Life is different and the writing is different. I cannot stay on the same page of the past and Kristy made it clear that I shouldn't. She pushed me and pointed me into the new direction my life would take and that includes the writing of her blog and now the new blog that I have.
My voice in writing is different. I can write in the whimsy romantic way that she did but not in the exact manner. Kristy had her voice and it was cute and light and bubbly and oozing love and funny as a hoot and filled with all kind of unique detail and style and.......I could go on for a while.
My voice is manly with direct sentences and without flair or eloquence but pointed in truth and life and desire for the better and also laced with elements of manly romance. Go back and read some of what I have written for months and you will see a similar style found in Kristy's writings. New things are happening in my life that Kristy predicted. It is an amazing journey of new life and new love. I could write more about my new love but that is for another time at a later date.
But now it is time for change and new plans God has ordained. Kristy knew it. My girls were prepared by Kristy for it. God has shown me and I am moving with a new voice and a new love for a new day. It is happening sooner than I could have ever believed, but my Jennifer told me early on that it would happen quickly and that it would be good. Jennifer was right.
Isn't that what God has for all of us. He is ever moving us forward to His plans and purposes so far higher than we know and can comprehend.
I have a new voice. It is different, but it is a voice God has given me.
I love reading your new blog -- it IS different than Kristy's, to be sure, but that is how it should be. Kristy's blog was usually the first website I opened in the morning, and now it is yours.
ReplyDeleteI think we would all love to hear more about Wanda and anything else going on in your life. From what I have learned of Kristy from her blog and from you and Jennifer, it seems clear that she would not want you lingering in the past -- that the best way to honor her memory is to move forward.
Keep it up :)
All best,
Heather
Milton,
ReplyDeleteI know that God put writing in both your and Kristy's heart. You both added balance & some pizzazz to each others writing, making them universal for Men & woman. Kristy is now in heaven writing....
In my opion, you are doing a great job solo. I don't think anyone that has said anything about your writing style meant any harm. It is just really different, but in a good way. I think that we still all miss our "Greetings from Sunny Florida". Some of us have not received the blessings from God to move ahead, but that is because it is not ours to have. So, we are the "Slowsky's" in time it will come.
Keep on writing and blessing others as God intended you to do.
With much love & respect.
