How did I get here?

I've always enjoyed writing as an outlet for emotional expression but little did I know God would have a plan to use it for his glory. For the past five or six years I've received multiple words from the Lord about the books he has called me to write. Repeatedly over the years I've heard the same report. "You're supposed to write, Brandy". "God has deposited his books in you and you've got to write." One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 45:1 You'll notice it is used in the heading of this website. It was one of the very first scriptures that the Lord highlighted in my spirit and I have never been able to shake the instant reaction of life it sparks in my spirit. Neither have I been able to curb the urge to write.

I know that I have a gift to prophetically scribe, this is where the words flow out on to the paper whether you are printing by hand or typing on a keyboard, the presence of God invades you and off you go flowing in literary work. I am called to author his books. For years, like I mentioned I've been told that I'd write for the Lord but getting started was challenge in itself.

I've had every excuse in the book, "I will write when the Lord tells me to.", "I don't know what to write.", "What if it isn't any good?", "People don't care what I have to say." You catch the drift. Fear and Excuse had me stuck, refusing to put feet to my faith and get out of the boat of complacency. If you have any experience with the Lord, I'm sure you'll agree that the Lord usually gets what the Lord wants from us. He has a way of wrestling with our hearts until we submit in love.

This is exactly what happened. One morning while praying I cupped my hands in front of me and by faith I put every excuse, every apprehension, every doubt, every negative thought, and all of my fears in front of me in my hands and I gave it to the Father. And I told him that I was just going to start. I didn't care what I wrote but by faith I was going to write and trust him to flow. This is how I got here. I created this website with the intention to do that very thing.

It's not enough to get a word from the Lord about your life. You must agree and put your action where your faith is. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. Without faith it is impossible to please God. This is the manifestation of my getting out of the boat of complacency to step out on to the waves of faith and write.
