Your comments on my midweek Disney sidekick post were very inspiring.
Thank you so much!
You were all able to read my writing last week, since those two blog posts were the only things I wrote (so Meghan has nothing to critique- I can still send you what the other two girls critiqued, though).
There have been people in my house the last few days and it has been super encouraging for me. Sure, it may have been Cody's birthday yesterday. And there just so happens to be a quilting convention in Kentucky today. So the brother-in-law and grandparents that have been staying in my home have not come for me at all. But I feel like they did. I've been needing a hug from a mother for a long, long time. And I got a grandmother's hug, which is fifteen times more powerful.
I may not be quite to the brain capacity of formulating a plot yet, but I have a feeling that the encouragement I've received from comments and hugs this week will brighten up my writing a bit. Pain is a good topic to write about, but I've got to let joy take over at some point.
It's much easier to write about pain AFTER you've felt it, I think. YAY for God answering prayers in crazy, PERFECT ways. That's one of my favorite things - and I don't ever expect it, so it's always a surprise and I realize how blessed I am.
ReplyDeleteYou can do this, hun. Not just writing, but LIFE. We all absolutely believe in you, the power you have not just because you're talented and lovely and wonderful but because you're God's girl. BACK TO THE WRITING NOTE: I'm so excited for you to write more. You've said before how much joy it brings you so I hope that the time comes swiftly!
Love,
Little Froggie :)
I can literally feel your happiness when I read this and it makes me so happy for you! You're right, PAIN is a good topic and a lot of really powerful things come out of painful moments, but JOY is even better because it reminds you that the pain you suffered was not in vain. Keep persevering through!
