GOD IS SO GOOD! I have several praises to share!! First, this is a very exciting day for me. I just sent my contract to Winepress to be published!!! Eric and I have felt lead to self-publish. It is a big step of faith, but we/I am having to apply my book!“ “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” I had to read Heb.11 this week to get a little boost when of course the doubts came flying in my mind! I told many of you I felt like a pregnant missionary with twins! Birthing the book and journal has been and continues to be quite a process. We are also self-publishing so there is high risk, high reward…So keep me in mind this summer (presales) or fall to come speak and share my books!!
God has been with me/us every step of the way. Thank you for all your prayers, encouragement, questions, keeping my kids, etc. All of you have kept me going!
Please don’t stop praying!! Please pray for my editor who will probably have quite a challenge on her hands. J Also, for my project manager, publicist and whoever else lays their eyes on my book.
God has been so personal. I could tell you endless stories. Last Thursday, I was on my way to church for MOMS group and as I pulled my CD out, a non-Christian station was playing a song on the radio called “Unwritten.” Well, we usually just listen to Christian radio so I’d never heard the song before. Of course, I had goose bumps and started crying. If you have a minute go out and listen!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lFXy5bIiSA
It was such affirmation and a perfect opportunity to share with the ladies at MOMS what God was up to in my life. I think you will enjoy it. I apply a more spiritual meaning to the lyrics, not sure the artist is a Christian… the lyrics say…“Release your inhibitions. Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find. Live with you arms wide open…Today is where your book begins.”!!!! Look closely at the video…at the end there is a dove, the book is climbing a mountain…(which I certainly have felt!) The pages fall down on people..God will write His word, His love, however He chooses to use the book/journal on hearts!
The next steps will be setting up my new weblog at http://sarahbush.authorweblog.com. But I think I will keep this one to circulate to more people. I’ll be getting a photo for the book and log, etc. I am not sure of a projected date, but we are praying for next Sept. My MOMS group and women’s Bible study have asked me to teach my book next fall!
Thank you again for all your prayers!
Much love…
Thankful for you and praying too for you.
