This week, the series
continues another member from my Word Weavers critique group (click here for more info on my group), David Brannock.
About MultiColor Monday: As
most of you know, all writers need regular inspiration. On the 1st and
3rd Monday of every month, I’ll share information about people
who inspire me by their writing and their lives. The series is called
Multi-Color Monday to reflect the beauty and diversity of God’s children. My
hope is that you, too, will be blessed and inspired by those you meet here.
About David:
David is a pastor at heart,
actor by hobby, and a gifted writer and blogger. From his blog’s “meet David”
summary:
“I was born on the coast
but choose to live in the mountains. I can speak to preachers and congregants
alike since I have walked many miles in both worlds. As a lay member of a
non-denominational church, I enjoy following Jesus where I can help make
disciple makers.”
Check out his blog at Set Free to Soar, where you’ll find weekly messages to encourage and challenge you.
How David
inspires me:
David is faithful –
faithful to write every week, faithful to seek God in everything, faithful to
do all God asks of Him to the best of his ability, faithful to “do the next
thing” when God seems silent. When he struggles, he turns to God and honestly
pours out his heart. David is not afraid to ask God the tough questions, or to
ask for help when he needs it. He also gives honest feedback when asked for
his opinion. I am blessed by his friendship.
Prayer
for David:
Lord, bless David with deeper
revelation of your amazing and endless love for him. Give him a vision of You
smiling down on him, pleased with his life dedicated to your glory. Show David
more of your perspective on his life – how you see the fruits of all his labor.
Bless his quiet time with you, his marriage, his writing career, and all the
works of his hands. Give him wisdom for every choice he makes, and keep him on
the path of your perfect will.
My
“favorite” David post:
Speakers Block: When GodMust Fill Your Mouth. This
post is about confidence in Christ to provide the words you need. When you ask
in humble dependence on Him, He shows up. From the post:
“I prayed, ‘Lord, fill
my mouth. You’re my only hope.’ Then I
began to speak.
To this day I have no idea
what I said. Or rather, what God said through me. My mind stayed in neutral
while the Spirit used my voice to deliver His message.”
I’ve experienced this in my
own life, and yet I often forget God’s promise...and my dependence. This post is an excellent and timely
reminder for me.
