This Christmas, Give the Gift of Your Story: Why Now is the Perfect Time to Start Writing

Hey, Sisterfriend! Can you believe Christmas is almost here? The season of giving, love, and celebration always brings me so much joy. But you know what else it brings? A reminder that you have a story to tell—and now is the perfect time to start writing it.

Christmas is all about sharing the gift of love, and what better way to do that than by sharing the unique story that God has given you? Whether it’s your personal testimony, a devotional, or a journal full of reflections, your words have the power to inspire, encourage, and uplift others. And this year, through Called to Publish, you can turn that story into something that will bless countless lives.

Let’s talk about why this season is the perfect time to start writing your book and how Called to Publish can help you bring it to life.

1. Your Story is a Gift

Just like the wise men brought gifts to Jesus, your story is a gift that only you can give. God has walked with you through every high and low, every joy and struggle, and those experiences are meant to be shared. Whether you feel called to write a full-length book, a devotional, or even a journal, your words have the power to change lives.

This Christmas, why not start thinking about how you can turn your story into a gift for others? You never know who needs to hear what you have to say.

Daily Tip: Take a few minutes to reflect on your journey this year. Write down one or two experiences that you think could encourage someone else. These reflections could be the start of your story!

2. There’s No Better Time to Start

With the new year right around the corner, now is the perfect time to start working on that book you’ve been thinking about. Maybe it’s been on your heart for a while, or maybe the idea just came to you recently. Either way, there’s no better time than now to take that first step.

Imagine walking into 2025 with the momentum of having started your book, knowing that by this time next year, you could be holding a published copy of your story. It all starts with taking that first step, and there’s no need to wait for January 1st to get started!

Daily Tip: Set a small goal for this week. Maybe it’s outlining your book or writing just one page a day. Small steps add up quickly, and before you know it, you’ll be well on your way to writing your story.

4. Sharing Your Story Brings Glory to God

Let’s not forget the most important part—when you share your story, you’re giving glory to God. You’re testifying to His goodness, His faithfulness, and His power in your life. What could be more beautiful than offering up your story as a way to bring others closer to Him?

Writing your book isn’t just about telling your story—it’s about pointing people to the One who has been with you through it all. This Christmas, think about how your words could impact someone else’s faith journey. Whether they’re struggling, seeking, or just in need of encouragement, your story could be the light they need.

Daily Tip: Spend some time in prayer, asking God how He wants to use your story to bring others closer to Him. Let Him guide your writing and inspire you to share what He’s placed on your heart.
