Finally, I am on vacation! Yes, I am off for an entire week. Well, I'm off but I still have a lot of work to do. I am at Starbucks right now and I plan on being here until around 3pm. And after I leave here, I plan on going to Barnes and Noble until 10pm. It's rough, but it has to be done. If I plan on making it, and I do, I have to put in the work and this is the only time where I have unlimited time and no constraints. I have 3 websites to complete and hopefully I can get a goood portion of my book done. If I do, I might let you all get a sneak preview of it. But that's only if I can get a good bit done.
Usually I have a story and then advice to follow but today is a little different. I am going to ask you all a question. And I want your honest opinion. I am in the process of trying to write articles for magazines. I have written a few interesting things and posted them on facebook. I've gotten some good responses but my question to you all is if I start writing for a magazine or website would you all read it? I am having a little doubt in my ability to write. I am trying to see if I'm interesting enough to read. I don't know if I will be posting articles everyday or every week or just once a month. I'm just trying to get my foot in the door. I would love it if you all would give me some feedback on this, if not I understand that you might be busy. This is what I will be working on all this week. Sorry for the short post, but I have to get back at it. I have to take advantage of all the time I have. But I will leave you with this thought.
Take advantage of all the time you have and prepare for what you want. A good friend of mine gave me the best advice I can think of, he said, "Success happens when opportunity meets preparation." And that's what I am doing...I am preparing for my opportunity.

Good morning!
ReplyDeleteWill I read your article? Absolutely! Do you write well or interesting enough to keep me reading? Yes. Continue in your assignment because it is not always about ability...but frankly, availability. God is looking for those that are WILLING and OBEDIENT. Not willing and able. So as you continue to remain faithful to what He has put in you to do, He will add to it. He is the ultimate writer. Just note how the Holy Bible was written....as Holy Spirit inspired. Apply Matthew 6:33....and writing and READERS will be added.
Blessings!!!

I also have a question for you;Should it matter whether or not I will read it? What are you goals and more importantly what talents do you believe God has blessed you with. Please seek not guidance from humans who are only but a breath. Seek God's guidance and regardless of what men and women tell you, strive for it and know just by doing that, you are successful!
ReplyDeletePsalm 139:13-14
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Jeremiah 17 7-8
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,whose confidence is in him.8 He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;its leaves are always green.It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Proverbs 20
24 A man's steps are directed by the LORD.
How then can anyone understand his own way?
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Jeremiah 10:23-24
23 LORD, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. 24 Discipline me, LORD, but only in due measure—not in your anger, or you will reduce me to nothing.
