"I still remember that day. We ate ice cream and talked about life. My husband asked me what legacy I wanted to leave in this world. I said, 'I want to write. I want to put into words all the things I feel God has taught me throughout my life. Maybe someone can benefit from it?'
Well, the time has passed, and here I am, 6 years later! Yes, 6 years. Oh man, it took me so long. And I know the reason has been fear - fear of sounding ridiculous, fear of not having the right words to express myself, fear of my English. Yes, be prepared! English is my second language, and as you can probably see, it's not perfect. But that's okay.
After doubting myself, procrastinating, and complaining that 'I don't have time,' I decided to suck it up and just start writing! I set only one goal for myself this year: act on what God has put in my heart and leave the consequences to Him.
I'm not sure what you're going through right now. But I'm sure that if you're alive, it means you have something to offer to this world. Maybe you have a dream that has been on your nightstand for years, a song to write, a person to call, a friend to help. I don't know. But that thing that just came to your mind now? Do it! Tomorrow can be too late.
And remember, it doesn't have to be perfect; it just has to get done!"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:15-16)."
