To the one who has been chasing her tail trying to get her calling off the ground and sees no hint of fruit (let alone the pre-fruit flowering): This one’s for you. 👊🏼

If you can imagine it, I can get you there.

I was catching up with a couple of girlfriends (@karipatterson and @annabhunter) a couple of weeks ago, talking about my next manuscript I’ve been working on.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“It’s a study-commentary through Ezra, Esther, and Nehemiah,” I said.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Oh! We just studied Esther with our women,” my girlfriend said. And then she asked a question that caught me completely off-guard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Do you think it was voluntary?”
“Do I think what was voluntary?” I asked.
“The women auditioning to be queen,” she said.
“Huh,” I said. “I don’t know. I’ve never looked at the story that way.”

And then, last week, I did. And, 𝘰𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘩, it was 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺.

I’ve felt God’s Spirit sitting heavy in my own since digging into this three days ago, with four specific words that I can’t seem to shake.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I truly believe that someone needs to read them today.

He’ll gather you, if you’ll let Him.
