Often we memoirists think we should focus on the big incident, the momentous scene, the shocking episode—and they are important—but look for the treasures, perhaps hidden right now—within the everyday events and individuals in your past. They could hold more importance than you realize.
Oswald Chambers said, "We look for visions from heaven and for earth-shaking events to see God's power. Yet we never realize that all the time God is at work in our everyday events and in the people around us."
In
writing your memoir, be deliberate: Make time to relive your experiences. Reflect. Explore
and examine the ways God was at work in your everyday activities and the people
who surrounded you.
What
was He doing?
What
was He working out?
How
did those events and people transform your life’s direction?
How
did they change the end of your story?
And
there you have it, your Tuesday Tidbit.
Happy
writing!
