The Sea is Parted

Wow, went to the ACFW conference. Awesome experience even though I was a little overwhelmed. (Ok a lot overwhelmed) But I came away with some good info and hope for sending my books off to be looked at. I also realized I need to work on them. From my last post you saw that Pharaoh's army was chasing me, breathing down my neck and shouting -back to slavery and the 9-5 job -they shouted. I cried out to God and He sent my wonderful husband who told me when I got back from the conference to just concentrate on my writing for the next three months. Wow, talk about the sea parting. And I walked across on dry land - To the wilderness. So I embark on my journey in the writing wilderness to learn to set my schedule and keep it. To set goals and keep them. Mostly to follow the Lord morning, noon, and night. I'm working on Golden Dreams to get it ready and will start the new book - Bounty. And have an idea for another one. One day at a time, I will follow the Lord and gather the manna and quail daily (except for Sunday) And write. Thank You Lord - for you are truly a Great God and have given me a wonderful husband. Jim is truly the greatest treasure the Lord has given me and I love him. I am blessed and hope to be a blessing to others.

Following Through

Well, I finished my first book ever. And now I realize I am in the critical following through phase. Any one who's played in any sport knows that if you don't follow through the ball ain't goin' to go where you want it too. Don't ask me how I know that.) I met the goal and was pumped, but immediately fell off the mountain and haven't written. ARRRGH!!! So It's back to my schedule. I have managed to make some Business Cards (a major undertaking that had me ready to stomp on the computer. I will go and have them made from now on. But I do have enough to take to the ACFW conference.) And I made up my one sheets for Golden Dreams and my next book -- Bounty. My awesome father- in-law sent me a check for finishing my book. He's an awesome man of God and I am truly blessed to have him. Jim is visiting him this weekend and he took a copy of my book (the raw unedited version no less) and Jim told me today that his dad stayed up late and finished it. AND liked it.!!! WEll, enough for my update. Back to the schedule. Oh almost forgot. you know I left Egypt when I quit my job. But I hate to tell you Pharoah and his armies are hot on my tail. However, I take great Joy in remembering that the children of Israel also heard the enemy behind them. But God did not leave them. He made a way through the Red Sea so they could escape. So I am looking forward and sticking to what God has called me to do. I am not looking back, but straight ahead. Onward to the next book. . .
