Action
Life has been crazy lately. So much has happened that I didn't see coming, a lot of trying stuff but a lot of good things as well. I'm in my last year of school, which is insane. I've been doing school for as long as I can remember, I can't imagine what life will be like when suddenly I'm not doing it. I like to think that I can be focused on writing full time but, knowing me, that isn't guaranteed. Just a couple weeks ago, someone was talking to me and some others about have goals. What's your one year goal, your five year goal, your ten year goal, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure it out. Writing is my dream and I truly believe that it's a gift God has given me but I don't know if or when I'll be able to live off of it and make it a career, for lack of a better word. My life goal is to pursue writing but I don't know how that's going to work out. I can't picture it in one year, let alone ten. I have so many dreams that I'm often hesitant to think about and let myself dream because I don't know how to get to that place or if I ever will. I'll quote Philippians 4:13 'till the cows come home but I don't know if I really believe it. I'm still trying to figure out where the line is between figuring things out on my own and leaving them up to God. I want Him in every aspect of my life and my future but I also know that I'm not going to accomplish anything if I just sit back, waiting for God to move and create miracles. Unless I write the book, God can't use it. It has to be put to paper, or at least Microsoft Word because it's useless in my head.
In James 2, it says that faith without works is dead. Unless I put action behind what I believe, then it's as good useless. In order for God to use my writing and my books, I have to write and create. I have to put it into action.
It's good to dream. I like to think that God cares about our dreams. Even if it's something as silly as me going to the UK to visit all the houses used in the Pride and Prejudice movie, He cares about us as a whole and that includes our dreams. Having goals hasn't been easy for me but at the very least, I can work towards my dreams and know that He'll be there for me. I don't know what my future looks like or what it'll bring but I'm trusting that it's going to be good and things will work out the way that they should.
On a side note, todays blog is a little short and I'm sorry. I was planning on writing something completely different but this came out instead, I hope it makes sense. I've been trying to think of what I can do to keep updates a little more frequent and scheduled than they have been and that might mean more personal updates, and I would like to try putting some poetry or even short stories up so, when I do get around to doing that, don't be too surprised.
Thank you to anyone who actually reads this.
