Back in the driver's seat!

I'm so excited! Today I finished another chapter, and it wasn't an easy one. But God worded my mouth and it a great session. I decided to set a timer for atleast one hour to be sure I got some decent writing time in. Well 1 hour was a start. I actually went over! Tomorrow I will set my timer for 2 hours! : ) Here's an excerpt from today's writing in Chapter 7 Increased Faith(

Some of us think because we know God exists that we have faith. But in the book of James it says that even the demons believe that there’s a God, and they tremble. So simply believing that God exists and that he can do what he says he will is not faith. It’s simply you acknowledging a fact. And we all know that it is possible to believe something and acknowledge it as true but do not live our lives according to that truth. But with faith in God, you have to embrace it and live your life as though you believe. We cannot live in contradiction to our confessed faith, and expect to receive from God. Hebrews 11:1 says Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things “not” seen. In Hebrews 11:6 it says that without faith it is impossible to please God. So what does this tell us? It means, if we are going to live in faith, which is the foundation of a Christ centered life, we will always have to believe Him for something that we don’t have. Whether it be financial, physical, or emotional we will always need God for something.

.I need to brush up on my editing, the grammtics aren't tight yet in this chaper, but I"m just trying to get written then I'll go back and edit. This is a Christian Faith Based Book..for Inspiration and spiritual Guidance. Non ficition

Blowing the dust off this Blog!

Wow, it's been so long since I've written here I"m embarrased! I have not published my book yet. Because I have not been writing diligently. I have written here and there but nothing to really talk about. I Only have a few chapters left about 3 I just really need to buckle down and do them. I've been managing too other blogs. I recently opened a Business which I"m trying to build the correct way, and my personal life is quite full. So much is going on, but I know that this book.. To which I have changed the title since I"ve written here last. Who's fault is it really, must be finished this year. God gave me this book, and I've let him down with not getting it finished and published, Lord please forgive me, and I pray for the discipline, the insight, and the resources to finish and get this book published...In Jesus name Amen.. So many things are going on, but I must take care, I must guard, and share this gift. I must obey God.

Okay? Soooooooooooo lol

I haven't been in this blog since 2008? Pretty sad, I didn't work on my book at all in 2009 so many things has happened and I've been into so many other things and took a break from the book. But this year I will begin again! It's 2010 and My motto for everything will be to just get started...that is half the battle.

I'm stuck!!!! Help.

For those of you that can get a prayer through! Send one up for me! I am on the sixth chapter of my book, the 78th page. I have four chapters to Go, but I've been here since March! This is a somewhat difficult topic. It's dealing with delayed prayers and how we as Christians respond, and should respond when we don't get what we ask God for, and When we ask for it. This Chapter should shed light, and give peace while waiting. It also tackles a lot of mis conceptions about How God answer's prayers,and what He will and won't do.

Just because we ask God for something in Jesus name, it doesn't always mean we will get it. There are some variables that must be known, and understood. Everything is answred according to God's will. (God is not our personal Genie) This chapter was harder than what I thought it would be. So many debts to consider, and every person's situation could be handled differently from God's perspective and Plan for that individual. None of us know the mind of Christ, He does what he does? His plans are "His Plans" and His timing none of us know? He's our creator, He can do this! lol. So, How do we keep our faith where it needs to be while waiting on a prayer request to be fulfilled. Bottom line: We keep Our eyes on the One "Who" promised. Our Christ must be the "object" of our faith, and not the request we're waiting on. God is Faithful.

This may be one of my shorter chapters, as it takes time,many trials, and maturity to fully understand Why God does what he does, regarding when prayers are answered. And we could do an entire life time of living and still not know! (the secret things they do belong to God.) Please pray for me, I will need the complete revelation of the Holy spirit, for every single word in this chapter. Trust me, I have my own personal experiences and I have several testimonies, and several pending... but these are just that, my experiences and my testmonies. It's different for each person. Pray my strength. May God bless you with More faith! Know God's word, and trust it to the end!

"LORD, HELP ME TO WRITE!"

Well since this is a journal of my journey I must post the good with the bad. As you can see when I was writing everyday in my book, I eagerly posted here everyday with no hesitation! Since I've started my new job I haven't been able to write as much as I'd like. 45 minutes here and there,I know that isn't going to get me where I want to be. I still haven't been able to adapt to being back at work. I've been working for over 2 weeks now. I better get it together soon, I want to have my book finished by the end of March, and right now its not looking too good. This happened to me last year and I can't let it happen again. I will have to commit all of my lunches and Saturday mornings to getting this done, since most of my week days are taken up! Lord I wish I had a mentor in this. I know there has to be a better way. I know people who've completed many books and they have full time jobs and children! I don't know if they operated on only 3 hours a sleep a night or what?

I should be able to finish this book without depriving my body of its necessary rest!? Today a publisher contacted me to follow up on the manuscript. And that really gave me another jolt!

until next time!

New Chapter!

I'm well into my 6th Chapter, this subject matter is going to be very detailed. I'll have to go over this a few times to keep the writing powerful and easy to understand. (this could get a little deep) I'll have to do more research to make it well rounded,(I'll need different points of view.)

This month is almost over? We're moving fast! You know, If I hadn't spent so much time trying to edit this book on my own last year. I'd probably be finished by now! : ) I need to remember that mistake and just write all the way through this time. I want to be finished writing before March 31st(It's doable)
I haven't been writing every single day as I had planned. I need to get back to that, but when I am writing it is for several hours. (but at this point every day is going to make a huge difference)

The real work I'm told is publishing and Marketing. I'm looking forward to that.
(oh and I need to save up the money to get it published, another minor detail. : )

Woooh

Okay, that was a close one! I believe I missed 1 or 2 days of writing in my book. (fear temporarily gripped my heart!) You other writers know the game? You miss a few days of writing and it can be down hill from there!

I have a bad habit of "justified piddling." That is, filling my days with work that does not contribute to my primary goals. These types of distractions seem to seek me out and lure me away all the time! I soon become interested in some "other" project, and before I know it, several hours has passed and I'm calling it a day. But this year I am more focused!

Sure some days are going to be worse than others, but I won't allow the bad days to set this years tone for me. I will shake it off, and get back up!

Yesterday I was very good; I resisted the temptation to "piddle" after a morning meeting that ran into the afternoon. Once I picked up my lunch, I wanted to come home, eat, and rest(maybe catch a show) Well, I resisted that time stealer by placing my food on my desk, right next to my lap top!

After I finished eating. I jumped right in! I wrote for 2 hours which puts me very close to finishing the chapter I'm in. I was very proud of my self.

Isn't that what it takes most of the time? Jumping right in? You've gotta do it, before you have too much time to think! If not, you'll think of many reasons why you should be doing something else!

Until Next time people! : )
