The Last of the “Somedays”: Why Writing a Book Can’t Wait

In 2013, we signed an author who was still early in the process of writing a book. Our team provided coaching and guidance, but she had yet to finish her book. Unfortunately, she unexpectedly passed away last week. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family.

I think I may be the only person who knows what she was going to write about, because I still have her notes and outlines. She had an awesome testimony: God redeemed her from a life in prison and was using her to rescue other women. I hate to think of an unfinished book because it feels very much like an unfinished life to me. Her kids, grandkids and future generations need to hear her story. People whom she never met could still be touched by her testimony now, and for years to come.

It can be difficult in the midst of our day-to-day to find time to devote to these tasks that seem so abstract, so “someday.” The truth, however, is that eventually our somedays run out, and for the most part only those things which we intentionally scheduled time for will be done.

If you have something that you want to do before you leave this life, please don’t wait until your time is up. Make time for it now! Make time for God, make time for your kids, make time to dance with your wife and make time to write what you want others to read! Make time now.
