IMPACTED Story
Stacy Thomas • Surrendered
Surrendered To Write
God works in such amazing and beautiful ways. In 2011, I attended a worship service where I heard the Lord tell me I would one day write a book.
Quietly, I chuckled and thought to myself, Yeah, right. I don’t even have a journal.
Though I never had a desire or skill to write, God thought differently. When given the opportunity to be a contributing author in Surrendered: Yielded With Purpose, I agreed at the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I had been working on a book, and I thought writing for Women World Leaders would be a hindrance.
Boy, was I wrong…
Working alongside these gifted women was a refreshment to my soul and has impacted my life in so many ways!
This book mission super-charged my passion to share my testimony. God used this experience to encourage my writing and grow my confidence as I shared pieces of my story that had been protected in the depths of my heart.
The book launched on my 52nd birthday and was elevated to Best Seller as the day progressed. Excitement took over, and I began planning book signings and bookstore interviews. Book signings provided opportunities to share the gospel and encourage others. A local Christian magazine featured my book, allowing it to further travel the Florida Panhandle.
Surrendered is currently being sold in a local coffee shop, along with other Women World Leaders best-selling books! The coffee shop is located on the beach, attached to a Transitional Living Ministry. Visitors from all over the world visit and purchase these stories of God’s love. Readers have expressed their gratitude for this book and shared the impact on how they’ve experienced God along the way.
I am grateful to God for His grace, mercy, and love. He continues to prove over and over that He does not make mistakes and His plan is perfect. Surrendered: Yielded With Purpose has impacted my personal growth as a writer and provided encouragement along my personal journey. My prayer for this book is that it continues to impact lives, especially mine, and bring others into a deeper relationship with Christ—a beautiful relationship that will provide assurance that we are never alone.
