GO.

Well, here we are. Book release week. The week I’ve been working toward for over four years.

It’s been a journey, that’s for sure. When people tell me how emotional it has been for them to read A Place to Land, I want to reply with, “Imagine what it was like trying to write it!” 😉

But I continue to thank God over and over again for the grace He has given to make this book become a reality.

Now it’s out of my hands and into yours.

A couple of years ago I asked an author friend what it was like to have her book in the world. Her response has stayed with me. She said it’s kind of like when your kids grow up and leave home. They’re still a part of you, but they’re adults now, and they have their own lives to live. She said releasing her book was like that for her. It sounded impossible to me at the time, but now it makes sense.

I’ve done my part. With God’s help and for His glory, I gave this book everything I had to give.

My role is done.

Now I get to sit back and watch the Lord do His thing, or maybe just keep trusting that He will even when I can’t see it or don’t hear about it.

It’s like that with most of the work we do, isn’t it? We do the very best we can in the Lord’s strength, and release our offering up to Him to do with it whatever He sees fit.

Because ultimately, it was always His anyway.

STOP.
