AUTHOR GUEST POST

Writing as a Ministry

 

Hello friends! I am so happy to be here with you! My 16^th book with Love Inspired Suspense hit the shelves on May 24^th. My husband and I made a special trip to Wal-Mart to see it. It never gets old. I’m still amazed that I get to share these stories with readers.

I also feel blessed to share my faith.

Let me back up a bit. When I first thought about writing for publication, I was only about 11 years old. At that time, I was more interested in the “glamor” of writing than the spiritual aspect of it. Any authors reading this are no doubt laughing. Writing is not as glamorous as people believe it is.

Anyway, as I grew older, I became more realistic. Writing a full book was harder than I’d expected. I never seemed to have time to write more than a scene or two before I’d become distracted.  Plus, unless I went into journalism, there’d be no money until I sold something. I had no interest in writing non-fiction. I wanted to write romance, but didn’t appear to have the ability, so I let the idea go.

Fast forward a few years. In college, God introduced me to my best friend, Amy. He had a plan. Amy had a strong, vibrant faith. She was so in love with Jesus. I wanted what she had. For the first time in my life, I had a relationship with God that went beyond talking to him only when I wanted something. Amy and I are still friends today. In fact, we married best friends, and live only a few miles apart in Pennsylvania. Our kids have grown up together, and we have attended the same church since 1996. God is amazing, isn’t He?

But His plan didn’t end there. When my oldest child entered high school, my desire to write returned. But this time, it was different. I had discovered Christian fiction. This time, I knew I had to write to please God, and not only myself. Slowly, he changed my desire to write romance into a desire to touch hearts.

In 2014, I received my first writing contract. I knew I hadn’t done it by my own merit. He had given me a gift and put me where He wanted to. And I was so grateful. I also realized He’d given me more than a career. He’d given me a ministry. Readers would be touched by what I wrote. I promised I’d never write anything that I wouldn’t show my mother or my daughter, or that would offend Him. I also realized that writing faith-based fiction was a delicate art. Readers, myself included, wanted to read about faith lived organically. I didn’t want to preach to my readers. I wanted to show in my writing how Christians lived out their faith naturally. I also wanted to my writing to how God was stronger than any of life’s trials. That theme is a thread through most of my books.

I’m excited and humbled by His grace. I know His plan for me may change as life continues. My prayer is to always faithfully follow His call.

Blessings!

Dana
