Light Within Cobblestones 

Will Be Online This Week!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just days away from Light Within Cobblestones goes online and there is much to do. I’m sharing these things to both encourage other authors and to inspire those struggling with the same technology and life issues that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it leads to success if you doggedly stick with the plan. Live always throws a curve ball. You just have to learn how to catch and release as you go.  If you are writing a secular book, be encouraged, you can be successful if you keep going. Always be prepared to learn something new. If you are writing a Christian themed book and you are Christian, you know as well as I do where to go to sustain your inner strength when it seems that there is no way forward for you. I know without a doubt the day God called upon me to do this it would happen the way He wanted it to happen. I believed from the start this was no ordinary call. I did not understand that it might cause as much trials as possibly could be thrown at me once I agreed in my heart and mind to do what God asked of me. But through it all the message has endured. The message has changed me in ways that are difficult to explain at times but the book speaks in ways that will tell on me without my having to say much more than that. I failed a hundred times as I moved towards the day the book would finally come to fruition. I see now why it is now that it is finished and not weeks after the inspiration.

The time between the inspiration and goal has been long and arduous but finally we have arrived at the pinnacle.

Along the way has been walls of dissent. Distractions and life events that did everything to stop me from completing this project were daunting. Jobs ending, lack of knowledge, health issues, family issues. Pain, anger and disappointments thrown into my path to stop the process. Deviled by life by one obstacle after another I arrived finally this year at the doorstep of the right people who wholeheartedly came on board to bolster the process and cover it with prayer as well as to pave the way and eliminate those obstacles from stopping the process.  The path says much to me that I have managed to push past all that has gone before me to hinder this project and keep going until the time has arrived to send the book out into the world and let others decide if it is a good tool and a good example of God’s Word.

On the other hand knowing I will be judged is a little scary at times. I say stuff and sometimes it is not obvious I am a child of God. This will be a bit of a hurdle. Funny that I know now that this is not the only book and that once the core of Light Within Cobblestones was finished that God would say, ok get started on the next one. Fortunately I’m gung ho for the whole write for God assignment. Diamonds In The Dirt is a bit different it is not in the same style. It will show up in its due time as well.

God seeded a mighty desire in me to never give up and he will do the same for you if you look to Him for every need.
