God’s Personal Pep Talk

November 10, 2017 by Patti 34 Comments

 “I really dislike my book.  My character is an insipid female with no strength of her own,” I typed in a text to my-friend-with-the-big-publishing-house-contract.

Which friend you might ask, and you’d be right in asking, because I have several friends who have contracts with major publishing houses.  I’ve seen these friends rise to the top of their game with #1 ratings on Amazon, calls to speak hither and yon, and multiple future book deals even now in the works.  I’ve had the privilege (and it has been a true privilege) of being there with them through beta reads, pre book launch discussions, launch team insider groups, and finally, sharing in the excitement of BOOK LAUNCH day!

I know, I know, I may be doing a little comparing of myself to others, and comparison is the thief of joy, right?  I’ve preached that with the best of them.

Here I sit with my little blog, occasionally checking in with y’all, while working on my own book on the side.  The book that alternately consumes every waking moment or lies dormant and forgotten under the other demands of life.  Namely, this “staging to sell” mode I’ve been in.

With all in order here on the home front I picked up the book writing again this week and began skimming through the pages to remind myself of where I was, and after reviewing only a few chapters, I came to the conclusion that I dislike my book.  Yup, if I were to pick it up in a bookstore and read the first few pages I would realize right away how beginner-ish it is and lay it right down again without giving it a second thought.

Y’all!  Fiction writing is H.A.R.D.! 

Making likeable characters is hard.  Showing instead of telling is hard.  Drawing readers into the story with all of their senses is hard.

I’m sure my husband does some inner cringing every time I tell him that I don’t know how to write good fiction and that I don’t know if I’ll ever get the hang of it (this has been an off-and-on theme in our household by the way).  He looks especially dismayed when I question whether or not I should give it all up.  After all the money invested in classes, conferences, computers, and tech help?  Not to mention the bazillions of hours of pouring my heart out on the keyboard, only to go back and realize that what I’ve written simply won’t make the cut.

How do I know?  Because I’m a reader.  I know good writing.  And I know that really good writing is kind of a rare thing.  But that’s what I want my writing to be!

So am I giving up?  No, not today.   Let me share with you some things I’ve learned in my QT this week (a week of extreme frustration and discouragement) that have caused me to determine to press on.

  • Monday, at my ladies-of-the-lake Bible study we had to fill in the blanks of the following statement:  “I believe God made me for a purpose, but He also made me ____________.  And when I do ______________, I feel His pleasure.”  You might guess that the answer to this was writing.  Writing is frustrating at times, but I do feel God’s pleasure when I know that the words He’s given me have touched the heart of someone else.
  • Tuesday, in my quiet time I was reading a passage in the book Chase the Lion, by Mark Batterson. Here are some key thoughts I wrote down in my journal: 
    • God-given dreams are more about others than they are about me.
    • The goal of a God-given dream should be to honor the God who gave it to me in the first place.
    • Am I living to make Him famous?
    • On the days when I feel like a no-name I must remember that if my dream is to honor God it doesn’t matter.
  • Wednesday, I wrote this quote, also from Chase the Lion: “If you stay humble and stay hungry [for God], there is nothing God cannot do in you or through you.”
  • Then Thursday: “In every dream journey there comes a moment when you have to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. You have to go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention.”
  • And today, Friday, my quiet time brought me to Psalm 63, A psalm of David, when he was hanging out in a desert.  I wonder if his desert was anything like this writing desert of mine?

You, God, are my God,

earnestly I seek you;

I thirst for you,

my whole being longs for you,

in a dry and parched land

where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary

and beheld your power and your glory.

Because your love is better than life,

my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live,

and in your name I will lift up my hands.

I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;

with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you;

I think of you through the watches of the night.

I had to ask myself what I wanted more, for this book to come to fruition or God Himself? 

Down on my knees I confessed and repented and declared my choice out loud, “I choose You God.” Click To Tweet

And I am humbled.

This week has been five days of God pouring encouragement into my heart every time I’ve turned to Him with my complaints and inadequacies.  Do you know what the meaning of the number five is in the Bible?   The number 5 symbolizes God’s grace, goodness and favor toward humans.  Isn’t God good that He spoke to me each day this week? 

Side note:  If I weren’t in the habit of journaling I might not have heard God’s message to me.  In truth, my journal often turns out to be God’s Personal pep talk to me.

So back to the writing table I go.  At least until I hear the Lord say it’s time to lay it down.

Maybe you too, are in a place of discouragement as you pursue your own God-given dreams.  If so, I hope the words that encouraged me this week might also encourage you.  

Blessings friends,

      Writing can be so hard can’t it Debbie? We never really know how many will read all the way through or be touched in some way. I often have to remind myself, as my friend Leslie said in her comment, that I must write for an audience of One. If it is truth, from the heart, I know He is pleased. And yes, even if it’s not perfect!

