Journeying, storytelling, and light are three themes that I have found recurring unintentionally throughout my writing over the years.
I'm not sure why the idea of a journey - travel - appeals to me. Growing up at the edge of a small town I remember daydreaming about where I could go if I followed the road out of town and just kept walking. It is, I think, a sense of wonder; possibility; the unknown waiting to be found. All kinds of things can happen when you go somewhere unknown to you. In fiction it is the possibility that the unknown is limited only by our imagination - where we think of to go is creative and unbounded. In the walk of faith it is caught up in verses like where Jesus says, "I have come that they may have life more abundantly or "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can conceive what God has prepared for those who love Him." Fantastic! He has a plan and a purpose for us (Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 139). How exciting! A personalized adventure from the One who knows us better than we know ourselves! Talk about a journey!
