Now that I know “Ode to FaithWriters and their followers” Part II

Now that I know that I have an audience out there
I’ll make sure I check my spelling
How do I know I have a captive audience?
Ah now, that would be telling…
Do I know everything?
Probably not,
But I know enough as Child of God
To have a little laugh and a bit of fun
Did you know there is laughter in Heaven?
Yes, you CAN have ‘fun in the SON’
God really does have a sense of humour you know
He’ll use the foolish thing’s to confound the wise
It’s really quite amazing, how does He do it?
Well for starters,
He’ll use things that others despise.

Now that I know that our ‘faith writers’ community
Is scrutinized as if it were ‘for real’
I won’t post my initial thoughts in a rush
Now that I know my works a real steal!!!
I won’t bother to worry about feedback from my peers,
I’ll proof it always and always check my spelling!
As it seems the audience likes only to look
I guess in our busy world, who has the time?
Goodness, I must start thinking like a published book!
That’s ok, I can see with that,
All comments are welcome from the writing police
I really don’t like my work rubbished though
A genius does not liked to be fleeced
Now I know for sure
I will up the standard
And expect a publisher’s interest to be imminent
At least you can see that I have a fab sense of humour
Yet I am also one who is extremely lenient!

I won’t hold a grudge
I am not one who’s bitter
Though I do get tired of horrid lies
But I’m one who is grateful to Jehovah
Because He changed me, that I will not deny!
So I laugh a lot, smile and I like to laugh
You can probably detect this when you read my stuff
Sometimes I can be a little tongue in cheek
It’s all for God’s Glory
Hey, He enjoys personality!


The writers Pen and pad is always on the go
There at least a thousand scripts yet to complete or write
The mind boggles at the vast amount’s of information
Going through the process, I must be creative
It’s a gift, a writer’s right
Isn’t that so?
Isn’t that absolutely right?
But when you read my work
Stop, listen and discern
My readers will always find something to learn
There is often a very serious matter.

Please enjoy my ramblings but not only mine
There are some other great writers here too
So enjoy their offerings
We are a faith community here
Not a special group of academic boffins.
We are part of Gods army
We are His ‘think tank’
Marching on, this is a spiritual war
Victory is ours, triumphant in Christ
Tell me, do you think we are really barmy?

“Thank you God for the many many ways
We can express ourselves in your name”
In our writing, in song, in our food, in design
And in many forms of dancing too
In fashion, and in textiles, in pottery and art
and in absolutely everything we do
In the many different vocations there are in life
In the office, on the job, as a busy housewife
This needn’t be a lonely, bleak and desperate one
I pray thy will, SHALL be done.


Now that I know
I will write just the same
But with a little more knowing…
For Knowledge is Power
And all Power is given to us
When I write I will tread on the serpents head,
There will be not let up or slowing!
I will write, enjoy
But I will write, to destroy
Every lie and deceit from the pit of Hell
Now that I know, I will increase my dedication
Thing’s will not be the same
Now I know, what I know,
I thank God for His mind-boggling revelation
Mysteries unfold
From God we are told
And we take our rightful place as kings in His Kingdom
Joint Heirs, humble, yet ruling
Assured of the believers Kingdom dominion
Welcome to a Christian writers domain
Read Christian writing and one thing is certain
The Word you read is spirit and life,
And make no mistake it will accomplish its mission
Things have to change, by His divine will
They simply cannot remain the same.


Now, where do I find the ‘Faith Singers’ community… "I will bless thee Oh Lord..." Im gonna sing for JESUS now...Hallelujah!
