Get a Grip

I like this! "Send me some more like this and we can probably do an e-book" the editor stated.

I was so excited. I took the next months to edit and rewrite all 31 devotions.  That moment of truth had come for the manuscript was just an "enter" away on my computer. I said a prayer "Lord may these writings bless and others and may you get all the glory."

On January 2nd this past year I received in my inbox an e-mail from my editor, I breathed deeply and opened it. It stated "Elaine, our board passed on your Devotions proposal." They went on to give a statement of what they were looking for and some suggestions to my future writings.

My son is writes music for songs. He has experienced rejection too. It is not easy. What do you do when you experience rejection? You put your whole guts and passion into a project and you feel like you are not moving forward. 

Stop! Step back! Take a deep breath! Pray! 

God what is going these days?  Am I off track?  Am I doing the wrong thing?
 


"Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul" (Psalm 103:1-2b).

Be wise! Continue! Praise the Lord in all circumstances.


God brought you to this point. Have you been praying up to this point? Then why would God steer you wrong? There is the right people out there who will appreciate you and your work. Just wait! Wait till God shows you. Don't believe any other words. Trust God who put you on this path.


Maybe it is time to just praise and worship God and stop requesting what he should do. Just spend time with Him. Relax, God is not done yet!
