But God! I Write Songs Kenneth Lee McGee

This book differs from the previous Emmy stories. This book combines Emmy's present life with her efforts at writing a book about her life."But God! I write songs! Are you sure? I don't know if I can do that."She paused again and listened. "Okay, in Psalms 28:7, it says 'The Lord is my strength and my shield;my heart trusts in him and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.'My song, Lord. That's what I do. I write songs, not what you are asking." She closed her eyes and wept until Philippians 4:13 popped into her head."I can do all this through him who gives me strength."She sighed and took a deep breath."Fine! I won't fight you because you always win."At that moment Kenny entered the control room."You okay, Em. I thought I heard something.""That was me fighting against God," she said and then grinned."Did you win?""Of course not," she said . "But this is crazy."He tilted his head. "What? And why would you fight God?""Because I'm stubborn and because of what He wants me to do.""What is He asking you to do?"She raised her hands. "The Holy Spirit told me to write a book.""A book? Are you sure? You write songs."She looked up at Kenny, and he saw the sparkle in her eyes. Kenny let go of her hands. "What will you do?" She shrugged. "I'll do what He told me to. I don't know what good it will do, but I'll do it. I'll write a book about my life. Like anyone will want to read that."She laughed. "This is crazy. Where in the world would I start?"Kenny kissed her cheek. "I'm sure you will figure it out, m'lady."The "Emmy's Story" series begins when Emmy isfour-years-old and quickly progresses to focuson her teen years and beyond. In this book, "But God! I Write Songs: Emmy's Story, Part 13,"Emmy struggles with the need to do as God askswhile dealing with her busy family life
