Tips for Writing Your Own Stor.



Tips for Writing Your story
Always remember the things you’ve seen God do for you, and be sure to tell your children and grandchildren! Deuteronomy 4:9

Has your faith changed since childhood?
What events brought crisis, conflict, courage, compassion.
Do you see, love or life inside the mystery of faith differently?
Are you now more aware of.....
Where now do you find sources for hope and courage ?
Do you find evidence of grace, beauty, mystery among the ordinary?
Most people, truth be told, research shows, have had some experience of unexpected grace, or a mystical experience, however brief. Was this for you at a particular time?
Has your own personal ups and downs made you more resilient?
Where and how do you find "grace" today?
Has person pain given you more empathy?
Where now are you risking yourself, your heart?

Remember the key to good writing is to write much and edit, edit, edit.
Setting out to write your own spiritual memoir is, itself, a spiritual adventure into your own labyrinth. –Paschal Baute
