“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9, NIV).
Just over a year ago, I left my stable teaching job to pursue full-time writing. I had felt this calling since I was 14, but now that I was finally in a place to do so, fear swept over me.
How would I make it?
What if something happened to my husband?
What if I failed?
What if I heard God wrong?
But the more the questions resounded, the louder another voice pushed through:
Leaving what you’ve always known is scary, but what’s scarier is staying where you are when you know you’re called to leave.
As I look back over this year, I see mountain tops and valleys. I won a considerable writing conference award and signed with an agent. But I was also rejected by 15 traditional publishers for not having a large enough platform. I grew my blog, email list, and social media significantly, but I also hosted virtual events and had little to no one show up. I learned how to hone my craft to become a clear and concise writer, but I also lost some of my joy and spontaneity in the process.
