♦ Writing God’s Stories ♦
by Misty M. Beller
For a few years now, I've
been amazed at the love God's instilled in me for writing novels. It's
become my passion, where I can invest my energy and brainpower and every
ounce of the creativity I never thought I had. Something I can work at,
and be constantly learning. A place where I can strive for perfection.
But, through this
process, God has made it abundantly clear to me that the writing is His.
The words—whether they flow onto the page in harmonious magic, or whether I
have to build each one from a desert of nothing.
The
words are His.
What He chooses to do with
them, whether they only plant a seed for one person, or whether they touch
hundreds of lives. The difference these words make is His
difference.
This may seem like a basic
concept in the Christian life, but it continues to completely changing the way
I approach not just writing, but every area of my life. My entire existence is
to be a tool for God's work. That took me a while to wrap my mind around, but I
now approach things with a new perspective.
Everything
I do should point to Him.
We sing a song at church with
the words, "I breathe in grace, I breathe
out praise." And
that's the concept I want to live out. God fills me up with his grace, so that
I can pour out His praise in everything I do.
And as He chooses to bless
this writing in some areas, and close the doors in other areas, it's not my
choice. These are His stories, and He has a master plan to use them in ways I
may never know.
So now, I'd love to hear from you! How has God used you as His
tool? How have you seen Him work in ways you would never have imagined? Here's
your chance to breathe out His praise!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Misty M. Beller writes Christian historical romance and is the author of the bestselling Mountain Dreams Series and the Texas Rancher Trilogy.
She was raised on a farm in South Carolina, so her Southern roots run deep. Growing up, her family was close, and they continue to keep that priority today. Her husband and daughters now add another dimension to her life, keeping her both grounded and crazy.
God has placed a desire in Misty's heart to combine her love for Christian fiction and the simpler ranch life, writing historical novels that display God's abundant love through the twists and turns in the lives of her characters.
Writing is a dream come true for Misty. Her family--both immediate and extended--is the foundation that holds her secure in that dream.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Fighting her own nightmares after the war, Greta Michelly is trying to settle into this rugged mountain land, but her bad memories are nothing compared to the demons that haunt her father. The haven they’ve found in these Rocky Mountains seems to be the solace he needs to find peace—until a mysterious sojourner appears on their cabin doorstep. She can’t help but be drawn to the wild aura that surrounds the man, but that strength seems to be that very thing that intensifies her father’s struggles.
As Zeche is torn between his craving to protect Gretta and the awful realization that he’s the one putting her in more danger, he’s forced to make a difficult choice. But when a run-in with an elk changes his plans and Gretta is faced with a danger Zeche is powerless to control, Zeche has to find a way to protect her at any cost. Even at the cost of his heart.
