“We do nothing. God does everything. All glory must return to Him. God has not called me to be successful. He called me to be faithful.”  – Mother Teresa

My heart longs to be faithful to the words God puts in my heart. I want to come here weekly and write things that encourage you and point to Him. But here is the thing, lately writing has not been easy. But who said the God call on your life is ever easy?

The hardest part about writing is writing. – Nora Ephron

This is what I remember from the Oscars last night. A quote by the now passed on Nora Ephron. She understood this writing thing. How every word seems to get stuck and at times it feels all like “blah, blah, blah.”  They all sound the same. I don’t want to be talking and filling this mysterious internet space with more chatter. Who needs more noise?

Writing as a mother is an adventure. I have this constant battle with my words and it seems like they want to come out at the most inconvenient times. I find ideas flowing when I can’t possibly get to a place to write them down and I forget them two hours later when I do have a moment to write. This could also be my forties playing a cruel trick on me. Who is to say?

“Blah, blah, blah,”  now I am chattering.

So I pray…

God use me in spite of me. Let me hear Your Words over all. Make this writer girl your girl first. Overflow my heart with what you want me to say. May I be found faithful.

Q: I’d love to hear from you soul sister. Do you find your God call easy or do you find it the hardest part?
