When God Is Your Writing Guide: Trusting Him With Your Creative Journey
by Ginny Cruz, MPA, PT
Have you ever assumed a role in life where you longed for a guide to show you the way? When I became a mother to my first child, that’s how I felt. Questions came to mind, such as, “What should I be doing with my baby all day?” “What toys or activities are best?” I longed for guidance. Those feelings of lostness fueled the passion for my latest book, The New Mom’s Guide: Help and Hope for Baby’s First Year. It’s my gift to new mothers who also long for advice. In it are the answers to many common questions, background information on their child’s development, and encouragement, which all moms crave.
When God called me to write, I also longed for a guide to show me the way forward. Unfortunately, there was no guidebook to direct my next steps. The only choice, it seemed, was to be like Abraham when God told him to pack up everything, leave home, and trust that God would show him the way.
