My path -
In Jr. High, I remember surprising myself by putting in writing that one of my goals was to write daily bread-type devotionals.
Fast forward to adulthood, for about 15 years, after giving my life to Christ, I worked (joyously) in the church and outreach.
I was licensed and ordained on two levels in ministry, eventually by two different denominations (one, monitored; one, perpetual).
I was introduced to a young lady who God used to introduce me to a particular calling with daughters and their mothers.
I wrote a book for lay persons about working in the church. While shopping for air time to announce a book, I was asked for an interview about the book. At the end of the interview, the host asked what I would do in the future. My response, which shocked me completely, was that I would help sheep deal with "crazy" pastors. I didn't know that was in me to say and had not had any bad experiences with pastors at that that time.
I continued working in ministry, giving the book away, airing spiritually motivational messages consistently for several years. As I finished another degree, I also finished writing three more books about pastors, daughters/mothers, and spouses, all of which, though not yet published, are registered at the LOC.
In an effort to expand my reach with the writing, I chose to start a website/blog to write about my experiences and the experiences of others in church, ministry, leaders, fellow laborers, women and relationships. The writings on the website are writings that I have not been able to put on air or are better discussed in a different forum.
There are some responses, but due to the nature of the topics, most tend to respond privately or discuss with God the relief of discovering, through the blog, that they aren't the only ones going through the experiences that have given them concerns about losing hope.
Next, videos and maybe tv, in some form or fashion.
