New Day, New Goal
Today I reached a milestone. It may not be something to many but to me it is something that I have worked toward and that God is allowing to write through me. Today I reached the 50,000 word goal on the book. A goal that I never thought I would have let alone achieve. It is something that I do not understand why and how would God give me a passion to write when there we so many times when I would fight my mom tooth and nail about writing or editing a paper in middle and high school. Some of the biggest fits and tantrums came and were surrounded by writing and how difficult I found it to be.
Then I became a communications major and the writing for better or for worse had to become easier because I had to do it much more often. Then grad school hit, and the though of a 5 page paper was a dream. I know I sound crazy even to myself. This is something I don't understand.
Why would God choose me to write about missions? Why would it matter? Why do I have a passion for people to do something and stop just talking about it?
I am learning I am asking the wrong questions. The questions that I am asking God should not be the why questions they should be the how questions.
How can I glorify God to write what he tells me to? How will it make a difference? I have a passion and how can I express it in a way that will show others Christ in the midst of it all?
These are better questions these frame the story and begin to frame the context of my life. Now it is time to listen, to learn, and to lean into what God is saying commiting to his word, and following his call.
The next goal is 60,000 words, a goal that can only be reached by God and I can't wait to see what happens in the next 10,000 words. My prayer is that he is glorified, that he is seen that I can understand and listen to where he is leading.....
Here's to what is to come.
