Five Minute Friday ~ Write

It’s Five Minute Friday with Lisa-Jo a time where writers take 5 minutes to write on a prompt. This is a time of free writing, straight from the heart with no editing. Today not only am I linking up with Lisa-Jo but I am also linking up with Denise Hughes as part of a Writing Your Writing Story assignment. While this isn’t my full writing story, it is a glimpse into the journey God is leading me on.

Go

I never have and I don’t ever think I will be able to call myself a writer.

It’s not something I was born to do.

But there was a day, a week, a month, a year when life was so insanely hard that I felt one more piece of bad news, one more responsibility, one more breath and I would break in two.

And that is when I began writing.

God knew I needed a way to express the pain, the sorrow, and the emotions and in that I picked up my pen and journal…and I wrote.

The words were a lifeline between God and me. They expressed the feelings I couldn’t utter out-loud.

And in baring my soul to Him I began to heal.

Today the pain is gone. Healing took place and life moved on.

But today I still write…not out of pain & difficult circumstances but because God showed His amazing love and compassion and I want to share that amazing love and compassion with others.

I want others to know that when life becomes unbearable there is a God who loves us unconditionally.

There is a God who, when everyone else leaves us, His Love never fails and He will always be with us.

Stop

In His Calm,
