You learn so much about the world, and about yourself. I'm hoping that, now that my mindset is right, this next book will really help bring me closer to God.

And yes, I do sometimes forget that life is ALL about books-writing-etc. XD. But one of the things that sometimes helps me is reading an allegory now and then - reminding myself of Who my books should be glorifying *nods*. <br /><br />~ Savannah <br />scattered-scribblings.blogspot.comSavannah Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668452024211579085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-51800019019228445582016-10-23T22:20:09.766-05:002016-10-23T22:20:09.766-05:00Ahhhh yes.

I've been doing some more devotionals lately, and am going to start a prayer journal. I have really been thinking about that "this writing is for God," which has made me think a lot about writing in general. Maybe I'll have to write a post about this. Just a lot of thoughts bu tI loooove this post so much. Thank you, lovely Hannah! <3<br /><br />// katie grace<br /><a href="http://awritersfaith.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">a writer's faith</a>Katie Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867517507191129951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-15761208147247790392016-10-23T22:07:34.362-05:002016-10-23T22:07:34.362-05:00Thank you!

And since the beginning of this year, when I figured out that important "how" I see now how just a few minutes a day can really change your life. <3 Hannah Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730224134513484877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-69248680933604575312016-10-23T22:05:53.823-05:002016-10-23T22:05:53.823-05:00Yes, that's a good idea!

I do struggle sometimes to focus on God as well as my writing, but something that helps me combine the two is to pray before my writing sessions, whether it be to help me with my story or about life.

I wasn't sure if it would get taken the wrong way, but I knew I needed to write it. <br /><br />And I find when you do a study that doesn't have much structure, it really does become a joy because you're wanting to dig deeper and learn more about the Christian aspect of the topic, and time really flies!

I didn't *want* to, but I knew I wasn't as close to God as I should have (and could have) been. Things are better now, I'm growing, and...im still writing. :) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!! :) Faith P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12321422384005620538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-19260791514084927862016-10-22T09:28:53.942-05:002016-10-22T09:28:53.942-05:00This was such a great encouragement and reminder. ...This was such a great encouragement and reminder.

It can be very hard to keep sight of God when I'm weighed down by school, NaNo prep, and my social life in general. It can be really hard. But like you said, we should always keep God as a priority and strive to realize that time spent with him shouldn't be a chore - it should be a joy.Emily Drownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072107706844583472noreply@blogger.com
