So for the last month I have been thinking about writing my life story/testimony. It came to me after sharing it with some great friends. I think about it almost daily... Sometimes multiple times in a day. It makes me nervous, but I have finally started it.
I don't know if I will ever get it published or anything... All I know is God told me to write it down and I am going to. I'm the kind of person who must finish what I've begun and this will get finished. Unfortunately that part of me can hold me back from starting new things, but I've decided in won't hold me back this time.
I decided last weekend that I would start writing it by the end of this year and started it today. I've always been an open book, so the thought of having all my business out there is not to scary. The biggest scare is having my family's business out there. I know people in my family will be hurt by this book, but I can not write my story without their lives out there too. The trials I have endured include my family. My hope is that they will know that I have truly forgiven them and have no anger towards them. I know they gave me the best they had and sometimes that's just not that great.. So hears to writing my book. Feel free to ask me how it's going.
I think that is wonderful. have you thought about talking to your family in reference to what you will be sharing about them? Ask God to give you favor with them. If God wants you to write the book (ultimately to glorify Him) He will prepare their hearts. And some may have to remain anonymous.
ReplyDeleteTo Him be glorified!
There's no way my family will ever be okay with sharing their story, but it's impossible not to mention them or for them to remain anonymous. Telling my life story and all the trials i've been through includes my parents and they can't be excluded. I will however be very careful with how I say things and try to leave the nity grity out as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteNo parent want's their messy marriage to be out there, but I believe I am to write this book. To give a good look at my whole life it involves other people. I am just praying and trusting that they will not be angry for this book. However I don't even know what will come of it after I write it.
