Michelle your words are so powerfully and honestly expressed. I love the shock absorber imagery as it hits the nail on the head; any of us who has lived a few years knows that the trials don’t get smaller as we (and our families) grow older. But God has His way of equipping us not just for the task at hand but for the one that is just around the corner. You’re approaching the curve my sister, it’s just a matter of when…
You’re a fantastic writer. Whatever’s hanging up those proposals will have nothing to do with the quality of your writing and everything to do with the potholes the publishing industry’s experiencing.
This may not make you feel better, of course. We all love results and we want to make it happen. But while you’re waiting God is growing you into the writer you need to be when the moment arrives. Come visit your writer’s group for some more encouragement!
Thanks for the encouragement, friends. Your words added a jolt of air to those nearly-flat tires. 🙂
And Jane – I am hoping to come visit soon!
Your conclusion hits home with me, Michelle. Shocks can be tough to take in the best of times, but are really tough when we’re already feeling low. Hope you get a fill-up soon.
Tim
