I am an aspiring author. I have always wanted to write a book.
I have been blogging for almost ten years now but hiding behind my pen name. I am writing behind shadows. But my writing skills is fiercely shaking me, as if trying to wake me up from slumber.
It's as if my inner soul is leading my hands to write, write and write.
So I enrolled in a book writing course and just last Saturday, I again attended a book writing camp sponsored by Kereygma Publishing Inc.
Despite the weather, the flooding and the long travel to Manila, I was able to attend the seminar. It was just one day seminar. Together with more than one hundred participants, we sat there and listened to three respected authors form the publishing company.
We were enjoined to participate in a workshop. We had lots of fun and we found new friends as well.
There were book for sale and had the opportunity to have our books autograph by Shepherd's Voice Authors.
Sunday came and my feet brought me to Philippines International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay where a mass is celebrated by Fr. Alex Balatbat. It was followed by Bo Sanchez who talked about the Book of Matthew, one of the Gospels in the Bible.
It was my second time to attend the Feast at the Bay area.
What topped my weekend in Manila was the song that hit my core. The song is entitled "Beautiful Story".
God made sure I made it through the traffic and bad weather in Manila. Then He brought me to the Feast just to give me one clear message.
I will write a book because I have a very good story.
Below is the lyrics of the song. The chorus kept ringing in my ears, telling me: You write a beautiful story.
In the morning, I will have to write additional chapters to what I have already started.
Enjoy the lyrics.
BEAUTIFUL STORY
I would've lost heart had I not believed
You know all the plans You have for me
I would've lost heart had I not resolved
There is no good thing that You withhold
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
From glory to glory I believe
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
Beginning to ending and in between
I would've let go had You not reached out
And silenced all my doubt with hope
You pull me close and tell my heart to rest
Cause You know what is best, yes
And You're not done yet
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
From glory to glory I believe
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
Beginning to ending and in between
All the while You keep saying
Trust that I am orchestrating
Everything for good
All the while You keep saying
Trust that I am custom making
Everything for good
You work all things together for good
All things together for good
All things together for good
Like You said You would
You work all things together for good
All things together for good
All things together for good
Like You said You would
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
From glory to glory I believe
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
Beginning to ending and in between
You work all things together for good
All things together for good
All things together for good
Like You said You would
You work all things together for good
All things together for good
All things together for good
Like You said You would
All the while You keep saying
Trust that I am orchestrating
Everything for good
All the while You keep saying
Trust that I am custom making
Everything for good
All the while You keep saying
Trust that I am orchestrating
Everything for good
All the while You keep saying
Trust that I am custom making
Everything for good
You work all things together for good
All things together for good
All things together for good
Like You said You would
You work all things together for good
All things together for good
All things together for good
Like You said You would
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
From glory to glory I believe
You write a beautiful story
You write a beautiful story
Beginning to ending and in between
