Writing Like Me

When I was a kid I wanted to write like Judy Blume.
As a teenager, I wanted to write like R.L Stine and then like Stephen King.
In my twenties, I wanted to write a Caldecott Award Winner.
In my thirties, I wanted to write books for First Readers.
In my forties, I wanted to write like Lisa Terkeurst.
Isn’t it funny that the first thing I ever published was an article on a hotel renovation for a travel magazine? That was followed by being published in devotionals. Neither did I plan on writing.
As I get ready to turn 50, I look back at this journey and am amazed at His plan for ME.
He has a plan for each of us and I firmly believe that His hand is at work in what I am writing today.
So, tonight, I want to write like ME.
