For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).
The above Scripture is a favorite of Sue Winchester, writer of the daily devotions for the WNAC blog. She writes, “ I felt God calling me into a writing ministry in 1973. It was WNAC that helped confirm this for me. Back then, WNAC was sponsoring a Creative Writing Contest (later changed to Creative Arts Contest.) My very first entry, “Recipe for Happiness” was published in the former Co-Laborer magazine that next year. Through the years, WNAC has accepted and published many of my contributions. Though my first love was poetry, through the support of WNAC, I have been able to branch out with my writing. With God’s help, I’ve also written articles, skits and programs.
Through the years I had been blessed to serve as an officer in my local and district WAC in St. Louis. For a couple years after my husband’s passing back in 2005, I wasn’t sure what the future would hold for me. Thanks to Christian women who cared and prayed for me, I understood that “giving up was not an option.”
God was gracious to open up an opportunity that wouldn’t just help me, but could also be a blessing to others. For over five years now, God has given me the strength and wisdom to write the daily devotionals for the WNAC blog.
Beyond WNAC, I’ve been blessed with opportunities to use writing to inspire others. For almost forty years now, I’ve thought of my writing ministry as ‘His pen in my hand.’ I will always be grateful to WNAC for helping me find and fulfill my place in the Great Commission.”
PRAY TOGETHER: Pray for WNAC editor, Sarah Fletcher, as she attends and seeks to gather new ideas and insights for Treasure at the Evangelical Press Association meeting this week in Nashville. TN.
