Why I Write: The Story Behind She’s So Scripture

Before I ever had a blog, a podcast, or a platform—there was a little girl, sitting on her bed with her mother’s Bible, teaching Scripture to a congregation of stuffed animals and dolls.

That girl was me.

I’ve always had two things in my heart: the Word of God, and the love of writing. My first story? Written at age six. (It was about a frog. 🐸 Don’t judge her.)

As a teen, I was writing books and plays—anything to express what was stirring inside me. But that love of the Word? That was different. That was calling.

One Thanksgiving, years later, my husband and I were driving home from visiting family when the Lord dropped an idea in my spirit—to write about becoming a Proverbs 31 woman. That little whisper became a spark, and that spark became Worth Beyond Rubies.

Since then, the journey has grown far beyond what I imagined. God merged my work with Sue Nelson of Woman of Noble Character, and from that partnership came She Opens Her Bible, Affirm Faith Co, and now—She’s So Scripture.

But can I tell you something honest?

When I first started, I was afraid. I didn’t feel good enough. I didn’t think anyone would want to read what I had to say. I was convinced I wasn’t qualified.

And yet…I couldn’t shake the feeling that God had planted this in me long before I had the confidence to speak it out loud.

That’s why I write.

Because I believe in the girl with the Bible on her bed, unsure but hungry. I believe in the woman who feels overlooked, overwhelmed, or underqualified. I believe in the power of the Word to heal, correct, restore, and call forth the very best in us, even when we don’t see it yet.

You matter.
You don’t have to earn the right to be used by God.
Those lies that say you’re not enough? They are not your inheritance.
And Scripture? There’s so much more waiting for you than you’ve ever imagined.

So I keep writing. I keep showing up. I keep opening the Word and sharing it.
Not for attention.
Not for applause.
But for the one woman-maybe it’s you-who’s still sitting quietly, wondering if God can really use her.

He can.
And I’m living proof that He will.
