This Is the Part I Didn’t Want to Share

This is for you if you’ve been resisting something, not because it’s not worth doing, but because doing it requires a version of you that feels vulnerable.

I’ve been meaning to do something for a long time, but I’ve been avoiding it because it requires a level of vulnerability that makes me uncomfortable.

Not too deep, not overly personal — but still, vulnerable enough to make me hesitate. And yet, I know I need to do it.

I was writing a book. I worked on it consistently until God highlighted something specific He wanted me to write about. And that’s when I stopped.

The moment it became clear what I was being asked to share, I froze. I told myself, “Nope, I’m not sharing that.” I didn't want to open up about that part of my life because not everyone needs to know. Since then, it’s been months, and though I’ve continued to write other things, I haven't touched the book.

I’ve avoided writing about my financial challenges as an entrepreneur — the mistakes I’ve made, and the guilt and shame I’ve carried because of them.

Deep down, I know that writing this part of my story will not only bring healing and release for me, but also for those who will eventually read it. Yet, the thought of exposing that part of myself has kept me stuck.

This book has been two years in the making.

Even while writing this today, a part of me wondered: Am I being premature in sharing this?

But I’ve felt prompted again by the Spirit to move forward. All the writing I’ve been doing recently? It’s been good, but the truth is, I should have been working on the book. Specifically, on the chapter I’ve been resisting.

Is there a chapter of your life you’ve hidden because you’ve convinced yourself it’s too much, too messy, or too personal?

I have so many projects I want to pursue, but I recognise that writing this book must now be a top priority. Whether it's released before the year ends or not, I need to obey and focus on one critical chapter while documenting the lessons I have been learning this season about entrepreneurship, stewardship and trusting God.

Another thing I’ve realised is that I haven't been documenting this current season of my life as much as I’d like to. So much unfolding right now needs to be captured — honestly and faithfully.

So, for the next 12 weeks, writing this book will be a high priority on my list.

I’ve heard it said, "Delayed obedience is still disobedience," and if I’m honest, I’ve been disobeying. But I’m making the choice to do what God is asking me to do, regardless of how uncomfortable it feels.

What would it look like to stop running from that assignment — and start walking toward it, even slowly, even afraid?

At first, when I started writing the book, I thought it was simply about sharing my journey — what worked, what didn’t, and lessons that could help others. But the more I wrote, the more I realised: I am just the vessel.

This book isn’t just about my success or struggles. It’s about being obedient in sharing my story, so that others can learn lessons, find hope and healing through it.

So now, my focus is clear: complete the chapter God has laid on my heart — and trust that everything else will flow from there.
