“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much” (Luke 16:10, NIV).
When I was fourteen, I felt the call to write. For years, I’d been obsessed with animals. I volunteered at the Humane Society every weekend, conducted hundreds of service projects, and wrote dozens of articles. Nothing about my actions was wrong. They were just misaligned in God’s plans for me.
God didn’t boom His voice through thunder or lightning, but a gentle, still, small voice within prompted me to listen. Suddenly, writing replaced my fervor and passion. I still loved and cared for animals, but I knew this was my calling. Quickly, I started sharing the Gospel through every pen and piece of paper I could get my hands on. I created a blog, and was known in both High School and College for being a “lover of words.”
Over time, however, I allowed too many voices to get inside my head. This dream and desire to be an author were crushed by the weight of finding a more realistic and sustainable job. I was told I was a good writer, but many good writers existed.
Almost overnight, I deeply internalized the belief that I was good, but would never be good enough. Majoring in English for High School students, I never lost sight of the end goal. I was determined to teach while I had to, but deep down I still felt the calling to authorship.
