Life is beautiful, and we all have a duty set before us, designed by God, for the exact things He has made us to do. The tricky part is, waiting for God to show you what that duty is, and not missing it when He has set it right before you.
Life has always been an up and down ride, full of directions and leadings for me. God is so very good though, and patient to a point I am to small to understand.
Two things have always been very clear though, I was made to write, and to glorifying God with my writing.
I began the journey of writing when I was little, I can't remember a time I have not loved thinking up stories. I am not the typical storyteller though, I am not a gifted speaker and therefore my stories have only ever, and will forever, be told by my pen, not my lips.
Even though I have thought up stories sense I was little, I have only just begun to try to share them with the world. This was not a procrastination on my part, but a time management struggle. To say my family lives a busy life would be an understatement. I have a host of siblings, nieces, and nephews. We lived on a farm and now we custom farm. I am the oldest child at home and I have a list as long as my arm of daily chores to be done. Life is full and beautiful!
This year, 2025, has been incredible! I have self published three of my Bible Copy Work Books ( which I will share more about in later posts) I have submitted a novel for traditional publication and I have self published a children's Christmas book (Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and I will share more about that book later as well!) yes, God is very good!
Besides this journey of publishing books I have begun another journey that aligns with the old fashioned feel of who God made me to be, I believe in returning to the old paths (the old paths so clearly designed by God to remind us of his beauty) because of this belief I have always been drawn to a simpler way of living. I have purchased two Belgian draft horses and I hope to share my journey of rediscovering the old paths of farming and livelihood, with you, as well as my journey of writing.
I cannot wait to see what God will do next!
God bless,
Emily A.
