I have an idea
I think is very good,
I open up the gate
To face the endless void.
With no idea where I go from here
Do I have a story to share?
Is it too late to turn back now
Should I start my story over
Or muddle through somehow?
If the story doesn’t flow
When I follow my heart,
I throw it all away
To make a brand new start.
I let my characters guide me
Along their hero’s journey
When I reach the end,
I can never go back again.
My world has changed
And I’ll never be the same,
When I write the story
God lays upon my heart
Instead of writing into the void,
My story has a destination
And a point at which to start
Instead of hitting a brick wall
As I often do,
Ask God to take your hand
And let your characters guide you
As you write your story,
Your characters will grow and change
They’ll take your story to the next level
And bring you home again.
Don’t write into the void
When you think your idea is good,
Take a step back
And let the story unfold.
Travel down the road
You’ve never taken before
Let God be in control
And open His special door
To a story that matters
More than you’ll ever know.
Step onto the pathway
As you walk through the gate
Open your heart,
For there’s where your story awaits.
