I write because...

I write because…

 …more than anyone, I need to hear it. (I’m preaching to myself!)

 …I want to share what God lovingly places on my heart.

 …writing is like worshiping to me, I have to worship through music, it is part of me, it is in my blood and I have to write for the same reasons. I cannot stop myself!

…it helps me to remember and apply what God is teaching me through others and through His Word.

 …I know there are so many people in the world without hope and I want to share the hope that I have, praying that they might also find it.

 …it helps me deal with the things of this world that are so difficult to understand.

 …there are people out there just like me who might need a word of encouragement. I know there are days when I do. Maybe something I write will encourage just one person.

 …writing is like sitting down with a hot cup of tea, homemade biscotti and a good friend.

 …I sometimes need to find my way back to the Source.

  …I’m a real person with real joy and real pain and it helps to write about it.

 …I desire to make a difference with my simple words for as long as there is breath within me.

 … His light is not meant to be hidden under a basket, but to be shared.

 …it is like a pressure valve on my heart.

 …I must!

 I am just like the rest of you, a real person with real feelings, real joys, and real pain. I love Jesus and I want to share His hope with you. I love life and I want to enjoy and treasure every moment of it, even the hard times. My words are simple and they may not be grammatically correct or brilliant, but they are meant to encourage and bless anyone who reads.

 I am grateful for every person who reads, whether you read one time or whether you read faithfully and I am so thankful for your kind comments. They encourage me greatly!

 I will continue to write as long as the Lord continues to give me things to write about.

 God bless you with peace and grace!
