Story Rising

"And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going..." (Acts 20:22)

I haven't finished next year's children's book, yet I feel another story rising: Unity Brown (my grandmother's great-grandmother's story).

It's certainly not earthly success that drives me, because there is little.  It's a compelling heavenly Voice, the Holy Spirit of God—the One who says, "Do not merely listen to My words. Do what I say."

What drives you, beloved? "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a Voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it!" (Isaiah 30:21)
