I loved doing this lesson with students that we all have a voice and play an important part in the work of God in the world :) Every voice sounds differently, but is unique and worthy of making a difference. lisahttp://aboutproximity.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-83491529305035016292013-06-20T11:49:50.752-04:002013-06-20T11:49:50.752-04:00Loved this post, and the gentle encouragement to b...Loved this post, and the gentle encouragement to be what you are and to allow others the same privilege. <br /><br />Also enjoyed the other commenters kind comments and felt inspired.<br /><br />Max, loved that saying!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765332646987825952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-66055224339006561152013-06-19T15:50:17.527-04:002013-06-19T15:50:17.527-04:00Very well said, Diana, and a much needed point. Sn...Very well said, Diana, and a much needed point. Snobbery among writers can be a sure fire way to lose the anointing. I respect good quality writing in every genre whether it's my reading preference or not. I'm not an Opera fan but I know good opera singing when I hear it and I admire the performer for their excellence in that field. As far as debut writers go...everyone has to start somewhere. Looking back I think I was pitiful when I started but I learned as I went and am learning more all the time. I always hope to expand my writing ability and improve my style in some way. You never arrive it's a continuous journey getting to Perfectionland. That's part of the mystique and excitement in being a writer. So be kind to the newbies not callously critical but lovingly guide and teach. Most of all use YOUR anointing as meant to be and don't try to imitate what you see others doing. Stay in your lane. People will try to aim you somewhere else but stay in your lane with your godly gifts.Marlene/Novelladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159928965340764077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-53952708167931807782013-06-19T14:24:56.959-04:002013-06-19T14:24:56.959-04:00I love that you're blogging about this, Diana....I love that you're blogging about this, Diana. I was just talking to a writer friend of mine about how I struggle with writing being a "calling." I don't feel called to write. It's just weaved into my DNA. I can't imagine not ever writing. When people say they are called to it, I imagine some important message has to always be revealed. But I simply want to write to entertain. My friend said this and I like it: I'm created to write. If others are called, that's great. But just because I am a Christian and a writer doesn't mean my writing is automatically a calling.
