Are you struggling with a story that you know needs to be told — but you’d much rather someone else write it instead? As writers and aspiring authors, we often have a vision for what we think our writing career will look like. But what happens when God interrupts your plans and challenges you to be vulnerable and share a story that exposes secrets and sets people free?

But when her own pursuits didn’t work out the way anyone expected, Rosie found herself writing that book instead. As a result, she discovered the bigger purpose God had in mind. Let Rosie’s story encourage you to keep doing what you feel called to do — even if it’s not what you think you want to do.
