Amen?</p> <p>Are you sharing your work with others?</p> <p>Put yourself out there. Step into the light from the shadows.</p> <p>It’s time to release your words to the world. Let them fly.</p> <p>We can get stuck in paralyzing fear. I still get nervous when releasing a new book to the world - filled with doubt and second-guessing</p> <p>It takes courage to share what you create with the world. When you put your heart and soul into something putting out there to possibly be criticized is tough.</p> <p>I found that once I started thinking of myself as a writer, my courage grew, and the way others responded to me changed. It's amazing how a subtle shift in attitude can make all the difference.</p> <p>It is by taking those next steps and moving forward that great things happen.</p> <p>The world needs your words.</p> <p>It’s time to press publish!!</p> <p>One minute reflection: What is God saying to you today?</p> <p>It is our mission to be used by God to help unlock the gift of writing inside you.</p> <p>God has more for you. More for your writing.</p> <p>Inside Christ
