They flew me to a Women of Faith conference in October, and I met the whole team. Years ago, He’d put the desire in my heart for ministry through writing and speaking, but I couldn’t “see” the speaking part from where I sat in my sweats and tennis shoes, homeschooling my kids. He’d been dealing with me about increasing my faith and believing that He truly is able to accomplish His plans for us.

They didn’t tell me what they were thinking at first, but when I found out, I thought, “No way!” But as the process unfolded, I knew that it was really all about my relationship with God. Terrible, but I didn’t even know Thomas Nelson was the ministry home for Women of Faith. God story! I was signed to Thomas Nelson Fiction last spring, and the fiction team got the crazy notion that they should pitch me as a Women of Faith speaker.
