As a young girl, I always knew that I wanted to be a writer. I loved to read as far back as I could remember. Even between the precious ages of six and eight, I would imagine what the authors thoughts were? How did their brain work in such a way that they could bring words together to tell a story? Being intrigued by this thought throughout the years, I began to write poetry and the idea was to build my imagination to the point of creatively writing children's books. As years passed, the idea of being an author, I desired, however the reality of it started to fade away. It wasn't until my early thirties that I had decided to pursue the thought of authorship, again. Well, I would start writing but I found that I could not complete my story. (a lot of that due to being overly critical of myself). Eventually, I took the pressure of completing a book based on this imaginary deadline, to just writing when I felt led to. And that's what I did. Although "The Esther Experience" is not my first writing project, it is my first completed project. I was given the task of teaching our Women's Ministry through our church a study on the biblical book of Esther. As I prepared for this task and begin to write, I realized how the layout in which I wrote this study presented as a book. I realized how God had allowed me to unconsciously do the very thing I longed. I realized that my personal challenge was getting pass the intimidation of writing a book that would be acceptable, and to just write! There was a seed of authorship planted within me a long time ago, that I am blessed to see come to pass. There are a few books that have been planted within my spirit and I truly believe that, by the aide of the Holy Spirit, God will allow them all to come forth, and so much more. Thirty two years later, who would have thought?
