The Writer's Digest Challenge: Write the word "To" and make a title of a poem-and then write it.

"To serve or not to serve" I am going to change the title to

Who do I Serve?

I am so busy
most of the time.
My life
has filled my clock
flowing over into tomorrow
like water seeping
under doors and filling
the room beyond.

Who am I serving
in my quest to fill
My day
and My night
and the breaths of moments
in between?
God has little access
to My calendar of days.

Who am I serving
with this constant
activity?
I am fulfilling
MY Need to be busy
for the kingdom-
Not God's desire
for my knees bent in silence.

Trusting God with my future, my dreams, my hopes, and desires. So far He has done a pretty amazing job. We have a beautiful, healthy grandaughter, i have a wonderful job as a high school counselor and an adjunct professor at a community college. My husband is perfect part of the time and bearable :) the rest of the time. I love life and my incredible friends and family. it is an abundant life. I would, however like to realize my dream of being a Christian women's speaker and write the several books I have in my heart. I'm trusting that if those desires are His for my life, he will make a way. if they do not come to fruition, I pray God will be glorified in the things I am doing now.

What to Write?

Well, a dilemma exists. i want to be a writer. I was encouraged to write a blog. I now find out that if i publish what i write on the blog, I can not publish it anywhere else. Hmmm. . .Catch 22 come to mind? So, I will no longer post Kitty escapades here as I really want to get the Kitty devotional published in my lifetime-you might say it is number 1 on my bucketlist. Well, maybe 2, retirement has to be number 1. So-what to write-that is the question. I feel like Julie in Julie and Julia except I really don't want to steam a lobster or attempt aspic. i could write about my granddaughter, Ava, but my son would have a problem with me posting info about his daughter on the web-he works in a nameless city in Internet security so he is ultra sensitive and ultra private. I could write about my deaf, blind dog, Sadie who is the sweetest dog ever-but she couldn't hear or see it so it wouldn't bless her so what would be the point. A writer with nothing to write. that is very sad. Any suggestions?
