~ are you called to write? ~

For many years I believed my experiences were something to hide. Like many people, I carried shame, confusion, and unanswered questions. I assumed that if others truly knew my struggles, they might judge me or misunderstand me.

But something remarkable began to happen when I started writing honestly about my life. Writing became a conversation with God. Through journaling and reflection, I began to see my life differently. Painful memories that once felt meaningless began to reveal deeper lessons about love, identity, grace, and healing.

Over time I realized something important: Our stories are not just for us. They can become a source of hope for others. When people hear how God met us in our struggles, they often begin to recognize that He may be working in their lives as well.

That realization inspired the creation of: Let's Write Your Testimony; Called to Write; the need for the anthology, Stories of Hope. Also, sharing our stories is a big part of Detox with Jesus.  

Last but not least, I am working on the concept of a Writer's Market as a place to market these stories.  I will share this with participants.

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE:  Revelations 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death."
