Nearly fifteen years ago I started something in obedience to God. I began to write the story of God’s restoration and redemptive work in my marriage and in my own heart. I wrote and then stopped for long periods of time. Then wrote some more and stopped again. And then I started to sense a push from the Holy Spirit to “finish the book.” And still, it seemed like a “someday” thing that would never come.
Until it did.
It is time for the story of God’s fiery work in my life to be released and it feels scary and crazy and good and vulnerable. And like a dream. A dream I’ve had since childhood—to be a writer—is no longer a dream, and I think I’m struggling with that! So weird. But I think the struggle is this… as long as something remains a dream, there is no risk. There’s no vulnerability in a dream, until that dream becomes a reality. So I’m now learning to trust God with my vulnerability. To trust Him with a dream that is no longer a dream.
It comes out on March 20th. I hope you will read it, not because I wrote it, but because it is God’s story and no matter who you are or your season of life, married or single, it will affect you. It will challenge you, minister to you, and hopefully stir a fresh hunger in you.
