Hello and welcome to the very first post on my new blog! I’m Michelle Stimpson, and you may know me from my novels like Boaz Brown, the Mama B series, and Deacon Brown’s Daughters, or perhaps through my short stories and educational efforts at WeGottaRead.com. As we embark on this new journey together, I want to share not just stories, but a part of my heart and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

This blog is born out of a desire to connect more deeply with you, my readers, and to create a space where faith, writing, and life intersect. Here, I will share insights from my personal journey, the behind-the-scenes of my writing process, and the profound impact of journaling on my life and spirituality. But more than that, I aim to foster a community where we can grow together in faith and creativity.

“Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” – Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV)

This verse encapsulates the spirit of this blog. As we delve into discussions about faith, the challenges of life, and the art of storytelling, I hope to remind us all that when we entrust our endeavors—be it writing, teaching, or any other pursuit—to God, He guides our paths and gives purpose to our passions.

Expect to see posts covering:

• The inspiration behind my books and stories
• Tips and encouragement for aspiring writers
• The importance of faith in navigating life’s challenges
• The transformative power of journaling
• And much more!

I plan to post bi-weekly to start, with the hope of increasing frequency as we find our rhythm together. To ensure you don’t miss out on any updates, I encourage you to sign up for notifications below. Also, click to sign up for my newsletter!.

I am so excited to start this new chapter with you. Through this blog, I hope not only to share my experiences and insights but to hear from you as well. Your stories, your struggles, and your triumphs are what inspire me to keep writing and teaching. So, please, feel free to comment, share, and join in the conversation. Together, let’s explore the beauty of faith, the craft of writing, and the journey of life itself.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for supporting my work. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.
