I'm but a breath. 
Here today, gone tomorrow.
I'm a voice waiting to be heard. 
I'm a song waiting to be sung. 
I'm a word waiting to be spoken. 

I'm one voice. I'm one song. I'm one life.
Will you listen? 

I'm a lover of words.
I'm a writer.

I'm in love with the Lover of souls.
I'm a worshiper. 

I long to be more like Love, yearn to be the personification of it. 
I'm a woman allured... wooed... loved...
I'm incense. I'm worship. 

I am who I was made to be.
If not, I will be.

If all of these are true of you, if the words written on these pages awaken that ache deep within, that ache to know Him as you are known, then the woman in the wilderness is, in essence, you.

Hi, beautiful creatures! In case you're wondering, yes... I still plan to update Meeting Matthias. It's a story I love too much to abandon. I got more time on my plate these next few weeks, so I'm hoping to get a chapter or two up on that story by then. ;) Hope you're having an awesome life, lovelies!

Hello, everyone!

Just in case you're wondering, yes, I'm okay. I've just been to busy to be as active as I used to be on the site. 

I've been working as a ghost writer over the past few months, so I spend most of my day every day writing, while being involved in church activities on my free time. Just lately, I began working on a novel that I'm praying would be published. That's mainly the reason why I haven't been able to update my stories here as promised. When one writes for a living and writes also during her free time, I kind of don't have enough left in me to still write for the site. However, I do want to finish the stories, though it might take longer than planned. 

If you're still interested in keeping up with the stories, I'm hoping to update The Woman in the Wilderness within the week and Meeting Matthias within the month. *fingers crossed*

Do whisper a prayer for me. I feel like I'm stepping into the unknown with the publishing aspirations and everything.

Thank you to those who've been reading and commenting and voting on the stories. I can't express enough how much I appreciate it. 

Shalom!
-Joanna

@MangaO_o Hi there! Thanks for liking my profile enough to leave a message! Yes, we do have beautiful beaches here in the Philippines. I'm not sure about underwater rivers (not even sure what those are or how it would be possible to have rivers under water...), but there's probably one somewhere I just haven't seen. I haven't seen enough of my country to be honest. *facepalm*

@persevera Hey, welcome to the site!!! I checked out your story already and voted. (Just skimmed through much of it, since I figured I already read that part...) Yes. I feel like I have a larger audience here than on the other site. With FP, it's like no one even bothers to really read the stories... Here, the votes allow writers a chance to get noticed. <3

Hi, Joanna. Remember me?
I finished my story from this summer and, with the reviews I received and subsequent rewriting, I think it's better. So I decided to post it here. Wow--over 15,000 reads for one story. No wonder you like this site. I'll be back to catch up on that later tonight. Right now I just wanted to say hello
