A Voice Silenced

I am a writer! I have written a book, several small books and over 600 devotionals. I quit writing about three years ago. I think I just got too busy for it.

I believe that God has a plan for my writing. And that I am the one who has walked away from it for quite awhile. Now, here I am, I am sick so I am at home a whole lot more than I was. And, I have lost my voice. It is very hard for me to speak correctly. It feels like my tongue is thicker than it should be. I slur my words and the person I am talking to asks me to repeat myself many times. I wanted to be a public speaker. There is no way I can be a public speaker now. I don't know if my voice will ever come back or not.

I have a quote on my email that reads "My voice needs to be heard, even if it's only a whisper"! I wrote that! I still have a voice. It may only be a small one, but it is still my voice. And, that is what I write, a whisper. I don't know who reads my blogs. But, I can still say what I need to say through the written word. Here I don't stumble over my words and slur them. What I say is clear as a bell.

My life and my body have changed dramatically over the last couple of months. It came on very quickly, then I fell and hurt my hip and that makes things worse.

I don't believe that God made me get sick so that I would sit down and write. I believe that I GOT sick, and this is what I am going to do with it. And, I think God agrees with my decision. I am going to take this opportunity and write!!! I think the book will get started after the first of the year.

I don't know who reads this, but if there is something you need to be doing. Just do it. Don't wait for a major life changing experience to do it. God allows things to happen and we don't know why, they just do. But, I believe there is always something to be learned from it.
