Forty Plus Miles

       Light pours suddenly in, splits the darkness surrounding, and gives the promise of hope. Light wakes each life met, speaks a greater way, comes with hope in His wake. Jesus, You are the Light, and I'm glad You're here.

         The turtle tries, making much. The turtle takes time, looks long, thinks thoughtfully through time, through trials. He hopes, walks whether worn, remembers resilence redeems, finds faith for fruitfulness, amasses abundance amid all.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

        Below are some recent writings I wrote as encouragement for me, as well as just a lot of experimentation to create SOMETHING....EVEN when you're practicing. I ALMOST didn't share it; but thought maybe it would encourage someone else also to create something constructive and good if I did. Write Again (Nonfiction) One word one over-tired, sleepy morning; still, I'll write try. I'll write again, even in the exhaustion. Go (6-word Nonfiction)  Go. Give grace. Give good. Go. Dare During (6-Word Nonfiction)  Dare during daunting defeat; dare, determined. Continuing (6-Word (Nonfiction) Defy differently; continuing calm, remaining resolute. Heals (Non-Fiction I Wrote) Hope. Hope. When it's heavy. When it's hard to. Hope. Hope heals.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someon...

          I wrote something the other day in the genre of nonfiction, and if I'm being fully transparent I am struggling with whether I should share it or not. Not because I don't want to, or that it's something really controversial, but I do not want to be a hypocrite if it's something that I may be saying, but struggling to believe or live out. Maybe that's the point though: stepping into a belief and applying it, even when that belief doesn't come easy, or is only a little (whether that's a tangible act or not). So with that said, I'm posting here what I wrote the other day down below. Maybe it will be an encouragement to someone, to not wait until things are perfect to have faith in Jesus, and in turn in good. But simply to believe even when that belief doesn't come easy; maybe that's the point.  In The Going (Nonfiction)          Grace in the going. Rest in the running. Hope helping hurried hours; here I reflect. Praying, writi...

          I would read it over an over and never fully understand it; then one day it changed. I kept seeing the phrase "Aha!" in Bible reading and I didn't understand it 'till then.            Fast forward several years and another "Aha! Moment" would happen; I would learn how to express myself in another way: a fusing of two genres together. The other morning I wrote something that surprised me. I was able to write nonfiction and fiction together. As I learn how to do this, I find this confidence spilling over into other areas of my life also. Whatever your "Aha! Moments" are, know it isn't just confined to one area of your life. Below is the most recent "Aha! Moment" I wrote about. Sharing it to encourage and empower someone.            In The Consistency (Nonfiction Experiment)          After a heavy week, under heavy days, writing, writing. It's all a fog, the inspiratio...

            At one point in the submission process of sending writing into various publications I started seeing something different in the forms to submit writing: an asking for an author page. Before blogging here I usually dismissed it; but this time is different now. I wouldn't call this (or my Patreon page) an "author's page".... it's more. It's about making a difference, NOT JUST sharing writing. I'd share links to my YouTube channel here, and even post pictures if possible; I'd even post a link to my PayPal here (to generate income WHILE making an impact) if possible. Since recently learning however that Blogspot (the Google platform I use here) doesn't allow those sort of links (I've tried and even researched it), I find myself wondering what else is limited (yet I'll still work with this since it's free here regardless). As I'm learning how to better use these resources (this blog included), just know I'm not here for s...
