Yes, I am much more blessed t...Thank you, sweetie! Yes, I am much more blessed to write for Jesus. I've thought about writing Christian books, but the Lord took that passion and replaced it with a passion for Him. I have no desire to write another book. For now, I'm content to blog and post on RITAN. I find more fulfillment writing in smaller doses than books these days.<br /><br />I feel if I went back to Christian romance, I would be too tempted to fall back into the trap I was in. And I have no scholarly wisdom to write a book on God/Christ/Gospel/Bible that would be as good as anything that's already out there.<br /><br />I would also rather my insights be instantly available to the online community than waiting months in a publishing queue. <br /><br />In short, I find I'm "richer" and more blessed to write instantly for free than I would be writing books again for money.<br /><br />As far as finally being with Christ bodily, there's another experience God gave me for my life that paralleled our wait for our Bridegroom.<br /><br />My husband and I, before we were married, were separated twice by long distance. We met each other on Prodigy in 1992, a precursor to the Internet, and we became pen pals that grew into more. We met face to face and knew we never wanted to be apart. It was hard living 500 miles away from him. <br /><br />He came to live with me for a time, about a year -- a little over, maybe a year and 3 months -- before we were convicted and felt we needed to be apart and live separately until we were married. So he moved BACK to where he was. That was the hardest separation.<br /><br />But we were married 6 short months later, because we couldn't stand being apart -- we made it happen quickly. And I remember the day I married him, I was so moved, because I knew I would never EVER leave him again.<br /><br />The same with our Heavenly Bridegroom. He is with us in Spirit. He lives inside of us, giving us insight and the Bread of Life and the Living Water to sustain us. And we can come into His presence at any time as His priests. <br /><br />And while the Spirit comforts us, there is nothing that can compare to being WITH Christ, as I'm sure the Apostles knew all too well. Right now, it's like... we can Skype with God all the day long with the caveat that we can feel His presence. But nothing compares to the Real Thing, standing before Him, seeing, touching, hearing, and BEING.<br /><br />The closest I can come to touching God now is handling His creation, and marveling that God made this little leaf. God created this smooth stone. We were made to worship and adore Him. Therefore we will not feel "complete" until we are standing before the Throne.<br /><br />~~BeckaBeckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09591963226430102010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630581833469842431.post-74546858263650656002012-07-04T11:28:42.868-07:002012-07-04T11:28:42.868-07:00Aww, Beautiful story sis! I loved it. You do have ...Aww, Beautiful story sis! I loved it. You do have a wonderful gift of pen and it is much better to use it for HIS glory.<br /><br />Christ, the first love and beloved of all Christians. No love is greater than that of Christ. There is no other I want more than Him. Jesus! "So we shall ever be with the Lord". I long for these words to manifest. What a time it will be when my beloved Christ is visably with me. A connection never to be severed, a heart constantly surrendered. His face before my own. His Light, His All fully embodied in me. No barriers, no sin. Just pure Christ.<br /><br />Until that Day...<br />OhoShayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036238641142984263noreply@blogger.com
