You may never get to the end of all these wonderful encouragements to read this, but I wanted to let you know I am so excited for you. I too know what it is like to be pregnant with a book (my experience) and to feel God give birth to it within you. What a blessing to be given an avenue, by Him, in His timing for His purposes. He will use this to bless others, you can be sure. He does His work in us, and we are called to testify of that work. He calls us (and leads us) to encourage other believers. I pray He will continue to inspire you and to use even this book writing process to help you grow in dependence upon Him. When the words and thoughts flow like water from a spring, praise Him. When you are dry and the thoughts seem muddled and stuck in your heart without proper expression, praise Him. Fix your eyes on Him, not on deadlines, not on readers — on Him. He Who begun this marvelous work in you will complete it. Thank you for your example of courageous obedience to your call in stepping past fears of rejection to let your gifts be used by Him. No doubt this will be a blessed endeavor.

Glad you picked it up! I am reading it through for the second time because there was so much in there that spoke directly to the crisis I am finding myself in right now.
I have never been to a Women of Faith conference. Did you get special seats? I am a new fan of Sheila Walsh but I don’t know much about her or her story.
I attended a Beth Moore Living Proof Live in Baltimore last month. Last year I made a connection with a woman at one of Beth’s conferences and we have continued an online friendship. I had no idea she travels with Beth to all of her events and is the leader for all of the altar calls.
Anyways, when I told my friend I was hoping to see her at the upcoming LPL in Baltimore, she emailed me back and said she reserved special seats for me! What an incredible gift….no waiting in line! Then she told me that she shared my story with Beth Moore and that I should sit on the end of the row where she had me reserved. I was so nervous the entire two days of that conference, afraid that Beth was going to single me out like she does with people in the audience sometimes. I mean, I like attention, but not quite THAT much.
But she didn’t call me out. She mentioned me and my son’s battle with cancer during her last session, but didn’t use my name.
Sorry for the eternal reply! Love you!
