I would like to comment on something you wrote on your home page. (Though I do appreciate this story.)
It is, "Ashley has been running from 'being a writer' for 25 years but has since realized that fleeing writing is as futile as trying to flee her nose."
I completely resonate with that. I've always known that writing is one of my true gifts, but I have been--let's say--slow to follow it. I would appreciate prayer every now and then for the Lord to light a fire under me! Thanks, and grace and peace to you and yours.
I have been praying since I read this comment. I also teared up, because sometimes it's easy to feel so alone in this "business of writing." It's wonderful to hear from a fellow writer who is willing to share in the personal battle that it is day in and day out. I appreciate your writing very much, James! Believe that it is your gift, and certainly a part of your calling. Keep going!
Ashley, thanks for the kind words. Writing is a spiritual discipline. And I think it's even truer for those who see it as a gift, as you might be aware. So let's hold each other up in prayer. Blessings.
