As I continue taking time away to hear what God is speaking and continue making time for the moments that matter I am finding the Author of my faith is finishing my story (or at least this chapter of it).
He is finishing this book on the inside of me.
Maybe that's why it's not finished on paper quite yet.
You see, I started a journey last year (except really, it started way before then) of writing a book I was certain I was supposed to write. I was so sure, in fact, that I attended my first writer's conference and met with two publishers. One publisher was interested and said she wanted to see more. Home from the conference I was determined to squeeze the words out to finish what the publisher wanted to see. Instead, I stared at blank pages and an empty computer screen.
And wondered why.
Why the words wouldn't come.
But I know now this story, this message, isn't finished.
He's still writing and I'm still learning.
Don't give up on something God has told you to do - no matter how long it takes.
Your story isn't finished yet.
Let the Author of your faith continue penning the pages before you...

Thank you, Stacey and Angel...so glad you stopped by. And I love how God always speaks to our hearts and spirits collectively, no matter where are physically. Love and big hugs! :)
Thanks for giving me the nudge I needed to keep writing what He wants me to write. :)
"Don't give up on something God has told you to do - no matter how long it takes." - Yes, thank you for that!
Those are the best books--the ones God finishes. Birthing our words is hard work, yet when God gives them to us, it's a bestseller in the the kingdom of God.
Well of course, I had to come visit you from SDG because I'm a 'Shelley' too - lol
But I also know I was suppose to be here because I just LOVE this post ... simple yet sooo profound and encouraging ... it was a word like an arrow to my heart today!
I just know the book He writes within you has a 'fairy tale ending'
God Bless!
