Book Update - February

It seems strange to say this in my book update, but truly my book will be coming to a close because I feel God has called me to do so. Looking back, yes I had a lot of good things to write about - including many people complementing me on how "awesome" it was - but I feel that it was written more for the glory of myself rather than God. That is why I have chosen to discontinue it and if I do write a book, I want it to be for the glory of the Lord instead of me.

I hadn't really noticed it was out of selfishness until this past weekend, in which I truly learned why "actions really do speak louder than words." And this Bible verse also made me think about the aspect of doing things [for] the Lord that actually aren't [for] Him.

"'Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" - Matthew 7:21-23.

So maybe in the end, we have to be more careful about what we do, how we do it, and who it is supposed to glorify in the end.

Book Update - January

Believe it or not I have begun writing my book on the messages of 1 Samuel. For now I have only accomplished simple beginnings such as the forward and table of contents, but I am actually pretty sure that this may work out. Thanks for all of the support and especially a large thanks to my proofreaders and helpers! Hope the New Year is well!

Book Idea

Recently - on top of school work, track and field and Chinese class - I have been considering to write [another] book in hope to actually complete it and possibly have it published. I know I have written many books before and dropped them during the writing process - in fact all of the lengthy books I have tried to write have failed, but my record is 115 pages. My new goal is to rather than worry about the length and plot, worry more about the message, and nobody could present with me a better purpose and message than God.

I'm going to be writing on the messages God presents in 1 Samuel. That happens to be my favorite chapter of the Bible and after all of this time in enjoying it, I just thought: "What if I based one of my books on that?" But the one thing that holds me back is my distraction disorder. All I ask of you is for continuous support and guidance in what I do, and I know God can help me accomplish this, because in the end I'll admit that writing without help is tough, with support is a piece-of-cake. So in thanks for your support already, I want to say that you can contact me anytime if you need anything such as support, encouragement or guidance. And yes, I mean [you.]

Thanks for hearing out my newest book idea. God bless!
