Why now?
What's gotten into me? Why is sharing the truth of my story so important to share right now?

I have a little expertise in many things. I've been a healthcare worker off and on since 1985. I was a radio announcer for ten years or so. (Loved it!) I've been an entrepreneur and owned three or four businesses that I've primarily worked from home. I market online...some. I've been a semi-pro environmentalist/wellness geek for over 20 years. And I home-educated my own kids for almost 25 years. I love to speak, encourage others, teach, and have been singing in public since I was about five years old. Nowadays, it's popular to "influence" the world with the expertise you can share. I love being the center of attention, so easy breezy!
But the main reason, if I'm honest, is about showing other women the way to find peace, joy and an escape from bitterness. Of course, not all women have a story of abuse, neglect or abandonment to tell. But I'll bet there are a lot more than you think. They just mask their pain and shame. And I find that to be true with Christian women more than you might think. We sing "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart," on Sunday. But every other day of the week we deal with rage, guilt, feelings of regret and (even heavier) blaming God for the whole thing.
And the burden to share how God has worked to bring healing into my life has not just sort of arrived. He's been knocking on the door of my heart for years. How was I to know how to get a blog started? Or what made me think I had the ability to write a book? I guess fear and ignorance pretty much prevented me from stepping out and getting the journey started.
Finally, the calling was just too pressing to ignore. I quit my job and started spending all my time searching for topics like, "How to write a book on Amazon," or "How to start a blog or podcast." I took a course on becoming an author and (voilà) the Discarded Bible study was born. I'm working on a go-along memoir at the time of this blogging.
I guess I just feel called to show the way...and maybe you feel called to hear it.
