This is my journey...

I remember saying with ready fingers pressed on the keyboard, "Are you sure, God? I never wanted to write. Never cared to write." But there I was, typing away at the keys with a burden to share a story I had no idea where it would be heading. As time passed, I believed I was closer to reaching my personal goals, but every time I thought I learned something, I discovered there was more to understand. Learning comes in layers, peeling away what was there to find something exciting, sometimes difficult, yet new.

I began entering contests, guest blogging, attending conferences, starting blogs and writing for a mission organization. I laughed because the more I learned, the more I realized I will always be a shade of green, newbie green. Have I stayed the same shade? No. I've darkened a bit. However, I am still typing away, telling others what God has placed on my heart, unsure where I am heading.

I've also recognized the story I'm writing isn't the story I set out to write. It has to do with this journey I'm on as an author. How I share Christ with others. How I love people. Or how, relying on God to direct my path takes faith. I don't know where He will lead me, but I do know I need to trust Him. That's the real story.


This is my journey and I hope you'll join me.
