Hi, I'm Dawn

🪔[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], are you a beacon of light?

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

It's another fruitful Friday, Reader!

This week, Oil Lamp is retaking the stage. We are unveiling the truth about being a beacon of light to others. Just as growing fruit is less if no one is there to benefit from its sweetness, the light God shines through us should not only light our way but also be a beacon to others.

What does it mean to be light to others?

Being a light or a beacon sounds like a beautiful idea. But what does that mean? Oil Lamp helps us understand how we can shine and continue to be a light in the lives of others. Did you know the Bible tells us the specific characteristics that our light must contain? Ephesians 5:8-10 even describes light as fruit. Check out this week's blog to learn more.

After reading the blog, I hope you'll shine a little brighter and be a beacon to light someone else's path, Reader.

Join me for a Special Writing Webinar.

One way I plan to shine this week is by teaching a writing webinar at Capital Christian Writers Fellowship.

I am going to give a presentation on growing great stories! Here is a little bit about what you will learn!

Do your stories produce fruit? There are various plants, just as there are various stories and books. However, every plant begins with seed, soil, water, and sunlight. Eventually, a stem, leaves, and flowers form. These elements can help you establish your story’s setting, rising action, and climax. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create a story map that mimics a fruit-producing plant. Come and grow your best story with me. You won't want to miss this!

You can join us for only $10 by using this link: https://ccwritersfellowship.org/payment-monthly-webinar/

I hope to see you there!

Keep Shining!

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Fruitful Friday, Reader! I don't have to remind you that this weekend is Mother's Day. Mother's Day without a Mom I never appreciated Mother's Day much until I had to celebrate it without a mom. My mom died when I was 19 years old. As all kids and teenagers do, I lived the first nineteen years focused on myself. I never realized what a mom did and never thought it could be that difficult. Mother's Day as a Mom I couldn't wait to be a mom myself. I anticipated...

Happy Fruitful Friday Reader! 🍓💦 Fruit and Water Just as Little Pot needs water to grow its strawberries, we need water to grow the fruit of the Spirit! You probably read that and thought about how many glasses of water you drank today and if it was enough. But I'm talking about the water inside your Yeti or new Stanley mugs. I'm talking about the water the woman at the well with Jesus discovered. Living Water! Living Water Did you know that the term Jesus used for "living water" was not a...

Hi, Reader! This fruitful Friday, we are doing some cutting! I think I told you my word for the year is forward. I chose that word because, in January, I did a Bible study called Don't Look Back. I chose the study and the word because I want to ensure I am not dwelling on things in my past. God reminded me of that this week when I longed for past relationships, jobs, and experiences. He gently reminded me, "I cut that out of your life for a reason." Ouch! Cutting can hurt. For Little Pot,...
