class="content__text" Continue: Poems and Prayers of Hope is out NOW! It's all so strange to me. I've said this before, but I never thought I would be a full-time writer. Most days I struggle to put commas in the right place and if we are being honest I don't know that many words with more than seven letters. Years ago a few people told me I could write and that I should write. I trusted them and began. And I haven't stopped. I’ve wanted to stop, but I couldn’t bring myself to hit the delete button on social media accounts or walk away from something I began. Some days I think I should get a different job. One that isn't as lonely and stressful and uncertain and open. Maybe back in the church or at a camp or something with plants. I'm not good with plants, but I think I'd like getting soil beneath my fingernails. Other days I know this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing. Writing. And sharing. And probably over sharing. Last summer, at a conference in Houston, I had casual conversation with the folks at @concordiapub . We chatted about what it might look like for us to partner together on a project. 11 months later and here we are. 'Continue: Poems and Prayers of Hope' is out now. A heartfelt and honest thank you to those of you who keep rocking with me. I am truly beyond grateful. • • • • #writtentospeak #createdtocreate #lovegodlovepeople #ChristianLiving #Faithblogger #christiancreative #handlettering #dailydevotional #poetryofig #worship #faithquote #igpoetry #littlereminders #biblejournaling #christianinstagram #faithpost #coffeeandjesus #poets #yesandamen #handwrittenreminders #prayers #continuebook #bookrelease #newbook #bymepoetry #thegoodquote #writerspocket #writingcommunity #spilledinkpoetry
