So, most everyone who knows me knows that I am in the process of publishing my first book. It is a children's book, and I am almost too excited to stand the thought that in less than three months, I will hold a copy in my hand, read and share with the children I love to serve, and be able to say, I am an author.
I find myself, however, extremely intimidated by other authors. I hesitate to throw my name into the mix, and I am not looking forward to shamelessly making plugs and pleading for you to buy my book. I wish that part of the process could be avoided. In order for me to be a success, however, I am convinced it must be done.
That being said, I do hope my book sells well, and that the series of books I dream it to be will come become something bigger than I can even imagine or hope for. I know that I have the potential for great things, but somehow I feel I lack the confidence to be sure of myself.
I choose, therefore, to give this entire process and it's outcome to the Lord, as I do with every other thing that is of any importance in my life.I know under His watchful care that it will become what He wants it to be for me, and whatever that is, it will be enough. I will be content.
