Getting Out of the Boat

Getting Out of the Boat!
    "And he saith unto them,Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm."  Matthew 8:26

     I'm sure some of you are wondering why I posted this verse. To get out the boat, or better yet, to get out of our comfort zone to serve God better, we need to have complete faith in God. One of my favorite mottoes is :"If God leads you to it, He will lead you to through it". Many times we, yes me included, forget this. We want to continue doing what we're doing, instead of trying to grow in our walk with God. God has been speaking to me a lot recently about my writing talent He gave me. My first book I started writing is a children's book, called Lucky. Of course, it's not finished. Then I moved on to writing a Christian romance. It's not even close to being completed. Lately, even though I get ideas for the story, I come up clueless. I've been wondering,"what does God want me to do with this story? and "why isn't the story going anywhere?". Yeah, you guessed it. I'm stuck, but you know what? God  is getting me unstuck. I'm sure you're asking how. I have felt God leading me back to my children's writing recently but I haven't  been listening evidently. Hmmmm  Maybe that's why my interest in my romance story has gone stagnant.  I'm sure God will lead me with that story one day, but not now. He has been asking me to get out of my boat and write for children. I have been fearful and disobedient, but this weekend, I have vowed to God, that I will pull my children's book out and work on it til completion and study and write more for children. God is so good. He lead me to a children's writing website/group and another site for writing. That means more studying, but I love to study. If God is leading me to this, He will lead me through it. I don't know what my writing career will lead to, but I know with faith that God will help me serve children through my writing. I work at a Christian daycare/kindergarten center in Brookhaven, MS. It's the best! I love my babies, their families, my bosses, and coworkers. I thank my Lord for sending me back there to work and serve HIM. I also thank Ms. Kathy and Ms. Cindy for rehiring me and supporting me daily. I couldn't ask for better bosses! Thank you, if you read this! I know I've said before that I was gonna start writing here daily. But of course, I didn't. I apologize, but I've promised God this time, that I will! I've gotten out of  the boat and I'm trusting God to help me with my children's writing career. I hope He will also help me be a better daycare worker. Well, I'm gonna close for now so I can study and work on my children's book. I wish you a blessed day and may God bless each of you. Please always feel free to comment.
Love and Prayers,
