Have you felt God calling you to step outside of what you know how to do into an unknown arena? Over 12 years ago I felt led to begin writing. Me, the girl whose college English teacher said that if I didn't start writing shorter essays, I would flunk her class. I had no idea why God wanted me to write, and sometimes the question still begs an answer, but I was obedient, and God opened doors I never knew were there.
In this personal episode, I share my journey of stepping outside my comfort zone—from drawing house plans to writing stories—and the doubts that nearly made me quit.
But then, God sent a letter. Not just any letter—a handwritten note from a prison inmate who read my "silly little story" and found hope in the most unexpected way.
This episode is a powerful reminder that obedience doesn't always come with clarity, but it always comes with purpose. If you've ever questioned your calling, struggled with confidence, or wondered if your story matters… this one's for you.
💡 What You'll Hear:
- The doubts and discouragement that nearly made her quit
- The unexpected letter that confirmed her calling
- Why your "small" story might be someone else's lifeline
- Encouragement for stepping into unknown territory with faith
