Decisions, Decisions!

We all have to make decisions in our daily lives. Some decisions are easy, while others not so much.   Think about it. Everyday we have to decide what we will eat and drink. We have to pick out our clothes, and decide if it’s better to leave the bed made or unmade. We even have to decide how those decisions could affect our days or even our lives.

Sometimes the decisions we make, effect those near and far, maybe even those we don’t even know.  So how do we make these decisions?  How do we know if God is planting a seed in our heats or it’s just our own desire leading us?

I have said over the years that it would be so cool to be an author.  Not just any author but one who everyone knows. You know the one’s, Shakespeare, Earnest Hemingway, J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, and many other greats.  I even heard J.K. Rowling was a poor single mother, who now no longer has financial struggles.  How do I get me some of that?

Many of us want some of that, the fame the fortune.  I don’t really want fame and fortune, Okay maybe I do, but that’s a difficult life style too.  No what I really want, would be to write a book that makes a difference in someones life. Maybe it could even bring hope to someone in need, or help confirm something for some else.

Doug and Travis both say  I should just sit down and write what I know about and go from there.  I had a great opportunity to write an article for “The Gather ” magazine.  It was well received and many people just reached out to me to just to say “hi”.  I had people commenting from the east and west coast.  The priest at the Catholic Church in town said, I should keep writing.

So as a shameless plea,  and if you read this blog, should I try to write a book or not? Would you read it?  I have no bible passage for this, just hope that somehow I will find the answer to my question.  Does God want me to write, or is it my own desire?
