In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty . . . (Genesis 1:1-2 NIV).
A blank piece of paper or empty computer screen can intimidate authors and writers’ conference directors, especially when our thoughts are scattered. Where do we start? And how do we silence the self-doubts that can cause us to do anything but the task at hand?
Getting started is always the hardest part – yes? But then it’s not easy to carry something through the completion either. If I depended on my own strength, it wouldn’t happen. I praise God for His promise that now we have “every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing his will” (1 Cor. 1:7 TLB).
The brochure for the May 16-19 Colorado Christian Writers Conference is at the printer and should be in your hands in less than two weeks if you’re on our mailing list. Thank You, Father! The brochure is also posted online – click here. With Father’s help secure online registration opened yesterday, February 1, just before midnight. There’s still lots to add to the website, and the Expression Web learning curve continues to be a challenge – a BIG challenge when I need to go into the HTML code that I said I never want to use. Someone has said, “never say never.”
The first five to register will receive a free copy of my book, Write His Answer – A Bible Study for Christian Writers. If you prefer not to register online, the brochure is posted at www.writehisanswer.com/Colorado. Send me an email to let me know you’re mailing your registration on Wednesday, February 2, and you may be one of the five to receive a copy of Write His Answer.
Father, thank You in advance for all You’re going to do through this year’s conference. Thank You for the faculty You’ve provided and their willingness to take time to join us on the mountain. Thank You for the special friendships that will be formed and most of all for how I KNOW You will speak to each one of us.
