As a Christian Suspense author, I write a lot about characters who don’t always make the good decisions in their lives. All it takes is one wrong turn and they find themselves in a lot of danger. Thankfully, with God’s guidance, I can get them back on track and give them a happy ending despite their mistakes.

In real life it isn’t always so easy. Making a wrong turn can derail us and get us off track with God’s path for our lives.

But praise God, He has a way of pulling us off the wrong path and getting us back on track. It takes praying and listening for His answer.  

Have you ever wondered if you’re on the right path and if what you’re doing aligns with what God wants you to be doing?

I think we all do at times. It’s easy to believe something we’re passionate about is what God has in mind for us to do to serve Him.  

I know when I first started writing, I thought my path was to write mainstream suspense novels. Yet at every turn, I found my writing met with the ugly roadblock of rejection.

Then, I finally got it. God wanted me to use His talents to write Christian books. When I surrendered to His will, amazing things happened.

Seeking God’s will above our own desires isn’t always what we want, but if we let Him take control, He will use our talents to glorify His name in ways we could never have imagined.
