Thank you for your sincere thoughts. They...Amanda,<br /><br />Thank you for your sincere thoughts. They mean a lot to me. So sorry to have been so long in replying! I wanted to take time and actually reply, and have been too busy to do so for a while.<br /><br />I am blessed to know that my family has blessed and inspired you, and your thoughts about writers and artists ring true in my heart. I feel that artistry and creativity are gifts, an ability to share that enables us to touch and inspire the world around us. As difficult as turmoil is, if we manage to come out on the other side, we come out stronger, with more to give. That is nothing to take lightly. It's a big responsibility! Thanks for reminding me of that. :)<br /><br />Blessings in return. :)<br />EmmaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328158228135690147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345505084385790725.post-59854381912187965832014-11-16T12:51:22.332-08:002014-11-16T12:51:22.332-08:00Lovely, and true.

I remember about 6 years ago finding ...Hello Emma,<br /><br />I remember about 6 years ago finding your creative projects online after seeing your SAICFF movie listed on the festival website. I found your writing and music videos to be such a source of inspiration and couldn't wait for a camaraderie of family and friends who wanted to do the same with me.<br /><br />After all this time, GOD has finally granted me that desire of my heart, but it has not been without lots of unpredictable emotional grief due to various issues all happening at once. But my experience pales in comparison to what you have been enduring. My mother lost her mother to a brain tumor at the age of 16, and her younger brother committed suicide when I was 5 years old, so I know a little about such tragedy.<br /><br />It occurred to me, once...the great struggles that the LORD let His prophets and apostles endure for the sake of communicating His messages. It doesn't seem to be an uncommon experience among the creatively gifted too. I feel that He allows writers - and all artists, really - in particular to live through turmoil for the sake of comprehending truths that we are uniquely equipped to communicate. That might be a broad generalization, but a concept I have found encouraging.<br /><br />Blessings on all you do!<br /><br />~ Amanda<br />www.amandaread.comAmanda Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528452702318812532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345505084385790725.post-61624773844951350222014-08-22T19:25:42.616-07:002014-08-22T19:25:42.616-07:00these are the words of my heart, too. these are the words of my heart, too. jacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836664392761846963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345505084385790725.post-16184221416912968722014-08-21T06:59:34.006-07:002014-08-21T06:59:34.006-07:00Simple.
