Bethlehem Blessing

I like it that the Holy Spirit has made it clear to me that I will be advancing the gospel with my calling–with my purpose for being on this planet.

I have known for a while now that I will be and am now spreading the goodness about Jesus with my art, music, and writing. And for a short time, I have known that I will be doing some public speaking regarding one of my writing projects.

Today, I discovered through the Holy Spirit that in the not-too-distant future, I will also be preaching the word of God. I did not wonder about this when I found out. Several years ago, I finished writing a devotional book, and I am currently writing a book about reading the Bible. Neither has been published yet, as I have only recently monetized my business platforms to do so

In writing the two books above, I have received an education that helps me understand how to write a sermon. Also, in the course of writing the books, my research led me to read several books on sermon writing.

Although preaching is more than writing, I know it is a good career for me. I did take a public speaking class, and I grew up in a large family where I usually volunteered to speak for the whole group when needed. And, when I speak to people in general, I quote the Bible and offer helpful understanding.

I have been envisioning standing before people and helping them with the words of God. I think about Jesus and the whole Holy Trinity throughout all the days and evenings of my life. It only seems right that I should be sharing this with people.

Psalm 16:11 reads, “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy, in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” NRSV

Thank you for reading.

I love you,
