The Writer In Me

-


Today I felt the writer in me come forward, she was asking to be heard, and she was flowing. The thoughts were coming and I was, as they say feeling myself again.

I  remember writing short stories as a 14 year old and after writing them I would give them to my friends to read.  At the time all I consumed or read I should say were romance novels, and what goes in is what comes out.  I began to write my own romance stories. Yes girls!!!

Then I gave my heart to the Lord, and one day I made the mistake of going to church with one of my romance novels... lol... don't know what I was thinking. I can remember it now, it was predominantly pink and the hero was muscular with long flowing blond hair and of course, he had no shirt on. So, the pastors wife came up to me looked at the book and shook her head. She didn't say,  "Kate are you reading this? You shouldn't. " She just shook her head. So I knew, right away, that I should not be reading romance novels.  Well that ended my romance novel reading. I tried to read other "Christian" themed romance books but that was short lived. School and music became my focus. The writer in me died.

Well how do I begin to write again, read again.  My only problem is I may not have the time, because a in few days the only books that should be priority will be those boring course manuals.  For three months I will be a student again.  

Well as I was saying the writer in me died, she was buried and now I feel her resurrecting, should I try my hand at a romance novel.  I think I just might. I  definitely have a story line, that I can't wait to tell.

My Epiphany

"And then you woke up"  Have you ever had this sarcastic remark spoken to you, right after you told a friend or a loved one of some crazy warped idea that you have, which they couldn't fathom or get. To bring you sharply to reality they usually say, " And then you woke up".  Recently something happened to me that caused me to do just that, not physically but spiritually.  It was something I had promised myself I would never do but I did it quite innocently forgetting my past statement. When my father died it was sudden I saw him on the Thursday and he was gone on the Saturday. It was a shock. I didn't want to accept it. There was a funeral , there were pictures taken it was recorded on video , and I vowed never to watch any of those.  Recently though on holiday or vacationing overseas with my family I found myself doing just that quite by accident. Seeing my dad's dead body did not affect me at first, then I saw it again and again, and then I saw him...

WHY?

I came across this poem I wrote in 2008,  today enjoy: Why? Aren’t you in Love with Him? It is a natural thing When you’re in love To praise someone It is a natural  When you’re in love to please To please someone It’s a natural thing When you’re in love To be excited about  someone So why aren’t we Christians Excited, enthused, happy Why are we hesitant To praise God. Why do we find it so hard to please Him? Why? Aren’t we in love? Our faces   Say a lot It’s either you’re hot, In love with God Or you’re not God does not like lukewarm No in between Why, tell me why Aren’t you in love with Him? Selah

He Still Loves You!

After months well almost over a year , I finally used the voice again. But this time it was different ... I wanted to be used by God. I am in love with God, I desire Him like never before and there is nothing more important than being in His presence. It took me a while to realize that I cannot live without His presence. Literally! I have got  to have Him, must stay in Him or else... I become a total mess. He is my joy... there is nothing and no one I want more , and I have learnt that I can do nothing without my Lord.  He is my reward, he is my "Ishi" ... Lover of my Soul. So what got me to this place... a series of misfortunate events but God !!! He is great and awesome amazing!!! He never gives up on us.  When you think you're at your worst , he still loves you. I want you to know that no matter what you've done or where you've been He still loves and cares for you and is totally in love with you. ...
