Writing and Faith

My mom gave me a subscription to Living Faith as a gift. I always enjoy the daily Catholic devotions based on the day’s readings, but some speak to me more than others.

Amy Welborn wrote a devotional back in August that really hit home with me as a writer and a woman trying to live the faith. May it encourage other wordsmiths out there as well.

“…I’ve learned some important lessons about faith from writing. Writing involves courage in sharing from deep within, without any certainty that it will do a bit of good. It involves a lot of waiting without a concrete reason to hope.

It strikes me that being a disciple of Jesus is also about stepping forward and waiting – every day. Holding on tight to the promise that its fulfillment – and our joy – will surely come.”

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
