Thank you Lore. My book proposal wasn’t accepted by a Christian publishing company because, even though it was on a Christian theme, it wasn’t the Christian theme they were looking for. I truly debated over just writing what they wanted me to write, because they said they wanted me as a writer, and because I’m a people pleaser and because I’d love to be a “real” writer. But I knew you, and other wise writers, would say NO. It would not have been art, it wouldn’t been me trying to make money. Money-making needs to be done, but I would rather clean houses than merely market my words.

I love the line “I am a writer who loves Jesus...” because, for some reason, it felt like a reminder that I can be a writer who loves Jesus and doesn’t write exclusively about Him. Sometimes it feels like Christians must write about God to glorify Him, but perhaps God is most glorified by us writing the piece He has given us to write and writing that thing well. Maybe beauty is enough to point to God if you want to see Him. Lots to think about 😊
