Every now and then I have to show appreciation to those that have supported me-- those that keep me motivated to write, to them I say, Thank you! Those that listened to my verbal concerns, rants, flattery, and more--thank you! Those that read my work and paid for it--special thank you!
In addition to supporters, there are "Inspirations" that move me to pen my thoughts. From the beatiful artwork that someone has left on a wall for observers to analyze to someone nice I meet while working/shopping in public, these people, places and things are motivations for me.
Despite living in a world that promotes/glorifies/upholds evil, it is up to us as writers, speakers, teachers, parents, and others to bring good!
Wherever we might work and whoever we might talk to, it is our divine job to utilize the light we have to shine on lost souls in dark places. As a result of our Heavenly Father using us, we should see atmospheres cleaned, rearranged, broken down, and/or built back up again since being in a troubled person's presence or walking in a challenging atmosphere.
I know that there are many in our world who don't like to read or write. I also realized that these same people oftentimes don't like the ones who do especially those who are skilled at exposing falsehoods. But rather than show disdain for one's hobby, skill or craft or attempt to compete, he or she might want to embrace it--be grateful that one is courageous enough to say the things you could never say and read books you have no interest. The naysayers, thieves, backsliders, and liars are also my inspiration as well for writing.
Thank God for RELEASE, now it's time to get on with a new chapter, stay tuned.
