Your Words are Needed

March 29, 2018 by UnitedHouse Leave a Comment

 

Have you ever let fear stop you from doing something?

Have you been afraid of what people might think, of what will happen, of not being enough?

Being prone to anxiety myself, I can relate more than I’d like to admit. Sometimes I don’t want to go to work because I’m afraid of making mistakes or I hesitate to start a conversation because I’m nervous it will get awkward. As a writer and a blogger, I can’t tell you how much time I can spend on an Insta caption or wonder if something I write is too generic. Many times the right words refuse to come and when forced they feel empty. Sometimes the thoughts get muddled and I’m not even sure what makes sense outside my head anymore. Sound familiar?

Currently our culture is craving connection and purpose more than ever and is tired of living in fear.

This is precisely why you and your words are so needed.

It is undeniable that God’s actions are intentional. It means you—your gifts, talents, and words—are a product of His Love. Our omniscient God looked at the world and saw it needed the complex combination of reflections, quirks, strengths, and weaknesses that you have to offer. This is an earth-shattering reality that changes everything. If the God of the universe imagined and made you to be right here, right now, with these thoughts, and these experiences for a reason, the implications are huge. No one else can take your place. No one else can tell your story.

This is why we write. We do it because we see a broken world, and some experience or revelation has inspired a message we want to share. Once I began to see the magnitude of who I am in Jesus, it rocked my world and inspired me to share that reality through vulnerability and truth. I love hearing people’s stories, because the art of writing delves into the deeper part of humanity, the part that penetrates the superficial aspects of life and addresses the soul. Undeniably, the Holy Spirit works through words. We are called to be bold, fearless, and to share the truth and love to our society. We are called to live freely, knowing our worth in God and then share it. God placed you right here, right now, with your words, for a purpose. He thought of you and your gifts and knew that you were needed.

Be brave. Courageously embrace the incredible reality of who you are and whose you are, and know that your words are needed.

Testimonials

  • Taylor Phillips, author of Training Ground

    United House Publishing was 100% an answer to prayer. I knew that God called me to write books, but I wasn't in a good position to publish according to certain industry expectations. I continued to be faithful, knowing God would make a way. AND HE DID. United House is such a champion for the underdog—for the one who doesn't have a huge platform but wants to be obedient to God. I was so blessed by the process from start to finish. From the heart and help of the revision team, to editing, coaching, and everything in between. United House was, and is, an incredible company to be part of!

  • Bridget Singleton, author of Mimo’s Welcome

    United House Publishing is absolutely GREAT to work!  I previously published a book alone... and it was so hard.  But UHP gives support like no other!  When they say they are praying over you and your work, you KNOW it!  The author coaches I have worked with have been awesome.  Not only do they help you set and crush your writing goals, they also help you pursue wellness in all aspects of your life, and you can't put a price tag on that!

  • Wendy Perry, author of The Battle Within

    God gave me the words to write a book and then He sent me to the perfect place to publish it—United House Publishing! The thought of editing and publishing a book was new and overwhelming. However, through God's peace and directing me to UHP the whole process was made easier. I felt "safe" and "at ease" sharing the story God gave me to UHP, because they treated me and my manuscript with respect. I'm thankful I obeyed God and worked with UHP to publish my very first book.

  • Gina Rodriguez, author of Teacher Tired

    As a person who has NEVER considered herself a writer, it is no shock I was in need of help when I felt led to publish my first book.  I am so blessed that I was referred to UHP.  I started my writing journey so afraid of the process, not sure where to start or what to expect. It was such a huge relief to have a team of authentic writers, editors, mentor me along the way as I pushed back fears of intimidation that tried to stop me.  With UHP I found my writing voice. The monthly coaching calls were especially important to keep me going when idleness or doubt crept in (because it will).  Having UHP to pray with me, refine my writing skills and keep me accountable made all the difference between beginning to write a book to actually finishing it!

  • Jessica Bishop, author of Collision

    The reason why I love UNITED HOUSE Publishing is because all you have to do is write, and they take care of the rest. It's simple and I LOVE IT!

  • Dianne Wyper, author of Shattered

    UNITED HOUSE Publishing has been like the roadblock-remover to my dreams and my calling. It's because of them that I have got to become all I have dreamed of: An Author!
