I like....

Writing! It stimulates my brain and I have set myself the challenge of writing a story a day using the prompt set by the Photo-a-day group. I have found that it helps me from falling into depression. I have explored my bible so much more and it doesn’t cost very much. I have enjoyed the experiment; it has made me think outside my very small world. It has inspired me to use other cues for inspiration. Until I set myself this challenge I looked at my garden and the people I encountered for inspiration but there is a limit to how many new experiences you can have while confined to one thousand acres in the middle of nowhere. Certainly for me there was insufficient material to come up with a story every day. One good outcome of this trial is that I have sometimes been able to find more than one story a day.

After the death of mum I could no longer discuss ideas and thoughts with her and found storylines harder to find. So I had to find another way to move forward on my own. At the beginning of this, I thought the idea was crazy but it has worked so much better than I could have ever imagined. Sometimes it takes a whole day for me to come up with a scenario and occasionally I have sat at the computer without a clue as to what I am going to write. Words have come and I am so grateful for work of God in helping me do this. This makes this verse very relevant to me today: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11)
