There are seasons when something keeps returning to your heart—quietly, persistently—
without demanding your attention, yet never fully leaving you alone.
Not as pressure.
Not as urgency.
But as a steady awareness.
You may have noticed it in moments of stillness.
A sense that there is more within you that wants to be written, remembered, or
released—when the time is right.
This isn’t about rushing to a decision.
It’s about discerning a season.
Sometimes the question isn’t “Should I write?”
It’s “What is God inviting me to tend to right now?”
This space exists to help you listen.

Discernment Questions
Take a moment. There is no rush here.
You don’t need perfect answers—only honest ones.
You may want to read these slowly or return to them over time.
Begin Here
What keeps returning to your heart, even when you try to set it aside?
Is there a story, lesson, or season of your life that feels unfinished—not unresolved, but unspoken?
When you think about writing, do you feel pressure… or a quiet pull?
Pay Attention to the Season
Are you in a season of healing, clarity, obedience, or preparation?
Does the thought of writing feel heavy—or does it feel like relief?
Have you sensed that this is not about visibility but about faithfulness?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Notice the Resistance (Without Judgment)
What concerns come up when you imagine beginning?
Is it time, confidence, permission, or fear of doing it “wrong”?
Are you waiting to feel ready—or simply to feel safe?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ask the Deeper Question
If no one ever applauded this work, would it still matter to you?
If writing were an act of stewardship rather than achievement, would that change how you see it?
Could this be less about publishing—and more about honoring what God has already done?
Sit With This One
What would it look like to explore this calling without pressure to finish?
Let the answers come slowly.
Some may arrive now. Others later.
This page is not asking you to decide today.
It’s helping you recognize whether this season is asking something of you.

Reassurance for Those Who Feel Unsure or Behind
If you feel uncertain, you are not alone.
Many who are called to write don’t arrive with clarity or confidence. They arrive with questions, pauses, and a sense that something
matters—but isn’t fully formed yet.
Uncertainty does not mean you’ve missed your moment.
It often means you are paying attention.
You may feel behind because life has required much of you.
You may feel hesitant because your story carries weight.
You may feel unsure because you’ve never been given permission to take this seriously.
None of these disqualify you.
This is not a space for rushing ahead or forcing readiness.
It is a place to acknowledge where you are without judgment.
Some seasons are for gathering.
Some are for healing.
Some are for listening before moving.
If writing feels distant or unclear right now, that does not mean the calling has passed.
It may simply mean the timing is still unfolding.
You are allowed to move at a pace that honors both your life and the work itself.
Legacy In Print exists to help stories come forward when the time is right. This page exists to help you notice whether that time is beginning—or still unfolding.
What This Page Is — and What It Is Not
This page is a place of discernment.
It exists to help you pause, listen, and notice what may already be stirring within you. It honors the reality that some callings
unfold slowly and with care.
This page is:
A space to reflect without pressure
An invitation to consider timing, not make a commitment
A moment to listen rather than decide
A gentle companion in a season of noticing
This page is not:
A requirement to begin writing now
A test of readiness or faith
A promise of outcomes or timelines
A push toward publishing or visibility
There is no expectation attached to your presence here.
You are not being evaluated.
You are not being rushed.
You are not being asked to decide more than you are ready to carry.
If you choose to take a next step later, it will be because clarity has formed—not because pressure was applied.
For now, this space simply honors the question.

Gentle Next Step Invitation
If you sense that this question deserves more space than you can give it on your own, you’re welcome to take a gentle next step.
Not to decide.
Not to commit.
But to listen more carefully.
Sometimes clarity comes through conversation—when questions are held without being hurried and seasons are honored rather than forced.
If that would be helpful, you may choose to explore this further in a quiet, guided setting connected to Legacy In Print.
There is no obligation in doing so.
Only an invitation.
If you’d like companionship in discernment…
