New Beginnings

Wow, what a weekend! Saturday I went to the North Texas Christian Writers' Association Annual Convention. I was expecting to be encouraged to keep writing, but I never expected to be challenged  spiritually. I don't know why I didn't expect it because I always am when I get together with this group of people. The main thing I always leave with is that if God called me to put something down on paper, then I am a writer. Even if I never publish anything, I am a writer.

The biggest message I heard on Saturday was that I need to begin thinking of myself as a writer. I don't think I've really thought that before. And what I've heard God telling me lately is that to change my life, I need to change my mind. More specifically, I need to let God change my mind. I need to think of myself the way He thinks of me. Talk about a paradigm shift.

So, here I am, starting a blog (which was my homework from one of the sessions on Saturday). If you get tired of TV or have a strange hankering to know the inner workings of Debbie West's mind, then tune in from time to time.

I'm not using this blog to try to change the world. I'm hoping in some small way it changes me.

WHGTUTDT? DI!
