I am a Hope*Writer. I joined Hope Writers in January of 2021 and it has been one of the greatest supports in my journey of becoming a writer. I would one day love to be able to make a living with my words, and if I want to reach that goal, then I need to surround myself with people going in the same direction. This is what Hope*Writers has done for me.
In this community fo writers, I have received amazing teachings, and gotten more book recommendations then I can count. I am surrounding myself with the culture of publishing and learning all the things necessary to be successful in my writing. I have noticed I am now treating my writing time, like I would anything important to me, it goes on the schedule and it is not an appointment to be missed. It is a job, and I need to treat it as one.
Hope is my word for 2021, and it was actually given to me before the year began. I also wrote my senior paper on Hope which you can read for yourself here if you are into the nerdy research stuff like me. Hope is all I have to hold on to right now, and guess what, it is enough. I can trust that God is faithful to his promises even if I can't see him working right now. Hope means that I continue to believe and trust that everything is being worked out for my good. Having hope, means I need to share what I hope I have, and how I got it, with those around me. I do this through writing and speaking about the miracles that occur in my daily life and the insights I gain from studying the word of God.
All that to say, Hope*Writers is where I find the support I need, the information to help me on my path, and the amazing encouragement that I am doing important work even when I don't feel like it. I am so thankful and blessed to be part of this community.
If you feel called to write words of hope too, there is room here for you too. Enrollment closes tomorrow so consider joining, and if you do, share my name here.