    I didn’t know that you were writing fiction — such a challenge!
    Lately, I”ve been thinking that some of the books God has used most in my life have been fiction, which is surprising, because for the past couple of years, I’ve read mostly non-fiction.

    Reply
    • Patti says

      November 14, 2017 at 12:52 pm

      Oh Michele, it definitely is a challenge. I think the greatest challenge I’m having is that I want it to make a difference in people’s lives, and it always seems like REAL stories have more power than fiction. Everything I attempt to write about is, of course, based upon personal experience, so I hope that comes through the writing.

    Hi Patti,
    I’m your neighbor at Holley’s today and I just love this post! Yes, writing is so hard but you’re so right that when we write (even just in our journals) God meets us there. That’s the beauty of this journey, isn’t it? And Patti, your writing is beautiful here so I’m pretty sure you’re being a little hard on yourself and I can’t wait to read whatever work of fiction is being birthed in you! Sending love to you! xoxo

    My prayer journals are the same way, Pam. God encourages me page after page, prayer after prayer. And I can so relate to your writing struggle. I’ve been convicted time after time by God that He has called me to be faithful not successful. Of course, if I am faithful I will be successful in the way He defines success. Often His view and mine do not jive!! And that’s when I get in trouble! ha! Keep on persevering, my friend! There is so much more God is doing in and through you than you’ll ever realize!

    Patti, I love your encouraging post and your heart is beautiful! I understand that struggle with writing. It’s really difficult for me. I often get frustrated because I’m a homeschool mom and I’m needed “all day long.” I need silence to write. Long spaces of silence. Yet I don’t really get that. But God is good, and what I do is for Him not me. Thank you for sharing this and keep writing!

I loved all of the ways that God has ministered to your heart this week, but I especially love Thursday’s quote! I am tired of only chasing the things that I know will be a success. I want to follow God’s big plan for me and watch His divine intervention. Thank you for sharing your heart!

    One thing I’ve learned is “writers write”! We can’t NOT write without feeling as if we’ll explode. I remember a writing instructor years ago saying we should all write this and tape it to our computers (I think it was typewriters then :-/ ): “Others may write better than me, but I write!” Her point was you can have all the great words or characters in your head, but if you don’t actually sit down and write, no one will ever be blessed by them. And it’s only in the actual writing that we grow as writers. Have a great Thanksgiving!

      Dear Patricia, thank you for sharing with me that you were encouraged by my post. That means the world to me as the whole goal behind writing is for God to touch people with my thoughts put to paper – or computer screen:) You are absolutely right in saying that nothing is impossible with God. I don’t know what your circumstances are but I know that He cares about every detail and longs to be your comfort and strength. Praying that the light on the other side of the situation(s) is evident to you today.

Welcome! I am Perfectly Imperfect Patti and I’d like to invite you to come in and take a seat in this creative space of mine.

I love the process of hunting for orphaned and cast off furniture (particularly my Chosen Chairs) and then taking the time to transform each piece into something new and beautiful. This process allows me to reflect upon my own story of transformation and blesses me over and over with each piece I redesign.

“In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and “In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was asked to create a Christmas special for CBS featuring the Peanuts Characters. He agreed with one requirement, that they allow him to include the story of the birth of Jesus. Although the stations executives were hesitant and tried to convince him otherwise, Schulz was insistent. As a result, for the past 50 plus years, millions of people have watched “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and heard the story of Jesus and “what Christmas is all about.”

It wasn’t until a few years back that I realized a “hidden message” in the film. Linus, a child who seems to have some insecurities as he carries a security blanket with him at all times. In fact, Linus NEVER drops his blanket, except once....

While sharing the message of “what Christmas is all about,” Linus drops his blanket at the exact moment he says the words, “fear not!”

In this seemingly innocent moment, Linus delivers a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. We are to “fear not”, for Jesus is born. We needn’t rely on material things for security, we have God with us, “Immanuel”, (Matthew 1:23) Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior - the true meaning of Christmas.

Awhile back, someone informed me, indignantly so, that Linus picks up his blanket at the end of the speech so my interpretation must be wrong. Well, he was right, Linus does pick up his blanket at the end of his speech. However, he “drops” it again later... 

Amid big, bright, colorful, shiny artificial trees, Charlie Brown chose the least of these, a little, wooden tree with just a few branches. Shortly thereafter, Linus uses his blanket to wrap about the base of the tree and says, “Maybe it just needs a little love”. In that moment, the tree “awakens”, stands tall and firm. A reminder that no matter who we are, how many mistakes we’ve made, a “little love” can make all the difference.

Let’s strive to “fear not” (Luke 2:10) and “love one another” (John 13:34), not just at Christmastime, but the whole year through.”
