A few months ago I joined a writers critique group. The leaders, Scoti and Beth, are published authors and awesome ladies. They share their time and expertise and help us become better writers.
At the last critique meeting, Beth mentioned finding a Scripture verse or inspirational quote as a daily reminder of my passion for writing. I actually have a song that describes my heart perfectly. I heard it one night after a Springs Writers meeting and cried all the way home.
"Here I am, Lord send me."
Isaiah 6:8
Sometimes Your calling, comes in dreams
Sometimes it comes in the Spirit's breeze
You reach for the deepest hope in me
And call out for the things of eternity
But I'm a man, of dust and stains,
You move in me, so I can say
Chorus
Here I am, Lord send me
All of my life, I make an offering,
Here I am, Lord send me
Somehow my story is a part of Your plan,
Here I am
When setbacks and failures, and upset plans
Test my faith and leave me with empty hands
Are You not the closest when it's hardest to stand
I know that You will finish what You began
And these broken parts You will redeem
Become the song that I can sing
Chorus
Here I am, Lord send me
All of my life, I make an offering,
Here I am, Lord send me
Somehow my story is a part of Your plan,
Here I am
Overwhelmed by the thought of my weakness
And the fear that I'll fail You in the end
In this mess, I'm just one of the pieces,
I can't put this together but You can
Chorus
Here I am, Lord send me
All of my life, I make an offering,
Here I am, Lord send me
Somehow my story is a part of Your plan,
Here I am
Here I Am, all my life an offering to You, to You
Somehow my story is a part of Your plan
Here I am
