What’s your story?

Many years ago, I remember my dad saying he’d heard there was a book inside everyone. He then asked me what my book would be about. I think I was twenty years old or so.

Now, I’m trying to finish my fourth novel. Thanks, dad. 🥹

Have you ever thought about writing your story?

We’re all writers here, so I guess this is just encouragement to keep writing. To be bold and courageous. To let God’s Spirit lead us and trust that He will use our words for His glory and for our good. And hopefully for the good of someone else. I trust that He does this. Even if I never hear from anyone, I trust Him.

So, today, keep writing.

Maybe it’s not a four hundred page historical fiction novel, maybe it’s poetry. Maybe it’s your testimony, how you came to know the Lord. Maybe it’s something you lived through, good or bad, and not something you’d share with anyone . . . not yet anyway.

Or is it what you know of your family heritage? That’s something that should be written down.

Maybe you just like journal.

Can I make a suggestion? Write it down. Recipes. Notes, thoughts, and prayers in your Bible. Favorite books or movies.

You have a story. Be bold and share it. Maybe you won’t share it today, but start writing it down today.

You might find that you do have a four hundred page historical fiction novel percolating somewhere inside of your mind! How cool would that be?!?!

If you wonder who would care about your Bible notes, let me tell you something. My grandpa’s Bible with all of his notes and favorite verses is a treasure. Also my dad has been gone for many years and whenever I come across one of his drawings or something in his handwriting, it’s like he walked back into the room with me.

So just do it, write something down today.
