I've been writing a book in my head for quite some time now. The characters are so real to me and the story is one that I feel compelled to write. So I've begun. This process is going to challenge me in every way because I'm discovering that what I like to read correspondes to what I like to write. Unfortunately what I like to write is in the minority. *sigh* I guess the things worth doing are not the easy ones.
Anyway, what I wanted to start exploring was the main premise of the book. It has to do with identity - basically who we are in Christ. I'm sure you've heard the saying that everyone is born with a God-sized whole in their heart and it is only when we find God that that hole gets filled up and we are complete. My main character is going to struggle with the whole issue of identity - initially rejecting her parents and eventually accepting God. The real question for me is what does it mean? Deriving our identity from God - what are the implications?
