I grew up reading Dr. Seuss and Golden Books; later, I transitioned to Nancy Drew and Chronicles of Narnia. The Bible was, of course, always on the reading list as well.
I remember reading and being read to. Books, for me, always opened a world of discovery, imagination, and adventure. I still enjoy reading children’s stories and because of my nephew, I have a few memorized.
I know that I have my family to thank for fostering a love of reading and a love of books: a vital quality to pass on to children. May we all facilitate a love for words and for The Word of God.

My dad made an interesting point recently. He said to me, “Seeing how much work you put into the books you’re writing, it makes me wonder how much work Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, and those guys put into their writing.”
We all know those writers were inspired by God and guided by the Holy Spirit (II Peter 1:20-21). I do not pretend to put myself on the level of those men, but my dad’s comment got me thinking… I believe I have been called by God to share His truths with women. I trust that through study and through prayer, the Holy Spirit is guiding me in what to and what not to say, how to communicate it effectively, and how to equip, inspire, and empower women in their spiritual journey in community.
So, my question is this: Are we called to work and study or rely solely on the Holy Spirit’s inspiration? Which did the writers of the Bible do?
