The first shall be last and the last shall be first.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 NKJV

A Time And Season For All Things

What inspired me to write my first book was my love for God. I was so thankful to be apart of the Christian family. Knowing that I am loved by God, and knowing He wanted me, it was very liberatinbg. It meant everything to me. He bought me a long way in life. I just wanted everybody to know about His great love for them. I desired they become apart of His family like I am. He's a great and loving God.
Thank you for asking! It all depends on the time of the year for me and what's going on in my life. Most of the time, I get inspired to write at the beginnig of the year. I started noticing my inspirational cycle over the years, and it is always the same. If I try to force the gift, it is just not there. So, I wait on the gift.
Yes, I get writer's block and it is real. When the gift to creative is flowing, it is a wonderful feeling and it flows. However, when it stops, it can be a downer. I have found that I cannot force it. So, I wait on it. Therefore, I take a step back from writing and do something else I enjoy. Sometimes I go for a walk when the weather permits me and other time, I visit with friends. Sometimes I exercise on my treadmill and other times, I work on making tie blankets to donate to others. Since I know it is a normal process for writer, I know its okay and all writers get it. Knowing this fact gives me permission to let it go for a while and take on something new and fresh. Like clock work, the creative flow for writing comes around again, and I begin to write. You have to find what works best for you.
Thank you for asking. I have been serving in Christian ministry for twenty nine years. The year I was called of God in the five-fold ministry was really special to me. I am so grateful to serve God's people. It is a lot of hard work, but the rewards of seeing God's people grow in Christ is even more rewarding. I love what I do.
