new goal, new challenge

The other day Jay and I were chillen outside and I was expressing to him my thoughts about the future, our careers, passions, goals, etc. I was telling him that I am such a firm believer in wives supporting their husbands first and foremost but at the same time still struggling through what that looks like exactly. Do wives just support husbands? When do husbands support their wives? Questions, questions, so many questions....Selfishly, I had the guts to tell him that I love to support him in school, work, ministry, passions, interests, and all that, but sometimes I wish that he could support me in the same way. Don't get me wrong..my husband is the most grateful and thankful man as far as appreciating all I do, and he is my biggest fan in so many ways, but I have been feeling this yearning and desire to do something else with all this passion inside of me. 

I have gotten a lot of confirmation and encouragement lately as far as my writing is concerned- and to my shock...Jay told me to start writing a book (something that I've always secretly thought about but never had the confidence to do). 

I think its a way that I can share my story (God's story) and testimony of my life so far. I want to show God's faithfulness in my life and His power through hard, challenging, and growing times.  I am thinking about writing specifically to teen girls (for the sake of our youth girls right now) about being a daughter of the King in such a crooked and evil world that we live in, and incorporating Truth from God's Word with my experiences. I am in the brainstorming process and I think I am going to just start writing what God is placing on my heart and see where that leads me. 

So, here it goes! I'm praying for direction, because I'm not even sure how or where to start something like this. But I am going to take my time, enjoy the process, and pour out my heart.

Any ideas are welcome :) And thanks to the hubs for motivating me to use my gifts and supporting me through this learning process! He's the best.
