The peace fills the air. Wow it this real, can this really be true. I pinch myself, I look around, I listen; peace is everywhere. Thankyou Jesus a dream is finally coming true.

Passionate, motivated, excited and driven described my life. Finally, I was someone I was going somewhere. I had a dream, a vision and I was going to make sure I achieved it. Chaos ruled as I chased and hunted the dream. I was like the greyhound chasing the rabbit, I could smell it and from time to time, I could feel the soft touch of the prize; my mouth would salivate, only to have it move just out of my reach again. All my priorities were upside-down as I tried to help others to fix their lives, as I needed them to succeed so that my dream would be complete. If only I could achieve my dream, then I would have peace, I would have order, and I would feel whole.

Now order is reigning in my life, love and acceptance of others and oh how wonderful is the peace that permeates my life, my home. I am someone. My dreams are being fulfilled as I seek the peace of God in my life.

My home is my life. My home is now filled with peace, a dream I had never hunted, as I never believed I could achieve. A beautiful home is the home filled with the peace of God. My home.

This is great! But I'd love to know what happened between your second and third paragraphs! More details, please.

Sometimes we fear writing the things that are most personal to us. We fear getting deeper into our emotions as we write, or shelter our readers from what we feel they would not enjoy, codemn us for, or judge to hastily.

Avoid this tendency. Share those innermost feelings with delight at all that God has done for you.

When you do this, you will see God taking your writing to a whole new level.
