What Am I?

The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians, “By the grace of God, I am what I am”.

I am a follower of Christ.

I am a husband.

I am a father.

I am loved by multitudes (if you an believe that blurb I wrote about myself for Twitter.)

Jeff Goins recently wrote a book called You Are A Writer.  In it he details how that he became a writer when he declared himself a writer.  He also has challenged a good many people to declare themselves a writer.

I’ve been many things in life.

I’ve been a runner.

I’ve been a banker.

I’ve been a collector.

I’ve been, and still am, a manager.

I’ve told people that I would love to be a writer.  I’ve been writing various blogs for almost four years now.

Never have I called myself a writer.

Now I do.

I am a writer.

Why?

Because I love it.

Because I want to do it.

Because I want to give God glory.

I am a writer.

What are you?

    I think Paul was trying to make a Popeye reference, and it went over everyone’s heads…

    Good post, Larry. You’re definitely a writer- a solid one.

        These are theological questions to lengthy for the comment forum to contain.

        Oh, there’s some theology there…I just don’t like what it tells me.

    Great words from Paul.

    I’m a Christian, husband, father, writer, leader and…

    I think the key is to start speaking it out.
