I Saw God Today - My Muse

Today, February 26, 2011, I have decided to reopen this blog with a brand new name...I SAW GOD TODAY!

Each and every day of my life I see God's hand, hear His word, feel His presence. I want to share those moments with you.

I'm a writer. Lately I've been struggling with what path to take with my publishing career. I've been working on a book which has me very excited and passionate about finishing. My muse is my daughter. She is the one person I love to brainstorm with. She incites me to write better and to search for how God wants to use this ministry to his glory.

Today I gave her the background to the story and outlined the scene I'm working on. One of the characters has asked a question and I decided to stop and wait to seek God's direction on the answer given. When I posed the question to my daughter, she immediately came back with a fantastic response. My spirit lifted and I shouted "Yes!"

We continued to discuss some aspects of the plot and again she came through with sound suggestions which have me anxious to open the document and get busy writing. Then we chatted about the vision I have for using my book as a way to make money for our church's women's group missions. I felt God using me as the voice to outline my vision and it grew clearer. This is a goal that I'm so passionate about achieving, and I know God is directing my writing and the path for this book.

God is good, all the time! And, all the time, God is good! May your day be filled with His many blessings.
