Write His Answer

Are you facing an elephant?

More than likely your elephant, same as mine, is something you’ve been putting off doing because it’s just seems so big, so beyond your capability, so overwhelming . . .

You’d think after 20 years directing the Colorado Christian Writers Conference and 32 years directing the Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference the task would be easier. Not so!

Each year the task seems more daunting.  And each year I have to remind myself that “God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn; he will never go back on his promises” (Rom. 11:29 TLB).

What has He promised you and me?

That it would be easy to follow Him? No! But He has promised always to be with us.

I’ve learned (but need to keep re-learning) that “when I am weak, then I am strong—the less I have, the more I depend on him” (2 Cor. 12:10 TLB). 

I know that in His strength you and I can eat the elephant a bite at a time!

The faculty and program are in place. The brochure is in print. Lots of new to CCWC people are registering. Thank You, Father!

I’m slowly making progress updating the website that is now mobile-friendly. Sadly HTML is not user-friendly. Can anyone recommend a good book or website? And would you please pray that I can get the photos, bios, and editorial needs/areas of expertise of our 57 agents, authors, and editors online in the next couple of days?

With the April 15 D-Day for opening online regisration looming, I feel like I’m facing not one but two elephants! There are days I fear I’ll be trampled under their weight. But “through your  faithful prayers and the generous response of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, everything he wants to do in and through me will be done” (Phil 1:19 MSG).

Are you facing an elephant today?  “Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!” (Heb. 12:2-3 MSG).
