Calling All The Writers

{From the Archives of Connie's Letters, January 2014.}

Part 1  - "Calling All The Writers"

Dear Mothers, i was up and down all nite last nite..praying and reading the scriptures.i read some of the facebook writings..i really liked your writing Sheila on preparing for the hard days ahead..Cud you send me that writing again Sheila? And if its ok i will ask Vicki to send it to the other grps? Has anyone gotten their Above Rubies Magazine yet? i havent heard anything myself..As i prayed last nite i said "Lord i think its time i quit writing and move over and let the younger ladies take it over..And the Lord spoke to my heart...And the Lord said in my heart.."Well you can quit writing but no one else can take your place ..You were called to write a certain message..and if you stop writing your message will be silent,,and forgotten."..Many are called but few are chosen..This message the Lord gave to me is for all the writers that get my writings..we each have a part to play ..the Bible says "Neglect not the gift that is in you"..This time we are in right now in our country is a writers Hay Day..Folks are running wild with confusion..They need a word from the Lord..from His messengers...An inspired word to give the Mothers at home courage..

Part 2 - "The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword."

In Ephesians where it talks about the whole armor of God ..it speaks of the Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God...So the Lord chose writers to publish His Words..Yes a weapon like a sword can influence a group of people ..but the written word can influence the whole world thru a magazine or a book..But for we Believers the Truth must be written down...and be in agreement with the Lords laws the Bible..During the Depression era when the stock market crashed in Oct of 1929`....it seems this hard time brot out the best in many Americans...

Part 3  -  "He Supplies All of Our Needs."

Ya know yrs ago i used a little email machine to send out my letters..i wud get so discouraged thinking no one was reading my emails..Several times i called my internet provider and told them i didnt want the internet any more..I wud call the office and tell them that i wasnt even paying for the internet..They wud tell me "Well someone is paying for it and you are paid up for a year.." i wud say that there was a mistake.They said someone was paying for it with a credit card..i said i dont even own a credit card..They said are you connie Hultquist? i said 'Yes"then they said "You paid for it." I said "No i didnt pay for it.."Well i decided to keep the internet after that..Then i got a regular computer and still someone was paying for it..i kept telling them it was a mistake .but they wudnt listen to me...As time went on someone quit paying for it..But i really think it was a mistake ..i think the computer place didnt know it but they were charging my bill to someone else..and i told them that over and over.But the Lord knows i wud have stopped writing had someone not paid the bill..Yes the Lord does work in mysterious ways..i pay the bill myself now ..as i know the Lord has called me to write..But back 13 yrs ago i didnt know that..Love connie
