~~ Psalm 27:11 (NIV84) ~~ Teach me
your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

It’s day Ninth of
the 15 Habits of Great Writers challenge. Just to recap for those
new to this series, so far the habits we’ve talked about are: Declare, Believe, Initiate, Practice, Prepare, Steal, Start Ugly and Build. The ninthe habit of great writers our
challenge host, Jeff Goins, tells us is to ‘Connect’.
The challenge was
to connect with people that we will need in our career of being a great
writer. Those would be Friends (those
who can help us, and who we can help), Fans (that would be you, Sweet
Followers!), and Patrons (the leaders and influencers in the industry).
I read this and
my Social Anxiety started to squirm again.
Then, I realized that I’ve already taken the first steps to connecting
with these people. I know several
authors, I chat with a few others online now and then, and I have fans; which
is a list that’s growing slowly but surely all the time. I love all of you! Truly.
The Patrons...
well, I’ve been in touch with a few self-publishing companies. They’re very nice people, and they sent me
some great info packages. But the best
Leader that I need on my side , is the one that I’ve asked to be my Guide and
Leader since the beginning. That would
be Jesus. He has brought me the people
I needed thus far, exactly when I needed them, for everything from starting to
write in the beginning, to those who have encouraged and helped me in many ways
since then. He helps me write, He led me
to start blogging (He even chose the theme of Worship Melodies!).
What greater contact would I need on my team?!
~~ Dear God ~~ Thank You, Father, for giving me this talent
for words, for the passion to use it, and for leading me so far in this
journey. I pray that You will continue
to lead my every step, and every page I write.
Please continue to bring me the people that I need to continue to
advance. I ask that my work will help
others, always; and to show Your glory in every work. In Jesus name, AMEN.
