This month Blissful Writing Thoughts is proud to welcome multi-published fiction author and guest blogger Lisa Harris. She is also graciously offering a giveaway of her book, so stay tuned to find out how to enter! FINDING STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS
In some ways, my heroine in my latest books, Blood Covenant, is a lot like me. In the beginning, Paige feels too small to do what God is calling her to do, which I can certainly relate to at times.
Paul, though, says that it is through our weaknesses that we are made strong because of Christ’s power. I don’t know about you, but those words are pretty incredible to me. And there’s more. At the greatest moment of weakness, according to the world’s point of view, Christ’s death on the cross brought victory, allowing God to enter into a relationship with us through that sacrifice. He loves us that much.
So while you might feel inadequate to follow God’s writing call, never forget that the God who created the universe loves us and wants to be our strength. He can use our stories to help heal the empty and brokenhearted, and those searching for freedom and hope.

Paige Ryan and Nick Gilbert are trapped in an overpopulated African refugee camp where an outbreak of measles erupts and renegade soldiers block their only way out. Desperate for vaccines, they must put their own lives in the hands of God as they fight for the safety of the refugees under their protection. Order

Thanks for a great post. I've been struggling lately with reworking my novel and trying to find the right voice. In the midst of the criticism that was necessary, I felt very weak. But God is turning my weakness into strength. And your post is a great reminder of that. Thanks!
P.S. I'll have to check out your book. My brother and sister-in-law are missionaries in Africa. I'm sure it would shed some light on what it's like there.
