My son is four and my dad was watching him so I could write. So many other things have happened and there have been times when all I could do was to ask God to give me more time to write and bring people to help me. He has done that. It continues to be a great struggle but all you can do is take one day at a time. Praying for you. That is great news! Blessings!

God will take care of all of the question marks of time, family and ability to get it written, but you already know that, because of what He has done for you in the past. It's going to be great and I am so glad to be able to watch your journey.Olga Wright Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297753300271332324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666056123399384315.post-74843758010809156572010-11-06T15:44:25.098-05:002010-11-06T15:44:25.098-05:00Wow.

Could you give us the title? It's been fun to share this journey with you and hear how God continues to lead you and walk with you each step of the way.<br /><br />I had good news this week too...a new two-book contract for a mini series with Steeple Hill. Then the next day I had a positive response from another publisher for a different proposal for a historical romance set during the Civil War. They were hoping I had a completed manuscript, but I only had the first three chapters. Still, the editor said she was very interested and she wanted to read it as soon as I finished. Need to write faster! : )<br /><br />I will be praying for the next steps with your Gem's Bible Study.<br />CarrieCarrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666056123399384315.post-37338057094903211852010-11-06T01:11:50.170-05:002010-11-06T01:11:50.170-05:00Congratulations!

If we can quickly recognize those rocks of the enemy's discouragement and stand on God's Word, we will never stumble over those hindrances. Great post and thoughts, Stephanie! And congratulations!
