I wish to to write fictional stories. I’m working on a manga story that I consider the most complex and human story that I have ever created. It’s a very Catholic work as well. It blows my mind. No doubt I had help from above.
Lately, my motivation has been up one day (or a few days) and down the next (more the later than the first). God has made it very clear that this is what I’m called to do (showing me in both very direct ways and subtle ways). The question is: When?! I’ve been working on this story for years and it’s come a long way…I try to trust in His timing and that He has a reason for postponing it. I guess I’m beginning to feel a little impatient.
If this stress didn’t feel bad enough, the priest that said the sermon said things like ‘Even our greatest accomplishments will be forgotten, most probably sooner than later.’ or ‘Our earthly (or our little earthly) accomplishments in the end are for nothing.’ but then concluded the sermon by saying to the effect of ‘We should learn that all our accomplishments are gifts from God’. So, what is it? Are our accomplishments worth something or not. I offer all I do, my joys, sufferings, my story, up to God and Mary. Don’t tell me there’s no worth in that.
All these mixed messages are making me dizzy. Someone make sense out of this :confused:

Thank you

Our accomplishments may or may not be forgotten by others, I think this is what the priest meant,
but God will remember if we make good use of our God-given talents.
Each person has their own individual talents.

Paragraph 1937 from the Catechism of the Catholic Church
“These differences belong to God’s plan, who wills that each receive what he needs from others, and that those endowed with particular “talents” share the benefits with those who need them. These differences encourage and often oblige persons to practice generosity, kindness, and sharing of goods; they foster the mutual enrichment of cultures:”
