Beginning my outreach.

Recently, about a few weeks ago, God has gently nudged me in a new direction: picking up a writing project. I have been asking for one for quite some time but have never had any good ideas.
Then, one day, an idea was given to me in Physics class. No class has given me a clearer picture of the magnificence of our God like Physics has, so it is no wonder that that's exactly where the idea was born.
The thing is--over the years I have accumulated books about effective writing or those by influential authors which I have always wanted to read but haven't had time to. Now, though, God has not only provided the time but also the sudden need to read them, and I take that as a sign of the beginning of a new chapter in my writing career.

I recently realized that even though I sometimes take my writing for granted (and compare it to other people's, such as that of famous authors who are my role models) it is a gift. I saw that when I had to help a friend write a paragraph about herself for a job listing and she just couldn't string her words together.

In 8th grade God urged me to start writing on a regular basis. Over the years he has provided me with valuable role models and promises for my future life as an author. Recently he has urged me to start blogging (I'm still not fully caught on to that idea), but now I see the benefit of that--networking.
And that's where I am right now. I am beginning to do my outreach work, starting to build connections. I am constantly in contact with people on Stuff Christians Like, which directs new people to my cause. I am constantly in contact with people from The Rebelution. I am building a wide base of connections in order to pave a way for my future work and for Christ through my work.

I'm really excited about this new book idea. I know it'll go somewhere because God revealed to me that it'll turn out significant, and he never says anything he doesn't mean. Isn't that just great?
