I just realized something important last night. Everything I do is about lighting the world by helping others share their stories. People teach what they’ve learned through articles on IdeaMarketers; they share their stories and poetry on SheLovesGod. I help them build platforms from which they can light the world and share their impactful “stories.”

With my latest historical fiction novel, An Uncertain Justice, finally making its way to print after 2 years of research, writing and editing, I only realized last night how it fits into the grand scheme of things! I know, I can be incredibly slow sometimes!

My great-great aunt watched her father die in her arms. My grandfather lost his mentor in a senseless murder. The trauma they went through and the death my 2nd great grandfather suffered suddenly holds meaning with the release of An Uncertain Justice. Their story of forgiveness, healing, mercy and justice is finally being told after 87 years. All the wonderful themes woven throughout this novel will not only entertain, but also help people explore important concepts and deal with their own life’s challenges.

So, yet again, I am taking someone’s story and putting it out there for others to benefit. It’s so wonderful to feel that heavenly assurance that yes, I am on purpose, and this novel is significant. I have felt in my heart for some time that my ancestors want their story told. Now I understand why . . . it gives meaning to all they suffered.

Suddenly, all the delays and strange computer viruses and crashes that ate manuscripts make sense. Heaven wanted me to get so clear on my mission and message that nothing would stop me – that I would be fearless in doing justice to “An Uncertain Justice!”
