Writing Is Therapy

In April, seven years ago, I finally quit fighting and committed to God to share blogs glorifying Him in my daily life. I started emailing out seven days a week and then five days a week. I was not on Facebook until a friend encouraged me to share God's Word on there. If I went out of town I took my laptop so I could post. Not because someone couldn't do without my blog, because I made that commitment to God. Looking back I could say I don't know how I wrote five blogs a week but I do know, it was God. He had told me He would help me. Proverbs 16: 3, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."

I learned so much through this commitment. Number one was trusting God to truly help. Isaiah 55: 8-9, "'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' declares the Lord.'" Because of this trust my faith grew by leaps and bounds! Psalm 37: 4, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." God gave me perfect timing for His Words and that was proved over and over. By writing everyday I realized I had more stories than I ever thought and so do you!

Usually, I only share my health journey at Hope in Him and I explain why I don't share it more. Someone mentioned me writing a book. When I turned 40 I wrote my first book and then three more. I have the title of one I continue to think about writing, “Blessings of Breast Cancer: Finding God, Grace, Glory and Giggles in the Journey”. And thinking of one other. I hope to always write because that is my therapy. "Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation."
