"The Omega Watchers" -  Still making revisions

After a few days break from writing to study and prepare to teach a prophecy class, I am now full swing back into getting the first part of the book pretty much finished so I could move into the "thick" of the plot.

I wonder if other writers have the same feelings of uncertainty as they put their thoughts, emotions and creative writing into story form?  I constantly ask myself if I am portraying the characters and scenes in words that will paint a picture of the people and places the story surrounds so the reader will both "feel" and "see" what is happening.

I am at the point in the book that spiritual beliefs become the center of everything that is happening.  Some of the characters stand firmly on their beliefs and others are trying to find their truth.  Is this not what we experience everywhere we go?  In our families, our jobs, community (and yes) even in the church we find people that really don't know what they believe, but then there are those that stand strong in their faith no matter what.  Sadly, there are many somewhere in the middle.

The true believers are the people that can be a shining light to everyone around them, when the allow the love of God to flow through them to others, allowing the Spirit in them to draw "all men unto Christ".

Gabriella (the main character in the book) is searching to find spiritual understanding and the reality of God.  She has just entered into a spiritual deception that would lead her down the road of destruction in her quest for truth.  There is always a counterfeit to the real.  And the "counterfeiter" is looking for every opportunity to make an appearance.  This is so true in the world today...maybe even more so as we see so many biblical prophecies fulfilled identifying the time in which we live.

Do you know what you believe?  Can you share it with others in a way that will draw them to THE Truth?  This is the most important mission we have in life!
