Countdown to a God-Given Dream Come True (Part 1)

Will you rejoice with me? God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose (NavPress, March 5, 2024) should be off to the printer as I write this!

What a long and winding journey it’s been to get to this place in my faith journey and writing career!

Ladies, lots of activity has been going on in the secret place to get this book ready for you.

God-Given Dreams is filled with encouragement, Bible verses, prayer starters and more to help spur you on as you dare to have the courage to live God’s plan for your life.

There’s been lots of praying and praising and dreaming with God.

There’s also been hours and hours at the computer throughout the year.

Writing. Editing. Revising. Proofreading.

Plans are underway for the marketing and promotion for the book’s spring release.

Plans are also underway for the audio version. More details to follow.

These are exciting times. Glory to God!

This audacious dreamer and doer is going into overdrive soon.

I’m realizing how much of a sprinter I am instead of a marathoner (figuratively speaking since I’m not much of a runner in real life).

When I see a to-do list that seems miles and miles long, I just want to bolt and start checking off all the tasks.

But I’ve learned the importance of pacing myself so I can persevere to the finish line of this particular race.

I’m a reflective person, so even now I’m taking time to stop and soak in all the steps in this particular book release journey.

What a difference it is to be gearing up for a book launch with the support of my wonderful editorial and marketing and publicity team.

Note: I said team.

I don’t get to say that much.

I’ve been on quite a solitary journey over the years.

I’m grateful to those who have stayed on this faith journey with me for years.

As I enter the marketing and promotional stage of this book journey, I’m reminded of my years as a communications specialist. I find it a bit surreal that I was the one doing media outreach and helping to coordinate media interviews for others.

I wasn’t thinking about writing books or being interviewed back then.

My writing was in hiding for years after God called me out of my journalism career.

But God had a plot twist for me.

Now I’m working on promotions for my upcoming book…

God has a sense of humor.

He’s been preparing me all this time for such a time as this.

Now this particular God-given dream is coming true.

And He’s been preparing you, His beloved daughter, for what He has in store for YOU!

I’m looking forward to continuing to encourage you as you walk by abounding faith, hope and love.

I hope you’ll preorder God-Given Dreams today for you and yours at any of the sites listed below.
