About Teresa lynn

"I am a communicator and gatherer. I was washing dishes the first time God gave me words that had to be written down and shared. The material kept coming.

It seemed almost every time I opened the Bible, I would see things like "Write the Vision," "According to their writing," "Gather," "Written in the book," and on and on." God was speaking through his word.  

The only problem with being called to write was that I needed to learn how to write a book. I was terrible in the beginning. The better my writing becomes, the more I see the need for improvement. Thankfully, God is perfect, so I do not have to be. 

I realized that I was called to write in 2005. God doesn't require perfection, but the Bible does say to study and show yourself approved. Since recognizing my calling, I obtained a bachelor's degree in religious studies and a master's in ministry. Not to mention reading God's word and having amazing mentors. 

I learned more about Jesus from my mentors than I did at school. My education also helped me to better understand those who do not share a Christian Worldview. Education taught me to look at things differently. Before college, I viewed the world from a narrow lens.  

It is a beautiful and wonderfully frustrating journey. Lately, I have been perturbed at my lack of ability to grasp the concept of building a platform to share the words God gave me. My profession is in the sales field. Selling something like a tangible book should be easy. It is not easy for many reasons. I was ready to give up. Why write books if nobody will see them? Is God in this if I'm not selling the books I write? Did I understand the assignment? All of those thoughts were in my head. 

   A dear soul who happens to be a professional in the book industry said,  

        {You have it wrong. Stop worrying about the products. It is not about that. It is about building up a congregation. It is about sharing what you have to offer with the world. You are not selling. You are sharing. The products are simply a way for like-minded people to connect.}

That resonated with me. As a communicator, my job is to write, speak, teach, and communicate in whatever way makes sense. As a gatherer, my job is to connect people. My job is to share the good news of the gospel of Christ." Teresa Lynn
