I started writing my memoir years ago, then a more broader topic emerged on the restoration of women in 2012. I have been wrestling with what to write first- personal, or otherwise…. Since then, I’ve primarily been focused on launching two charities, speaking, writing blogs- so the daunting task of writing a book has been on hold for years for various reasons. Mentors in ministry like Carol Kent of “Speak up” and Shannon Ethridge of B.L.A.S.T. have both encouraged me over the years not to ‘rush’ the writing process, but when you know it’s time, it’s time. Now that I’m in my 50’s, an empty nester delegated most operational work within the two charities, and finally graduating from Briercrest Seminary…, it’s time.
As I focus on writing more in this season, I am highlighting a few resources where I have published short articles that support one’s journey to restoration.
