Some have been blessed with the opportunity to grow in a stable Christian home. Some have been blessed with a different path. Yes, I say blessed
.because it is true. Laid out before me was that different path. I have no intention of going on about my childhood, but what I can say is I am not one who left home equipped for womanhood
.BIBLICAL womanhood. I left home a broken, independent, angry young woman. I married my husband at the age of nineteen and was nowhere near prepared for the role before me as a wife, homemaker or mother. God has been so gracious with me, guiding me all the way
leading me
.forgiving me
.knowing my heart above all. I am a much different person now, all praise to Him, but am still ever learning, ever growing. I still fall to my knees and ask the Lord to give me His wisdom.
It is because of these experiences of starting from scratch that I am to begin writing a book for other women. I want to take what I have learned, what I am learning, from the Lord and other wonderful, God fearing women and pass it on!
SO, here is how you can help. Some of my readers might be like me, having entered the real world unprepared for Gods role for them. You might have questions OR wisdom to share from experiences of your own. Some of my readers are women who were fully equipped for their role and have wonderful wisdom to share as well! Of course, no matter where we came from we ALL make mistakes and learn and grow from them. Now is the chance to share and make a difference in the lives of women!
I am going to begin an interactive Yahoo group called Daughter, Come Home. The purpose of this group will be to ask questions and share wisdom about Gods daughters coming back home to fulfill Gods mission for their lives. I will be interacting as well (gleaning MUCH, I am QUITE sure) and will be taking notes for my book. I will NOT publish any personal information about anyone and if I see something on the list I find would be beneficial to others IN a book I will ask permission to use it first. I have really prayed through this and feel this is Gods answer to getting into the hearts of other women. This is the type of book I would have loved to have read when I was starting out! Those who are a part of this list by the time my book is published (God only knows when that will be J) will get a free copy. I will also be sending out a daily devotional to ponder each day.
This list will be private and strictly moderated for privacy reasons. I will keep a subscription button in the right column of my blog, where those interested can join.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Blessings!
