Why Writing a Book Is a Happy Thing

I found this on my computer from last semester, I hope you enjoy. :)

• I get to open sentences with articles. Multiple times. In a row. 
• I can use be verbs. 
• Exclams! 
• I can make up my own way to cite things. Somewhat. 
• No pointless busy work assignments. Amen. 
• I can use wikipedia! Oh wait, no I can't. 
• I DON'T HAVE TO USE FREAKING NOTECARDS IF I FREAKING DON'T WANT TO. 
• I don't have to avoid certain words because certain teachers don't like them. 
• I can have three sentence paragraphs. Or two. Or one. Or one and a half. And fragments and the occasional run-on! 
• The words my fingers are forming will have no effect on my GPA. 
• No strategizing whether or not math homework or writing is more important to get done now.
• I don't have to use times new roman 12 point font with one inch margins all around. Bring on the Helvica. 
• I can write in the first person if I feel so inclined. 

When things feel overwhelming, write a list of positive things no matter how small and trivial they seem. And who knows, it may help you in quite a few months :) 

It's been way too long since I've posted. I've been busy learning some lessons.

"Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way straight before my face" Psalm 5:8. 


I'm thankful God is sovereign and good most when I'm making decisions. He's moving a lot these days, I'm dizzy trying to keep up.

I'll hopefully be able to write another post this weekend. In other news: I printed what I have of my first draft and I'm going through it word for word, making it perfect. I had an incredible time at the Surrendering the Secret training yesterday and met some incredible women. God is doing so much.

Proverbs 31:1-9

 The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him:

What are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb? 

What are you doing, son of my vows? 

Do not give your strength to women, 

your ways to those who destroy kings. 

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, 

it is not for kings to drink wine, 

or for rulers to take strong drink, 

lest they drink and forget what has been decreed

and pervert the rights of all the afflicted. 

Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, 

and wine to those in bitter distress; 

let them drink and forget their poverty 

and remember their misery no more. 

Open your mouth for the mute, 

for the rights of all who are destitute. 

Open your mouth, judge righteously, 

defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Abortion is about "women's rights"? Do we just forget about these women when talking about it? 

I'm thankful I live in a country where the government cannot put me in jail and beat me for disagreeing with them, but my heart breaks for people in China.
