Your name is written in the book my dear! I just finished reading "The Devine Revolation of Heaven" awesome book! It talks about those that do good deeds in the name of Jesus. Have you read that? You are one of the people they speak of in that book! I am trying to get there myself!!<br>LeniseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893677055178947530.post-49860924225937968832005-10-12T20:51:00.000-07:002005-10-12T20:51:00.000-07:00Wow...that's a great answer.

I think it's a blessing that you see it as a call. I sort of see it that way too, but just didn't say it clearly. I believe God gifted me to write and communicate and participate with others. It's really a cool gift.

At first, I was writing feeling alone, but when I started to get comments and started to get to know some of the other journal writers, I now feel I have somebody to tell what's going on with me. It is just so different with my own family and with other people. Yes, I can say I write for the community and for me as well :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893677055178947530.post-70039977180562537122005-10-13T04:29:00.000-07:002005-10-13T04:29:00.000-07:00I do think that you are called to write.

I also think you are an encourager as I've read the comments you have left in other people's journals so again you are using a gift from the Lord.<br><br>bettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893677055178947530.post-42379741724144812282005-10-13T06:41:00.000-07:002005-10-13T06:41:00.000-07:00I write because I have always had a feel for it, I...I write because I have always had a feel for it, I think I have a way with words and because I like to reach out to other people, like to make them laugh, think, feel etc. I write to others and not for myself.
