When I was told in class that we were going to be writing short stories, I was SO excited! I love just being able to sit down and write and be creative. Now, I'm no Poe or Bronte, but I definitely love using what creative skills I have to write stories.
I really like the idea of being able to create something that isn't real in this life. This is a world that I am creating myself. I can create my own characters. I can make places and peoples and things that don't really exist.
Or perhaps they do..
Maybe all if it is just a figment of this real life. A continuation of this life into the story world. These characters I created could actually be people I know. It could be real thoughts that I am feeling.
BUT I CAN CREATE IT ALL. Isn't that awesome?
It makes me really think about how God must feel. He created us! All of us! Every detail of ourselves. Our hair, our eyes, our parents, where we go to school, how bad of vision we have, whether we are right handed or left handed ALL OF IT. And he did this for EVERY person on the planet.
If you thought that it was difficult for you to develop a character, think about how God must feel creating 4 billion people!! I know that I had difficulty sometimes just writing down how my character looked. But God creates not just our outer image, but everything internally about us as well!
It must have been so much fun for Him. It still is a fun thing for Him to do, I'm sure. Creating us. Watching us grow. I wish I could plant my characters into real life and see how they would play out after I "gave them their beginning."
I wonder if they would remember me...

I love how you got something spiritual out of something that people would not see as necessarily spiritual. But that's what it's all about. Living out Christ in all aspects of our life, including our writing. It helps us appreciate what God has created! Insightful post. I really enjoyed reading it :)
