The better part of my days lately are spent with minimal make up (if any at all), hair that needs washing and me curled up on my couch with my laptop as I work on my next book. What fun! No really…it is totally fun for me.
This message I’m typing out intimidates me and even locks me up in writer’s block on a regular basis. I believe so much in this message and I’m freaked out I won’t do it justice…I will let God down. I must keep telling myself that thought process is a LIE and I must be brave and just jump in everyday to get words on the page. Little by little this book is coming together and boy am I convicted each day to practice what I preach!
I can’t wait to share more with you! But in the meantime, would cherish your prayers that the thoughts gel together, my heart stays true to what I know God has laid before me and that I can just be a big girl and get the job done by my deadline.
So between now and September 30 my time here on this blog will be sporadic at best. But please know that you are on my mind as I work through this message which God has given me the opportunity to publish. I keep your stories you’ve shared with me over the years, you pictures and faces close to my heart and I write for YOU, hoping that this book will challenge and encourage you to make Jesus famous in every part of your life. (Hint…hint…that’s part of the book!)
I will be back soon. But in the meantime, I would love for you to stay connected to my LIVE IT OUT! Facebook group as I pop in over there from time to time.
What are you up to lately? Would love to check back in the comments to hear about your life lately as a great diversion from writing…cause everyone needs a good reason to procrastinate, right?!?
Leave a comment! Can’t wait to hear…
Thank You! While I am not published and do not have a deadline to meet I am “with you” as I feel I have been called to prepare a study for my group of 60 Bible Study ladies. It is exciting, fun and vary scary all at the same time. I am trying to remain true to what I believe I am called to do by the Lord. Can’t wait to see what the Lord has you write……
Mary! What a great project you have before you. Wow. I love hearing how women have heeded to God’s leading and walk in obedience to allow Him to use them to touch people’s lives. Yes!
Normally when people are like “What are you up to in life” I’m like “same old stuff as always” BUT right now I’m in a huge transition phase. Tomorrow is my last day at one of my freelance jobs and then next week I’m moving across the country to live with my parents again for the fall because in January I’m leaving on the World Race–a mission trip to 11 countries over 11 months. This means in addition to working my other freelance jobs, I’m also fundraising, saying good-bye, planning a t-shirt sale as a fundraiser, trip leading, writing an ebook as a fundraiser, ok you get the point… Life’s fun, scary, exciting, and unnerving all at the same time right now.
Wow Katie. This is so exciting. I can totally see how you would feel about scared or unnerved as this is such a big leap of faith to take! Wow! It sounds like you are allowing God to do big things in your life…yes!
Wow, Sarah, what an exciting time!
I have been blogging for just under a year and am just starting to edit my first book. But I am facing a new chapter in my life where I will hopefully have more time to dedicate to my blog and book as my youngest starts school full time. After 9 years of being a full time mum and caring for little ones this is hugely exciting!
Love your blog and look forward to your forthcoming book. Blessings
