When a magazine editor complimented me on a column I'd submitted, I thanked him for encouraging me. Then I said:
This week, while listening to an interview with Joanna Weaver, I heard her say: "Writing is one of the hardest things I do."
I agree! I love to write, and I do write hundreds (sometimes thousands) of words a day, most of which I never share.
But when it's time to write something for publication or posting, I really struggle and pray hard before, during, and after!
If I were writing fiction or poetry, etc., I wouldn't be nearly as concerned with "getting it right." But since I'm trying to share as best I can what I feel GOD wants to say through me, I take that assignment VERY SERIOUSLY.
I never want to muddle the message or mislead anyone, although I'm sure I've done both. I think that's the reason I put off writing for the magazine and my blog until I absolutely have to.
In light of that, I humbly ask you, dear reader, to pray that I will write daily and well and that my writing will honor God and bless those who read.
