For a calling to be God-sized, it simply has to be a vision that depends on God’s power and resources to succeed.” ~ Kevin Brennfleck, Live Your Calling
More than once, I’ve felt the pressure to write beyond my ability. More than once, I’ve compared my skills to others and trembled. But then I realize our callings are all different. I gain nothing by comparing myself to others except a headache. God only holds me accountable for the gifts and opportunities He’s given me. Never once has He abandoned me in the task.
To answer a God-sized calling, we trust this amazing grace to guide and undergird all that we do. What God lays on my heart, He plans to accomplish through me if I will but trust His enablement.
It’s all grace and His good timing.

Victoria, the greatest fun in my life is writing. I have had those moments when a task of writing became a burden and robbed me of the joy and excitement I have when I sit down to type. It’s usually when I think I have to say something…when I must make a point or produce some profound thought, that I find myself chasing my own muse throughout the meadows of life. It’s like we are playing tag, and I am always “it”. Only with God, in complete surrender to His Spirit, do I find the peace and contentment sitting in my lap as I write. Thanks for pulling this out of me with your thoughts. selahV

Oh you really should write a devotional for writers! Your words are always so beautiful and true, resonating deep within my soul, and inspiring me to take greater steps than I’d ever imagined.
Love to you,
