Stepping Out On The Water...
Well, I've done it now. What a year this is going to be!! 2008 is already filling up with new adventures and wild rides; I can already tell. My first mission trip... to SPAIN!!! in March, and I've written a BOOK, a children's book! Some of my kids/grandkids have read and heard this little tale of going to Nappy's House; a story told over and over again when my children were little ones and now it is written, I have a wonderful friend who has agreed to be my illustrator, and we are beaming with thoughts of possibilities and visions of children being peacefully lulled to sleep with this wonderful story. Today, I went to a Christian bookstore and looked through several children's books and jotted down some publishers and their addresses. When I got back to work, I wrote letters regarding my vision for this particular book about four children who journey down a long dusty road to Nappy's house... "deep within the forest down a path among the trees." I told said publishers that if they find what I've written to them interesting and want to know more, I will let them read my story. I hope one of them will be curious enough to get in touch with me, but it is in God's hands, isn't it? Well, just wanted you bloggy-types to get a glimpse into my heart for today. It's a happy one.
