Thankful for the Gift of Writing!

So I've just come in from the fields, showered, and changed.


Now I've gone back to the keyboard to write, write, write! 

When I write I feel fulfilled, doing what I enjoy the most. Interestingly, as I cultivate my writing skills I find myself becoming a better listener. Writing allows me to express myself in ways that I can't in my everyday life. Once I've written, say, a new chapter in a book, I feel I can breathe better. When I write, I feel I can observe things a little more in depth. Right now I am finishing up one book and beginning another. These will likely be the last books I write. I am thrilled to know that people read my books. The greatest satisfaction comes when somebody appreciates a book I write because it resonated with them. For that I am immensely grateful! Writing is hard but it's so worth it. I love the craft, and I love the final product. The satisfaction will always outweigh the struggle. 

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of writing!
