Stories Have Always Captivated My Heart

Never Underestimate the Power of Story

From the bedtime stories my dad read to me and my brothers, to the required reading of various literature classes, to the novels consumed in the quiet of the night, stories have always captivated my heart.
It was not until January of 2015, when a divine prompting dropped from the blue into my heart, that I even entertained the notion of writing a novel. Frankly, I didn’t know if I could. But with my children all grown and my husband’s business requiring less and less of my attention, space had finally opened up for me to do what I had in my heart to do. So, I chose to give myself to learning the process of moving a story up out of my heart and onto the pages of a book. Now, having finished my fourth novel, I am in awe of the One who Authored my life. He knew all along that stories lived inside of me just waiting for the right moment to emerge into the light - even when I did not. |
