Friends… I’ve been holding on to a secret for so long that I’m about to bust. I promise to make it official as soon as I have a contract in my hot little hands. Here are some hints:
- It’s a writing project in a new genre. (I’m up to my ears in writing, so I’m going to do a few fun posts here until I can breath again.)
- It’s about a woman who speaks up.
- She walks through all the steps we’ve been studying here: listen –> feel –> do –> speak
Any guesses? If you leave your guess in the comments, I’ll do a random drawing from the commenters for a free copy of Exhale!
In the meantime, I want to recommend some other spots that I speak up! These are resources and ministries that I love personally enough to invest my time in.
This week, A Wife Like Me is my highlight. A Wife Like Me is a team collected and directed by my fun friend Amanda Davidson. She and her team write and speak for women who want to grow in their faith and in their marriage. I LOVE this ministry and follow them on both Instagram and Facebook. They’ve also got a podcast, books, and free downloads on their website. So many treasures! (I especially love their Wednesday Wife Challenge on Insta. Who doesn’t love a kissing challenge?!)
I’ll be the guest teacher for A Wife Like Me Collective soon. It’s one of the places that I adore speaking up, and I’ll be teaching on “Lose Who You’re Not,” from Colossians 1. Check it out, and pray about joining me there if you’re a wife who’s longing for spiritual growth that will make a difference in your marriage. They’re offering a free 7-day trial right now!
My guess is that it is an autobiography about how you worked through those steps in your own life.
Such tender subjects that line our path to Christ. Every good thing comes from Him— and knowing that I can take each step of the journey in confidence.
Thank you for your inspiring post today. If I were to win your giveaway I would give the Bible to my unsaved friends who has been on my heart. I just have been unsure on what Bible to give her so I pray you may consider me. Thank you and God Bless You and your ministry.
Thank you for this message of encouragement.
Lately I’ve been overwhelmingly busy catering and caring for an elderly parent. They’re totally bedridden and has been diagnosed with Dementia. They’ve been living with us off and on and now permanently for the past five years or more. Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to get reliable or consistent help from outside home care or from any family members.
All at the same time I’ve been trying not to oppress, depress or exasperate my military disabled and retired husband or our adult child living with us who also being treated and being monitored. All that leaves with nearly any room for me to take care of me!
Jemison, that’s truly a lot. I’m praying now that God strengthens you for the tasks that are truly yours and that He gives you discernment about what to pass off. You are loved!
A book about Esther who did all of those things to be who God planned for her to be….
A book about coming into her own and finally speaking up for herself? Exhale!!!
You’re writing a story about a woman who carefully listens to and evaluates all sides of an issue, then respectfully states her opinion.
This study looks so needed and refreshing! 🙂 Thank you!
Is it a fiction book, maybe based on a Biblical woman?
A book on Abigail, Nabal’s wife from the Bible. I am thrilled by that story.
I’m guessing an autobiography focusing the transformation God has worked in your heart over the past few years.
I’m guessing it’s a Christian fiction book whose main character will be a woman who has learned (or learns) how to listen and speak up.
Maybe a work of fiction based in current time about an ordinary woman who finds her voice and makes an impact on our current world and time. Whatever it is it will be worth it cause you wrote it!
Are you doing a fiction book on Abigail from Bible? Either way, sounds exciting! Can hardly wait!
I think it is fictional based on a woman/women in history – Biblical or not that speaks up!
All of the above! Can’t wait to hear!
I think your new writing project is a book about a women learning to speak up based off all your teachings.
Your new book is a work of fiction! A story that incorporates all the skills you talk about here on the blog:
