The Job of Writing

Yes, writing is a job, just like any other job someone may have. When I started writing, I never considered it a job, just an outlet for my thoughts. Now, it has become an eight hour a day job.

With my other jobs her at home, sometimes my writing job is done late in the evening. It is rare for me to get to bed before midnight. But this is what gets through my days.

Now, I have had some jobs that I hated in my lifetime. Also, some jobs that were physical labor, which I did not hate so much. At least I stayed in shape. I do not hate to write. I love it and it relaxes me.

Then, there are times when I cannot write. Sounds bad doesn't it? This week has been one of them. A very dear friend has been in ICU and I spent most of my time praying for him and his wife. It works, he is improving a little.

Most of you know I care for my mother and this has not been a good week for her. She seems to be regressing instead of going forward. I hate to see her like this. She has always been a sweet lady and to see her so stubborn makes it very hard on me.

The only thing I can do is trust in the Lord and He will get me through this. I do know to do that and that helps. I wonder how people get through life when they do not have faith in God. He has been someone I lean on constantly and fervently. When I study the Bible, I have a greater knowledge of God and what He wants me to do. Without the Book, I would be lost.
