First Time Creative Writing
All my life, as far back as I can remember; I have wanted to write. In fact, I remember when I was a young girl, I would write my name over and over again while trying to think of something interesting to write instead. Then one day, one of the girls in my class shared how she wrote a poem. I don’t remember studying poetry or writing poems as any kind of assignment before that time. I remember thinking how that was the neatest thing! So that day when I went home, I found a good sized box and set it up on the patio in the back yard. I set it up just so that I was sitting on some table with my feet hanging into the box as I pretended that I was sailing in boat out in the sea. That was how I wrote my first poem when I was nine years old.
Aspiring to Inspire
I love how my classmate inspired me to do something I had never done before. I also love how my third grade teacher inspired a wonderful story to come out of me. In this assignment, I had to close my eyes and play with a giant marshmallow in my fingers while the teacher told a story. I don’t know how long the story was or even what the details were. I just remember that my imagination grew every minute. I don’t even remember exactly what I wrote except that it was about heaven. My story must have been impressive because I overheard the teacher talking with my mom about it. I also remember hearing my mom telling other people about it and making positive and wonderful exclamations about it. It felt really good to know that I could write something so positive and so well that it inspired the adults around me.
Continuing to Inspire
My purpose in writing this blog is motivated by my desire to inspire. I love and appreciate how the people around me inspire me. I love how my classmate inspired me to write poetry and how my teacher inspired this great story to come out of me. What I love just as much, or even more, is that I can write something that inspires the people who read what I write.
What I’m passionate about
I’m passionate about writing on Bible topics in a relatable way. I love to connect the different themes in the different Bible stories and relate them to today. I spend time studying the Bible with people and I’m looking forward to writing themed Bible studies in the near future. This has been a dream of mine for some time now. In everything I do, I want to encourage and lift people out of the low places in life and lift them up to the better places.
Why am I passionate about these things?
It seems like the things I hope to find answers to don’t seem to be written down in books or on the internet. When I find them, they seem to be missing the very things that I am looking for. It makes me feel like if there were all apples on a tree, I would probably be the peach that’s grafted in.
I find inspiration when I’m studying the Bible with people. Sometimes it seems so inspiring to me that I just want to write about it and share it. A blog is the quickest way to express that. What I mean is that, sometimes I’m studying with someone who thinks that there is no grace in God’s heart for them. Sometimes they feel that they have messed up so much that God can’t possibly be looking for them anymore. That is not true. As soon as we start studying and praying together, God reveals to them and to me how much He loves each one of us.
One More Story About Faith
One more story I want to share about my passion for Inspiring God’s Daughters. I had been studying about the sons and daughters of God and reflecting on God’s promises that He gives in the last days of earth’s history. Those promises are for today. I recognized that as a female individual who has accepted Christ as Savior and Redeemer, I am adopted into the family of Christ. That makes me a Daughter of the Living God.
I was visiting with a friend and I had already pondered this in my heart when she pulled out a devotional and started talking about it with me. I was sitting there with her but my heart was almost in a state of shock and I was so excited to hear another person talk about this same thing that I was inspired by. It made my heart leap and skip in hope to realize that other people think about things that nobody really talks about.
Going Far With Inspiration
This is what I want to do for other Daughters of God and those who desire to be Daughters of God. I want my writings to go beyond inspiration. I want to express myself in a way that hope, faith, and grace and love grow along with the inspiration that I share.
