Book and the seed of creation

Well, I'm not going to tell our whole story all over again as that would rewrite an already written book. That said, our pastor gave a sermon one Sunday about reviving old dreams. It touched me. He posed the idea that perhaps God had been tapping us on the shoulder for years about some purpose that He had in mind for us. If that were the case, maybe we should consider pursuing that nearly forgotten dream. Of course the sermon was longer than this post but it really got me thinking, it struck a chord. Through the years, the idea that I was a good story teller came up many, many times. Not necessarily a good author/writer. Sometimes, to tell a story it serves a purpose to write it down. I actually think that I'm a better speaker. God kept waking me up to write. Finally, my husband started to encourage me to write a book about our marriage. That was key as it would be from my perspective and thus he wouldn't look so good. I mentioned that fact to him and his observation was that he wouldn't look so good because he was not very nice at the time. In other words, my view was pretty accurate. He was on board with the project. He's never backed off on that position. He says that we have a unique opportunity to help people in a variety of areas. Bless him. To be continued.
