My Mission
Twenty years ago, I sat alone on my bedroom floor, convinced I had nothing left to give. I had spent so many years trying to be everything to everyone else that I had completely lost myself. In many ways, I was trying to throw myself away.
Through tears, I finally whispered, "God, I give up."
In that quiet moment, I heard a distinct voice say, "Go to the computer and write."
I had never written a book. In fact, I'd never even imagined myself as a writer. But I sat down at the computer and began to type. As the words came, so did the characters. I wasn't plotting a story as much as discovering one. I simply followed where they led.
One by one, the characters revealed something they believed was wrong with them. Each carried a flaw, a wound, or an insecurity they wished they could erase. But by the end of the story, each discovered the same unexpected truth: the very thing they had spent their lives trying to hide was actually their greatest gift.
Looking back, I realize God wasn't just writing a story through me. He was writing one for me.
The lesson my characters learned was the same lesson I desperately needed to learn myself: no one is a throwaway person. Not them. Not me. The parts of ourselves we are most tempted to discard may be the very things God intends to use for good.
