Tomorrow is the last day.

Not “sometime soon.” Not “when you feel ready.” Not “next chance.”

TOMORROW.

The window for the Dear Daughters Anthology closes, and with it closes the opportunity to step into something God may have been nudging you toward for longer than you’ve admitted.

“To every thing there is a season…” — Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

And seasons don’t wait for hesitation.

This isn’t just about being a co-author.
This is about obedience.
This is about stewardship of your story.
This is about refusing to let fear have the final say over what God already redeemed.

Because your testimony isn’t just your history...it’s someone else’s survival guide.

And if you’ve been sitting on the edge, debating, overthinking, shrinking back…hear this clearly:

The door doesn’t stay open forever.

Tomorrow, it closes.

No extension.
No “I’ll do it later.”
No second guessing after the moment passes.

Just the echo of what you were meant to step into.

If God brought you here, it wasn’t by accident.

Don’t miss your moment.

Publishing a book can make you question everything…especially when the “support system” you thought would be there goes quiet.

But hear this: God never called you to build in isolation.

“Two are better than one.” Ecclesiastes 4:9 KJV

If you’ve been feeling the weight of doing this alone, this message is for you. There’s more to this story...and a place for you in it.

Publishing a book can feel surprisingly lonely...like you are carrying something sacred with no one beside you. But God never designed you to build in isolation. You were meant for community, encouragement, and covering. If you have felt that gap, you are not alone. Join our FREE Facebook group for....

There was a season where everything stacked against me. 🖤

I left abuse.
I lived on my mother’s couch.
I was suspended from college.
I lost friends who couldn’t handle my healing.
And my parents divorced while I was already trying to hold myself together.

It looked like my life was done.

But God. 🕊️

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.” — Psalm 34:19 KJV

That “BUT GOD” is the reason I am not just surviving…I am standing.

And here is what I need you to hear:

Your story is not something to bury in shame.
It is something to release in obedience. 🔥

Because somewhere, someone is still living in the chapter you have already survived…

And your testimony may be the very thing God uses to lead them out.

That is why Dear Daughters Anthology exists.

🕊️ A place where women stop shrinking their pain and start stewarding their testimony
🕊️ A place where your story becomes strength for someone else’s survival
🕊️ A place where God gets the glory through everything you thought disqualified you

You are not too broken.
You are not too late.
You are not too far gone.

You are called to speak.

Join us and share your testimony: https://bit.ly/4bK6H4t (Link in bio)

Because your “BUT GOD” might be someone else’s breakthrough.

At some point, you have to stop overthinking and start obeying. 🔥

You can keep questioning, delaying, and wondering “what if”… or you can take the leap and step into what God has already been nudging you toward.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5 KJV

Joining the Dear Daughters Anthology isn’t about having it all figured out...it’s about saying yes and trusting God with the outcome.

This is your moment.

Some of you know church.
Some of you know religion.
But some of you know what it feels like to sit in darkness so thick you can barely breathe.

This episode is for those people.

From addiction, trauma, fear, dysfunction, and spiritual darkness…to the life-changing deliverance only Jesus Christ can bring, Annetta Caldwell’s testimony is raw, unfiltered, and POWERFUL.

The enemy told her she would never escape.
God said otherwise.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can still rescue people from the pit… this conversation will remind you that the tomb is still empty, chains still break, and Jesus Christ is still setting captives free.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32 KJV

Today we remember...and we don’t take it lightly. 🇺🇸🔥

Memorial Day is not just a long weekend. It is a sacred pause to honor the men and women who laid down their lives so others could live in freedom.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13 KJV

This kind of sacrifice should shift how we live. With gratitude. With purpose. With a deeper awareness that freedom always costs something.

So today, we don’t just remember...we honor by living intentionally, loving boldly, and refusing to waste what others gave everything for.

Take a moment. Reflect. Pray. Remember.

This verse is a reminder that joy is not found in outcomes....it is found in alignment with the Father’s will.

For self-published Christian authors, this matters more than you think.

Writing your book will not always feel “perfect,” “easy,” or “fully understood” by others. But when your heart is aligned with God...when you are walking in obedience rather than approval...there is a deeper joy that sustains the process.

You are not writing to impress people. You are writing from a place of surrender, where God can take your obedience and turn it into impact.

Even Jesus rejoiced in spirit when He was aligned with the Father’s work.

So if you are writing your book in obedience, even while it feels stretching, unseen, or uncertain...there is joy available in the assignment itself.

Not because it is easy…but because it is His.

Still struggling with the decision to join Dear Daughters?

Can I say something lovingly but honestly?

What if the hesitation isn’t actually about writing…

What if it’s about visibility?

Because after speaking with women and authors over the last several weeks, one thing has become painfully clear:

So many women are carrying powerful stories, testimonies, and God-given messages…

…but they are terrified:

nobody will care,
they’ll be judged,
they’ll fail publicly,
they’re not qualified enough,
or they’ll have to figure it all out alone.

And honestly?
Many women already HAVE felt alone in this journey.

Unsupported.
Overwhelmed.
Unsure where to start.
Trying to carry the vision by themselves.

That is exactly why Dear Daughters was created.

Not just to help women write.

But to remind women:
🕊️ you do not have to carry your story alone anymore.

Fear says:
“Wait until you feel confident.”

But obedience says:
“Trust God enough to move anyway.”

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV

Your testimony was never meant to stay trapped in survival mode.

There is another woman connected to your obedience.
Another woman connected to your transparency.
Another woman connected to your healing.

And maybe…
just maybe…
your story becomes the thing that reminds someone else they are not alone either.

🕊️ Applications for Dear Daughters close May 31, 2026.

If God has been nudging you, stirring you, stretching you, and calling you deeper…

stop waiting to feel “ready.”

The question is not:
“Am I qualified enough?”

The real question is:
“Will I keep hiding what God asked me to steward?”
