When
you're looking at someone's end to chart your beginning, you're going
to get lost.
I had a haunting yearning deep inside my soul that kept screaming - 'You need to write... Just write!' I had managed to subdue the screams with the chaos of life and the myriad of distractions that lie within. I did it successfully for a few years, but on the odd day when I managed to 'be still' (Psalm 46) it crept up to the top of my consciousness with a whisper 'I'm still here and you must still write.'
Obedience
has never been my strong point, in fact, I like to oppose things, not
even because I disagree with a point, but just for the sake of
opposing. I knew God was speaking to me, I knew what He placed deep
within but I needed to oppose. Now, I fear God,(Prov.
9:10) so I certainly wasn't
going to say an outright No, a girl is disobedient but she ain't no
fool...I know 'obedience is better than sacrifice' (1Samuel15:22)- so I
procrastinated...OK...OK... delayed, much
like Jonah did( we all know where he ended up)
but who was I kidding? God always wins!
