I read a post a while back from a friend and it made me think. My thoughts went beyond what her post asked and I ended up with these questions. Perhaps they can encourage you or at least make you think.
If I’m writing a story for the glory of God, can I trust Him to give me the strength to keep writing even if only one or two people are blessed by it?
If I’m writing a story for the glory of God, will it matter in Heaven if people dislike it?
If I’m writing a story for the glory of God, do I believe that He will provide even if sales are down?
If I’m writing a story for the glory of God, will I lose faith in my Savior if I never publish it?
If I’m writing a story for the glory of God, can I let Him handle any negative feedback?
If I’m writing a story for the glory of God, does it matter if it never makes the world’s best seller list?
Do you get so caught up in the IF’s that you forget the God Who can do anything? What IF’s do you have? What do you need to remember when those questions and doubts come to you?

Thank you so much Miss Rebekah! <3 I have several "if's", like what if people don't like it, if I don't publish, if I fail. I need to remember the "if's" you've presented. <3 God is good, all the time. He won't leave me, or forsake me. He will use me for His plan if I obey. 🙂

Yes, exactly, Vonnie! I think every Christian needs to be reminded of this now and then. 🙂
