How do you imagine my life to be?
Do you suppose it's filled with days of writing books from beginning to end; spa dates with friends and family; exotic vacations or shopping sprees spending that hard-earned advance?
That's what I'd like my life to be, but it's not. Sure I write daily but the words don't always flow as easily as I'd like. Spa dates are few and far between because I simply don't have a lot of time to spare when I'm writing on deadline (which always seems to be the case). I'm not complaining, however. I love what I do and I'd like to have a personal goal to publish 100 books before my life is over. Exotic vacations are what I live for, but there are times I travel so much that just being home is vacation enough. As for shopping sprees--that's always a dream of mine. First, I need to secure college tuition for my son, pay off my mortgage and make sure I have a little nest egg for the future.
My life may not be all that glamorous, but I'm content with my career and my personal life because I believe I am exactly where God would have me be. I do the very best I can and I just trust Him for the rest. I've sold 34 books to date and I'm thrilled, but mostly I'm grateful. I am a true testimony that if you seek God first, He'll give you the desires of your heart.
