Deep Breath ~ I Finally Did It!

 

For many years I have been wanting to write a book and have been encouraged by many to do so. Although I absolutely love writing, for some reason writing something so very personal has been a challenge at best!  I found every excuse in the world to be too busy to sit down and write it!

 

A few weeks ago I finally gave in and decided that it WAS time!  I sat down with pen in hand and before I knew it, an outline came together beautifully.  It was like water pouring out of a pitcher as the thoughts, flow and structure just came together.  It was really exciting!

 

With a deep breath in I have officially submitted the manuscript and am awaiting word on it.  I have placed a few copies in some very trusted hands of friends for honest feedback.  Doing this was more difficult than I anticipated.  I guess that handing over something so personal is like handing over your baby to another person.

 

I do know that God has brought me through so much and give complete honor to Him with this project. His Word will not be returned void!  Isaiah 55:11.  So yes, it is with a very deep breath that I put this out there and have faith that whatever is supposed to happen to it so be it!

 

If you have ever been encouraged to write or have that nagging feeling to start that project, I encourage you to just jump in there and do it.  What a huge blessing it has been to me to see the project evolve and such a sense of satisfaction in seeing it finally completed. Many of you have been my inspiration in getting this project done so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

 

I will keep you posted on the progress!

Good morning Paula.  Just to get the courage to write about anything is an accomplishment.  Once it's published let me know..I'll buy one no matter what the subject.
