 |    We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |

“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .” ― Charles Spurgeon “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.” ― Charles Spurgeon “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
So much to do, so much to think, so much I need a resting place. With days of writing on the brink, I'll need some coffee in my space. A few more hours before we start to write the book of this year's gaze. Experience we would impart to story write in 30 days. For now, I'm resting at the line, that bids me, "Strike a runner's stance." I'll go when the time is duly mine, and leave no whit to whimsied chance. I've prepped, and read it, prepped so more, but now I stop to eat and sleep. Past midnight, then I will explore the life my character's in so deep. The starting line with chalk and dust, now builds intensity to run. We'll find great words to show. We must. In 30 days we'll dance in fun. by Jay O’Toole on October 31st, 2022 |
We've done the work through this past month, preparing for a book to write. It could be said, that Joy is wonth, and fiction's vision's now our sight. How many chapters make this book? How many villains, friends, and scenes? How many times the forlorn look, until my own "Jack" sprouts his beans? Prepared to sweat my hero's days? Prepared to slog depression's mire? Prepared to lead as he obeys? Prepared to finish, though I tire? The days of words will lead me through. The days of grammar, caps, and goals. The days of Joy, and days of blue, while living days in all these roles. Each NaNoWriMo done becomes a future help for those, who read. Each day recording daily sums becomes a meal some heart to feed. Though 50,000 seems a lot when starting book, assaying goal, remember lives are lived as plot. Some steps each day, until it's whole. We do the doings breath by breath, until the task or meal be eat. We live each day, until in death the body's laid, but we're complete. The book is mine should God now give the words to write, the truths to teach. May all, who read in Him now live, that Heaven's Home in Him would reach. (John 3:16; John 6:37; Romans 10:9-10,13; Philippians 2:13) by Jay O’Toole on October 30th, 2022 |
