Ellen Senechal
In early 2019, I posted my first-ever devotion on my blog, Ellen's Musings, and was surprised by the responses I received. A couple of my viewers went so far as to suggest I write a devotional book for teen girls. "Just think - a devotional for teens written by a teen. It'd be a bestseller," my mom urged.
I nodded and said, "I'll try." But my heart wasn't truly into the idea, so when my first attempt fell flat, I was all too ready to push the project away. I wasn't sure I'd ever pick it up again.
However, God clearly had other plans in mind for me.
In March of 2019, I was thrown into a whirlwind of events that left me drained, frustrated, and hurting. I needed time to heal, and cutting the Internet out of my life for over a month seemed to be the best way to do this.
During that time away, I picked up the computer, prayed for God's guidance, and wrote. Slowly but surely, "The Whispers God Gives" developed. God truly led each word penned in this devotional book, and I'm so very thankful.
Now, with the release date drawing near, I can't wait to give other girls the same opportunity I had to experience our Savior's tender, reassuring whispers, whether life be peaceful or hectic.
