Writer's Life: Footsteps and Faith

on March 31, 2009

For me, the absolute best thing about writing is watching God's plan unfold. God was active in my previous career, but my dependence on him has increased a hundredfold since I began freelancing. I listen for his guidance as to which publications to study and which submissions to send.

Every job, every query, every word written depend entirely on his guidance and his will. This is how we are meant to live, and as I continue to put pen to paper, and one foot in front of the other, I am blown away at what God can do with a humble servant. Acceptance letters are streaming in like never before, and I'd be lying if I claimed responsibility. It's all him. He is a rewarder of those who seek after his will.

Friends, never give up faith on the dreams God has placed in your heart. Remember the one who put them there in the first place. He will carry you to the places you need to be, and walk with you every step of the way.
