Oh, Sherry, I relate to this journey. I once wanted to study theology but felt caught in teaching to keep with my kids' schedule. Now I only want to write and so question why I'm the marketing job I have. I keep asking what it would take to know it's okay to move into writing. At present, I provide the health insurance for our family, which I've done since my husband went to seminary, so I don't feel I can quit my job. Hang in there. It's a long daily path of asking, how can I serve today, God?

Yes! You are right and I forget that it’s so simple. I think I’m so used to putting so much pressure on myself that I need to simply remember that Christ loves me and I need to reflect that love into the world. I have also been the one to provide health insurance for my family. This is the first time I haven’t been in that position, so I think that’s opened me up to different possibilities. I am praying that you can ease into writing without fear or hesitation. I love your writing!
