Word Chicks

Are you a Christian woman who communicates through the written or spoken word? Then you, my friend, are a Word Chick, and I want to pray for you. Let me explain.

Recently I felt the Lord tell me to sow seeds of prayer for my sisters in Christ who are writers and speakers. So I began praying for a fellow blogger friend who is a writer. A few weeks later, I prayed for someone else. Then God put yet another woman on my heart for prayer. Are you sensing a trend here?

You see, I'm believing God for big things for not only myself, but for you. By big things I mean more published articles, more speaking engagements, even books accepted for publication. And why not dream big? I believe we should attempt great things for God, and expect great things from God. John 15:8 says, "When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father in heaven is glorified; and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Me."

In addition, praying for other women writers and speakers enables me to stand against the ugly temptation of feeling competitive (just keeping it real here). As I resist that temptation, I purpose in my heart to bless my sister through prayer, and ask God help her succeed. The truth is, when any one of us succeeds, we are advancing God's kingdom. And that, my friends, is what our writing and speaking is ultimately all about.

Initially when I stepped out I felt reluctant to ask the Lord for success. But at a writer's conference, Jim Watkins explained that without "ME" there is no MEssage. We each have messages that can reach specific people, and unless God grants us success in the arenas of publishing and speaking engagements, people won't hear the message. I'm not implying that we will all write best-selling novels. Our spheres of influence vary. But whether we teach a community Bible study or have a TV talk show, the point is to fulfill our callings and destinies in Christ.

Could your writing and speaking pursuit use reinforcement? It would be my privilege to pray for you! To become an honorary Word Chick and receive specific prayer for your writing and/or speaking, please e-mail me at: grammyblogspot7@yahoo.com . Every Word Chick is encouraged to pray as well, though it is not required. I am committed to praying for fellow Word Chicks' success, and will send out occasional newsletter as the Lord leads me.

"The Lord gives the word of power; the women who bear and publish the new are a great host." Psalm 68:11
