I'm laughing because without the chapters it means nothing. In other words I need to get typing!<BR/><BR/>Nicole--that's why we get along. I love change and I can't stand to be in a box.<BR/><BR/>Heather--God has taught me discernment through so many little life circumstances. Sometimes I'm wrong and let me tell you, He lets me know in a big, God way when I'm wrong. I feel mostly like Peter. I'm compulsive like that. "You want me on the water? Ok, command me." and I go. Then I realized where I'm at.

When is God using that person to teach me, and when should I ignore what to say?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470283761189392205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31051859.post-1165853304114333782006-12-11T08:08:00.000-08:002006-12-11T08:08:00.000-08:00Boy, do I ever understand, Michelle.

Why can't a creative work (and I'm talking written well--not sloppy, not ignorant)go outside the box of "rules" and be different? You hear all these representatives moaning about Christian fiction, but none of them want something to exceed their subjective rules.<BR/>Forgive me, the enemy is hitting back today.

I figure it is His plan, His story, His idea and He can develop it His way. Sometimes that means I write for Him alone. Sometimes that means I write so He can speak to only a small handful of people. And sometimes He plans for a bigger audience. <BR/>The problem is, I understand this in my head but sometimes my heart just needs to hear "Hang in there, Beloved. I have plans for you. Trust Me. You're doing what I asked." Sometimes, like today.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://jlcary.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Abundant blessings,</A><BR/><A HREF="http://jenniferlynncary.com/" REL="nofollow">Jenny Cary</A>Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282306699437598730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31051859.post-1165680914774488412006-12-09T08:15:00.000-08:002006-12-09T08:15:00.000-08:00Good stuff!

Though it's the one book I actually felt the Holy Spirit help me write.<BR/><BR/>I believe all my other ideas are God inspired because I know in the natural I have no creativity :)<BR/><BR/>But I also think that God can give you an idea that can be tweaked to fit the selling market. That's the analogy you used about cooking and using the right ingredients, and that's what I'm learning in this season of my writing life.<BR/><BR/>I have God given ideas, but if I don't learn and use all the writing rules, my words will never see past my computer to reach those who God wants to reach through me. It's a hard lesson to do it the way it's supposed to be done, but I'm learning and God is patient!Gina Conroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647753231391009981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31051859.post-1165677713011198422006-12-09T07:21:00.000-08:002006-12-09T07:21:00.000-08:00Excellent post, Michelle.
