I've done that so many times! <br /><br />Janice, it is so important that we take that step of faith after praying. If we don't, we don't go anywhere. <br /><br />And Judy, yes, many people couldn't figure out how I went from diving into teaching to writing historical romance. <br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by ladies. This is a journey I never expected to be on, and often I don't have clue what I'm doing, but God does.

I was lucky enough to get part way through it before it was published but computer glitches between your PC and my Mac did now allow me to finish!! I hope to soon. Congratulations and I hope you sell many, many more novels. You have a true, God given gift.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20<br /><br />That is what I keep praying for. . . what does the Lord what me to do? We moved to this area for my husband's job 14 years ago. I had multiple strokes two years after we moved here. I found out I have a rare antibody in my blood which makes the blood thick and also causes lupus. I was paralyzed and could not talk. I had to quit working, we had to quit teaching Sunday School, and quite leading bible study. It just became too much for my injured brain. I spend time daily with the Lord reading His Word and in prayer. <br /><br />His Word got me through my multiple strokes---the paralysis, not being able to talk, depression, and short-term memory loss. He brought His Word to me. . . I would repeat it over and over. "Trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own circumstances; acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." I did not even know it was scripture because my stroke wiped out all my memorized scriptures and my short-term memory. One day I came across the words I kept repeating. I found it in Proverbs 3:5 & 6.<br />Today I am able to talk and also able to use my paralyzed side. I am now able to walk my dog, work out, do planks, lift weights, push-ups, wall sits, and dips . . and yes, mow the lawn. :-) I praise the Lord and give Him the Glory!!<br /><br />I wondered how you went to writing fiction after receiving your teaching certificate. Now I know! :-) It was the Lord!!<br /><br />I am so excited for you, Collette! I'm looking forward to reading your book, whether I am lucky enough to receive the free e-book or if I purchase it when it becomes available.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318529541456046587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-28340711110016320672013-04-11T09:46:17.297-07:002013-04-11T09:46:17.297-07:00I pray then after I wait I step out on faith and g...I pray then after I wait I step out on faith and go for it. <br />Looking forward to having my name in the pile.<br />Janice IanJanice Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-52158685711188874072013-04-10T18:22:51.198-07:002013-04-10T18:22:51.198-07:00Pray, argue a little, pray, make excuses, pray, pr...Pray, argue a little, pray, make excuses, pray, pray, pray.
