On Thursday, October 6, 2022, those of us in the Cisco Writers Club met to share our passions about learning to write to meet the needs of others. Ruth York could not be with us that night, so Marjorie Moffitt led the group. Each one of us shared the kinds of books we enjoy reading, and why they have become so important to us. It was interesting to listen to each one share how and why they became challenged to invest their time promoting their field of writing.
The more that each one spoke, the more I wanted to run to the library to check out the books that brought such joy into their lives. Then, I realized, “Hey, no writer thinks alike.” As much as I love to read about the adventures of the Sackett boys in Louis Lamour’s books, there is no way I could capture an audience as he did in his books. For one thing, I haven’t traveled the world, or worked in different fields as he did. He shared his family – the good and bad of them. God used him to be a blessing to millions of people who needed to share his memories, and his lifestyle.
Just as He used Louis Lamour, He will use YOU to share YOUR life, YOUR experiences whether your love is history, science, education, humor, military, outer space, building, forestry, acting, movies, poetry, children’s stories, OH, MY! Too many fields to think about, but if you will allow God to use YOU to be a blessing to the world around you, God will give you the ability to share what’s on your mind with others. Just don’t be negative! Don’t doubt that you could write an article, a story in a magazine, or even put your dreams into action.God is waiting for you to ask for His help so that people around you can escape into a life that helps them to relax and enjoy the stories you share.
