"Now is the time"

Have you ever received a word from God that is so clear you HAVE to obey?  That's what has been happening to me these last few months.  Let me explain.  2 years ago, God called me to "come away with Me and rest"  In those 2 years I have been waiting on Him.  Listening for Him.  Abiding in Him.  Being loved on by Him.  It has been a very sweet time for me.  In those 2 years He has whispered to me to share my story.  I didn't know how He wanted me to do that but just recently He showed me. He told me that "now is the time" for me to share it - by writing
about it.  So, I begin on this journey of writing my story.  Sharing His glory.  Showing all of His fingerprints on my life.
I have to be honest - I'm experiencing a mixture of excitement, reservation, and a healthy share of FEAR.  What if I don't know how to write well?  What if no one really cares?  What if it's a total flop?  So many what ifs, but He's not telling me to ask those questions.  He's telling me to trust Him.  Trust Him with this calling.  Trust Him with giving me the right words.  Trust Him with my story. 
Can I ask you for something?  Please pray for me.  Pray that I won't rely on my own strength.  Pray that only He receives the glory.  Pray for wisdom for me as I go through untraveled waters - again.  Pray that others will be encouraged through my story.  Pray that they will know that God never leaves or forgets about them.  My hope is that people will be encouraged as they read about my story.  That they will know it is possible to see God's fingerprints on their faith.  That they are able to hear God speaking to them and possibly saying "now is the time".
