Here is an excerpt from my story. For the full article, click on the LATEST BRAVE STORY link below.
I remember the early morning darkness alone in my hotel room as God gently asked me, “Susan, I am calling you to be a writer. Can you point your writing to Me?” God asked me this question on an October morning in 2019. At that time, I was attending the Declare Conference in Texas. That moment of intimacy with God became an invitation to walk hand in hand with Him and to create with Him on this adventurous writing journey.
However, since that morning, there were many times I doubted myself. Accepting God’s invitation pulled me out of my comfort zone of writing privately and keeping my thoughts to myself. God called me to use my voice through my writing to glorify Him and to encourage others. But as someone who is highly sensitive and wears my heart on my sleeve, this calling seemed like a tall order from God. I was scared of what others might think of me after they read my writing or what kind of criticisms I may receive. I felt like the writing journey wasn’t for the faint of heart, especially for someone like me.
