Just a thought by coppi

Writing is a process in which we discover what lives in us. The writing itself reveals to us what is alive in us. The deepest satisfaction of writing is precisely that it opens up new spaces within us of which we were not aware before we started to write. To write is to embark on a journey whose final destination we do not know. Thus, writing requires a real act of trust. We have to say to ourselves: “I do not yet know what I carry in my heart, but I trust that it will emerge as I write.” Writing is like giving away the few loaves and fishes one has, trusting that they will multiply in the giving. Once we dare to “give away” on paper the few thoughts that come to us, we start discovering how much is hidden underneath these thoughts and gradually come in touch with our own riches.  (Henri Nouwen)

I am one that journalizes if I have a hurt or if something is causing me angst. I write about each incident being very truthful; I then take the note, tear into tiny pieces,and say “Help me Jesus to be an overcomer”.

I started writing ‘Just a Thought by Coppi’ in Dallas, Tx. many years ago.  I thought If I would be vulnerable about the “uglies” that happened to me and how I got through them by my faith in Jesus, I could help someone else. I started my journey in writing at that time, and have continued until the present.  My prayer is that ‘Just a thought by Coppi’ might help another person plowing through ditches in their life.  I leave the results to Jesus; I only keep writing.
