RESURRECTION POWER IN YOUR WRITING!
“May you feel His presence today in your writing”.
This is
Philippa Lenton’s prayer for us in her April 6th post, titled ‘Eclipses and transfigurations’. As I
read through her post, I felt the presence of God and was inspired to drop this
post at that moment after my reading. God also brought about a couple of
factors to my consciousness. I was relaxed, refreshed and away from my crowded
space in London. I was in Majorca, Spain. The views of the Mediterranean Sea,
picturesque hills, the summer sky (even though it’s spring), and holiday makers
from various countries surrounded me at different points.
I enjoyed a buffet served 3 times daily to
satisfy my curious palate. All this kicked-started my writing for this post,
but best of all, a Christian crime fiction I had abandoned for about a year,
came to life! I am grateful to God when
He answers my prayers unexpectedly. If, in January or February, I had been told
I would pick up on my writing mood, I would never have believed it. His gifts
are always blessings and add no sorrow.
At the beginning of April, my husband and I were given the special blessing of a week's holiday in Spain through our youngest daughter. We experienced the pleasures of a truly blessed, relaxed, restful, restorative and reflective time. This released praise to our Papa God for the beauty of His handiwork. I was reminded of the hymn below. If you know it, please sing along!
‘O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the works thy hands have made. I see the stars. I hear the rolling thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee: How great thou art…’
Of course,
this is the season of the greatest miracle known to mankind. Our Lord Jesus
Christ, who conquered death with His life on the cross, put Satan under His
feet and released us to eternal life!! May you all receive Resurrection Power
in this resurrection season to resurrect your writing mojo from hibernation,
procrastination, and writer’s syndrome for the glory of God. AMEN.

Sophia, it's lovely to know that my 6 April post was such an encouragement to you. And how lovely that your daughter was able to gift you and your husband this wonderful holiday in Majorca! Holiday time is a great blessing, and you've turned it into praise. I love that hymn - it was one of my father's favourites, and we sang it at his funeral. xx
