Writer's Journey: Freelance Writing

Perhaps you have been writing for a long time. And you enjoy it tremendously.

Over the months, your writing has gone far beyond what you expected and dreamed of. You've developed your niche in your own writing style. A niche that you're so good at, and your many readers and friends know and see it too.

But how did you get better and better at WRITING?

Or you've only been tinkering and testing the waters with your writing at the onset of your discovery, "Hey,I do have a 'gift' of writing! Later, you realize, "I've got to set a goal with my writing. Or,"I've got to do something about my writing and get published. Or perhaps, earn.

Until you've built up your confidence, you've joined up with several writers' groups and began writing for publication. You enjoy writing so much that you thought you could do some freelance writing jobs.

With diligence and sheer joy with your "word-working", like what you've always been doing and believed--your exciting adventure with your writing career will surely go a long way.

Keep it up!

Home Schooling Adventures

Concerned about your child's education? If they've been in any institutionalized school, are you at peace with what they are being taught? What about the Biblical values you, as a parent, have been teaching and helping your child to embrace, and then lead your child to love God with all his heart, soul, mind and strength? Is the traditional school supporting you in your parenting endeavors?

Well, I've had this conviction 12 years ago. My dear loving husband supported me in my conviction to take full responsibility in teaching, and educating my children in the "ways they should go" (Proverbs 22:6).

After reading up some articles about homeschooling, asking parents who homeschool and wannabe homeschoolers, our confidence built up to full surrender to the call of God to home-educate our own children (three girls at the time).

As soon as Reuel said yes, and after much prayer and counsel from His Word, together, we bravely committed to do it.

In 1996, our homeschooling journey took on with excitement, adventure, and blessings.

We now have seven precious children. With humility, I learn everyday with my children in the process of teaching them at the same time.

If you've just pulled out your child from a traditional school, and you do not know where to start, here's a very good way to find help: Pray. Ask God the you need His help, "for without Me, you can do nothing" the Bible says.

Once you've done the first-things-first, then you can begin to seek advice from people who know their craft, God-given gift as a parent, and most importantly their commitment to their children by homeschooling them; and building your home in a loving, caring, gentle, disciplined atmosphere of homeschooling.

With prayer, confidence and willingness--you can do it.

Writer's Writing Job

You enjoy writing. You love writing.

Words, ideas, stories after stories pour out like waterfalls gushing through that write-brain stream of yours. Your writing has become your essential part of life as breath is to a baby.

You write as easily as a master-hand crafts an intricate basket, weaving strands of words together. And you are always pleased with your craft.

You write in such a way you speak. It comes so natural. And to me, words are God's wonderful gift to mankind.

With your experiences as a writer, have you ever felt:

1. the need for help to becoming a better writer? And be able to do your best you could possibly be as a "word-worker"?

2. the need to join with other writers' groups and help in any way you can hone in your fellow writers' skills as good writers?

3. setting your goals to encouraging others in their expertise in their craft of writing? What really motivates you in your unique niche as a writer? Inspiration and a lot of reading worthwhile books set you in the right direction.

4. that you do want to work hard, be better skilled and earn money? That's not too bad.

You've built up your confidence over a short time. While some are still finding their way to coming out of their shell. We need good writers like you to influence for the good--honoring God.
