I write to glorify God, so I’m quite serious about it. Writing is how I worship Him. So, because I want to glorify God, I want to craft rich, wholesome, and God-reflecting stories. I firmly believe these stories are great. These stories are light in a dark world.
It’s not an immortal legacy I want. I don’t care if high schoolers a hundred years from now read my stories in a literature class or if I gain millions of followers on Instagram. I want to praise my King in the plots I weave and the smallest prepositions I use. If God decides to carry out my stories for centuries or touch only one heart, then let it be done. I want to present my work so God can use it to carry out His perfect will.
I know the great news of the Gospel, why hide it?
Great stories point to Christ, and this world desperately needs great stories.
“Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house.”
Matthew 5:15
