I consider myself a writer, and while my space (or voice) is not a large as others, I have been wrestling with this very notion. Of being a silent prophet. In a way, I discovered myself because of writing. But more importantly, I discovered God more because of it and with each word I write, I see him a little more clearly. I have in my bio on my website, “Writing has never left me and I hope to never leave it.” Oh, how the same is true of Jesus and I see how much they are intertwined. For it’s when I feel that peace, as you mentioned, that shortly after follows a quiet nudge in my soul, until it becomes like a fire shut up in my bones that cannot be contained and must be poured out as words. I want more of that this year.
