BEAUTIFUL Sunday

[LynnMcMo]

Good afternoon!  Wow, what a gorgeous day this is.  It is like God knew just what it would take to make a perfect day, and he sent that sort of weather to Michigan. 

My husband is watching NASCAR while our 2 year old is napping and the older boys (ages 5 and 8) are playing in the backyard.  NASCAR is not really my thing (though it is better than watching basketball), so I am working on some writing stuff today.  I have a book that I am nearly finished with.  The manuscript is complete, and I am getting it ready to send off to an agent.  I cannot tell you how nervous that makes me!  My first two novels have been self-published.  I am pleased with them, but sales have not been wonderful.  If I want to make a living through my writing, I need to get into a traditional publisher.  Most of the Christian publishers only look at manuscripts through an agent, so I need one.  But it is a little scary to put my stuff out there.

Then again, I truly feel that writing is my gift.  I believe this is what God wants me to do, it is the ministry He wants me involved in.  If He plans for me to have an agent and contract with a traditional publisher, He will make it happen.  I am jsut trying had to keep my eyes on Him through it all!!
