30-Day Challenge, Day 19

 A talent of yours.

Well, it seems kind of self-centered to write about a talent of mine.  :-P  But then, talents are gifts given by God, and everyone has talents to do different things for God's glory.


God has given me a desire to, and ability to, write, particularly to write novels.  I think he's given me that ability to write effectively (several people have told me something I wrote made them cry ;-) ) so my desire is to use my writing to change people-- to point them to the Saviour.  After all, since God gave the talent to me in a first place, it only makes sense to use it for His glory!  I also strive to use my writing to encourage people, through blog posts, emails, letters, and Facebook statuses.  There are so many hurting people who just need an encouraging word and I hope the Lord might use me to do that in my writing.


Now, by reading this post, you probably think I don't actually have a talent for writing because that was very, very short.  But it's kind of awkward to write about oneself. ;-)  You can read more about my writing by clicking the tag on this post, "books I am writing". :-)
