| Stay focused |
Whether you are a wRiter, fRiend, aRtist, or just like to stop by my blog, I must share a story that will make you think twice before beginning your next venture.
One winter night composer Johann Sebastian Bach was scheduled to debut a new composition. He arrived at the church expecting it to be full. He soon learned that no one had come. Without missing a beat, he told the musicians that they would still perform as planned. Bach raised his baton, and soon the empty church was filled with magnificent music.
Doesn't this story make you want to do some soul searching? I closed my laptop and asked myself, would I write if God were my only audience? Would my writing be any different?
Bach's story reminded me to stay focused on what God has called me to write, whether anyone shows up or not. The stories will fall into the hands of those who need to be encouraged along their spiritual journey. That is why I wrote and published Lady and the Sea, and that is why I am continuing my writing journey with Lady on the Run, a book to help women run their physical and spiritual race at their own pace. Believe me, I'm writing from my own personal experience--I know the importance of not comparing our race with others. From walking to jogging, from jogging to running, we can run our race successfully if it is at our own pace.
That my ways might show forth Your glory,
That You, dear Lord, greatly deserve!
With Your precious blood You've redeemed me--
In all my days, You I would serve! ~ Somerville
Do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Matthew 6:1
