Transitions—Part 1
Things are changing for me. For the last five years, I’ve focused on writing Christian fiction alone. Later this year or early 2020, I hope to launch an inner healing ministry called Refreshing Streams. Stay tuned. God has been stirring my heart to help others by bringing inner healing to life’s hurts. #transitions #refreshingstreams @donnalhsmith TWEETABLE
This blog might incorporate some of those changes. I began this blog five years ago to talk about process. The process involved in becoming a published author. I am now a published author, but I don’t do the traditional things in marketing my books. My focus is changing.
I’m preparing for Refreshing Streams and finishing up the first draft of my third novel, Hannah’s Hope, which I hope will come out later this year—about the same time the other two have.
I do love creative writing. My right brain just “cooks” as I write. I have a basic direction my story goes, but how it gets there surprises me sometimes!
All I can say, during this time of transition, I’ll probably only blog once a week—on Tuesdays. Because until I have more to say, it’s just words.
I have much to say—but I need to retool and discover the best and most beneficial way to say it. God is changing me into His image.
He’s freeing me of hindrances so that I help others become free.
He’s healing me of deep emotional wounds so that I can help others be healed.
He’s showing me on a deeper level, who I am in Christ. Who He created me to be—and who I am becoming. Because it’s more about who I am rather than what I do.
It’s quite a process, and I’ve been going through it for three weeks now, since March 25, and I have at least one more week to go—maybe even two. It’s not psychotherapy or counseling.
When I have something to share, I’ll share it.
I thank each and every one of you who reads this blog. May God bless you in whatever post you’re reading—whether it’s a post about writing, about rejection, about character, or whatever—thank you.
Blessings! Until next time!
