Manus Dei

After I wrote about my CLP experience I asked my Household leader the SFC site where I could share the essay in. She informed me about the SFC newsletter Manus Dei and told me to sit tight as she waits to hear word and confirmation from the editor in chief.

It turns out that Manus Dei is in the process of revival after a long hiatus and what I thought was a one time essay sharing became a call to serve as we were invited to become newsletter staffers.

Manus Dei first meeting

I have never been part of any newsletter team before and I certainly am no writer. Writing, though something I really want to improve on, does not come naturally to me, it is something that I really have to work on. 

I don't have a slew of vocabulary up my sleeve. I sometimes get lost in the mumbo-jumbo and rules of prepositions and conjuctions. I tend to write in between sentences and my grammar isn't perfect. There are times that I can breeze thru writing an essay in a jiffy but there are also times that it takes me days, weeks and even months to complete an essay I have started...

So no, I am not really a writer. I am just someone who wants to write because being more of an introvert, I found my voice in writing - it is thru writing that I feel more confident sharing my thoughts and feelings.

deadlines? I need not worry for God will equip me!

Despite my trepidation about having to write within a given deadline, being invited to become a Manus Dei staffer is something I could not say no to. That instance of sudden realization about asking for the gift of knowledge and writing came to mind and I understood that this is  God's way of making both come together.

And for all of this may God be Praised!
