​110. Down This Road Before

I have great faith that God will use my writing to reach people who are like the person I used to be.

Unconvinced and uncertain of an establishment that claims great faith but dwells in hypocrisy.

I want them to know that faith in Christ goes beyond the misdeeds of those who pretend to be the chosen. The true Church, the real Church can be found in a building, but it’s also walking through our communities with the eyes of faith.

Jesus is real. I firmly believe that. He will come again. And my prayer is to write words that aren’t trite and cute but invariably construct the gritty reality we live in, one that Jesus has healed for the sake of our souls.

I will need help with this. I’ll need beta readers for a few book projects. I’ll need people to read and review my work. I’ll need people to promote it.

I’m not very good at this part, asking for help. If I could do this myself, I would. But being part of the Church has taught me that nothing is all on my shoulders. That Jesus has us live in community with our brothers and sisters to keep each other encouraged and to help drive the Kingdom forward.

So a request: please pray that my work finds the people it needs to move things forward. Please pray I stay obedient, not doing things my way but His way. Pray I have the energy to homeschool, write, publish, be a good wife, mother, friend, and person of faith.

Please pray that God’s will in this is done. Because I’ve gone down this road before on my own only to watch it fizzle out.

And I don’t want to live like that again.
