First and foremost: I'm so sorry I'm such a terrible blogger. Between finals and NaNoWriMo, I had no extra time to write, much less blog. I'm working on trying to blog on a weekly schedule. Every weekend I'll try to post. It may be give or take a couple of days, but I'm working on it. I hope to make a good schedule over break, that way, by the time school starts, I've got a good habit. Let's see how this goes! And...the reason for this post: As a writer, I tend to be especially intrigued by secrets. Call me nosy and all, but I would love to learn everyone’s secrets. Many of my characters have tragic secrets that always have a grand reveal toward the climax. And it kills me to be left out of a secret if said secret’s existence is made known to me. So, listen to this verse I stumbled upon yesterday. The secret of the Lord is with those who fear him and he will show them his covenant. Naturally, this drove me rather crazy with speculation, wondering what the secret of the Lord could be. So, I looked up cross-references of this verse and cross-references of those cross-references and cross-references to those cross-references. And finally came up with these verses, Colossians 1 : 24 - 2 : 4. It basically says that Paul became a minister to “fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations" and is "a mystery among the Gentiles." Well, what is it? Finally Paul says, it's "Christ in you. The hope of glory.” And it claims that in God and Christ "are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
It's such a simple answer. Nothing overly complicated. Simply that it's Christ in you. Think about that too long, though, and it blows your mind.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
