It Just Keeps Getting Better

Thrilled by the news that my book, The Complete Leader's Guide to Christian Retreats, was coming out 4 months earlier than expected, I emailed all my faithful supporters to share my exciting update. Then this week I got word that my book will be the inside front cover of the Judson Spring 2009 catalog. Wow! For the most part I'm overwhelmed with gratitude...to God, to Judson, to my family and friends and people I met along the way who helped the book take shape. And as much as I'm starting to feel a little anxious about living up to the expectations related to this book, I find that I can laugh off the nerves and know it will be all good because this book has been such a God-thing from start to finish. And I know God's not even finished yet! For a girl who prefers a peaceful, even keel, the energy of being full speed ahead is feeling pretty natural. Who woulda thunk? Thanks, God!
