I find myself at a cross roads with my current work in progress. When I started this book I was in a different place spiritually, and the original content of the book reflected that. Shortly after I began working on it though, the Lord began to press on my heart with such force that I could no longer deny that I had been denying him. (My heart bleeds so much more for Peter when I think of what he must have felt when he heard the crow of that rooster.) I shifted the story, but it still didn't quite feel right. I have set it aside, only working on it off and on, for almost a year now. I've read with a fierce passion like I haven't felt since I was a teen. I have devoured book after book, and in the process grown as a writer. Now I find the time has come to start writing again, but I face a quandary that leaves me unsure of how to proceed.
I like the story at its roots, and I feel like I could mold it in the direction the Spirit is leading me, but I wonder if it would be better to toss it and start from scratch. I've also wondered at the real root of my hesitation to resume writing.

For now I am reading, praying, and listening.
