Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
Look at me being so late this morning. Last night a story came to me and I was up until 1 writing it. I am trying to put together an anthology of my short stories, but the rewrites have proven to be a bit more challenging than I had expected. Writing a fresh new idea made me think that I should just start writing more short stories from my own thoughts and that will become the anthology. If I want to make it for the challenge that I am in, Novel 90 – a novel in 90 days, I have a little work to do. I am only at like 20k words or so, looks like I need to use my imagination…hahaha.
I had pretty much written off being able to finish in time, thanks to a busy fest schedule, doctor appointments, and let’s not forget the hospital stay…haha. However, last night I was in my club meeting for the challenge, and the overwhelming energy and enthusiasm was incredible. I am not the only one who may not make it, but the encouragement to not stop and see what happens … lit a fire for me.
Have you ever started a project thinking that it would be a piece of cake, only for it to turn sideways? Then you changed your mind on some of the parameters. Add to that new ideas and concepts that popped up in the midst of just trying to do the first idea. Haha. Yeah, it can be a fun time trying to stay on track and finish on time.
As I think about this particular book project, I think about the idea that I had originally and where I am headed now. Not completely different; however, not MY idea. Totally God’s. Because I have set MY thoughts aside and opened my eyes to His desire, I am confident that I have several new stories coming to make this anthology work.
When we are willing to step out of God’s way … it is amazing the direction that He will lead us. A bit scary sometimes, but the result is priceless and so rewarding. Today, go to Him in prayer and discuss the projects in your life. Open your heart and mind to see and feel where He is leading. Then … with each step of faith … follow His direction. The project will come together and the outcome will be wondiferous.
Be blessed today my friends.
