Next Month

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm sorry I have not posted for some time. I don't want to make that a habit--to forget about my blog. I want to make this an important part of my life. I want to make it a part of my ministry to the Lord and to His Church. And to those who read this blog, I ask that you would pray for wisdom and guidance for me from the Lord as I write this blog and do other work in His Kingdom. I need His help; I would not be able to do a good thing without Him.
I also wanted to post something about what I'm going to be doing next month. A couple of years ago, I and my family found out through a friend about this website that, internationally, has a goal of writing in the confines of the month of November a 50,000 word novel. It is an utterly ridiculous, and totally fun way of getting through writing a novel. I have done it these last couple of years, both times not making it to 50,000 words. But I had a blast doing it anyway, and it was a creative way of making myself work harder then I would naturally. It was a wonderfully refreshing challenge, and I plan on taking up the challenge again, starting November 1st and trying my hardest to finish. You can go to the website by following this link. If I could ask for prayer for this goal to be met, but especially for Gods peace and the joy that He gives as I go into this task. I intend this story to be written to God, and I need Him to direct my words and my thinking and my heart as I go into this. Please pray that He would be glorified in this upcoming month.

Shalom
