When you write a book that finally gets published, you are so excited that you feel you have accomplished more than you could ever dream.

That isn’t where it ends. I have had so many comments through letters, phone calls, emails, and in person about my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” since it has been published. The comments are on how the book has helped them.

This is what writing is all about. You work hard to get your manuscript in good order, and then one day your work pays off. You get published. But, then the rewards of your labor start coming in when people make positive comments about your book.

Keep plugging away at writing that book. I know it’s hard work,  but in the end you will receive many positive rewards.

How do we we deal with pain that is around 24/7? I can relate to that because I have had chronic back pain for almost a month now.

God didn’t promise a rose garden. He didn’t say we would never face trials and storms. He did let s know that He will help calm the storms.

What we need to do is pray for comfort from God through our time in the muck and mire. He is there to hold our hand and be there for us. Never assume that God is far away. If you do, guess who moved.

Stay strong through your storms and you will be a positive example to others who are going through their own trials.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Why would you want to enter a contest with your book? It costs you some money and your chances aren’t very good.

That was my feelings until I entered the “Reader’s Favorite Awards,” contest. I think it cost me around $25.00.

The results turned out much better than I could have ever dreamed. I received a 5 star review, and was a finalist in the category of “Self Help.”

Because I was a finalist, I also received stickers to put on my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” It is now considered an award winning book, and I have sold many books by being able to show my 5 star reveiws and have an award sticker on the book.

Don’t pass up this kind of opportunity. Check out the people who put on the award to make sure the are for real, and then go for it.

My $25.00 investment paid off in a big way through many more sales because of the 5 star review and being named a finalist.

What happens when life doesn’t go our way? What do we do when the clouds come and darken our day?

I have been there. I have had many disappointments and failures in my life. At one  point I was overcome by all the trials and storms I had to go through, and was extremely depressed. I was to the point where I was sitting in my Ford Explorer, and considering suicide.

What stopped me, and changed my life?

As I sat in that rig crying my eyes out, I yelled out to God, ” I can’t take this anymore.” At that moment there was a calmness in my heart, and it was then I knew that God was saying, “It’s about time you cam back to me. Now let me carry you the rest of the way.”

God is never far away. If He is, guess who moved? My desperate prayer was heard and God saved my life.

Don’t ever give up. Always know that you have someone to turn to in your darkest moments.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Help Someone in Need During the Holidays

I have been invited by an agent to do a proposal for a series of books on hope. That is big news in itself, but it isn’t a done deal. I have to write a proposal that will knock her socks off, and want her to become your agent. I am in the process of putting that together, and it isn’t an easy job. I think there may be a few thousand re-writes to get it the way I think is presentable. Wish me luck, and I will update you on the progress, and the outcome.

As we approach the holidays-it is only 41 days until Christmas-we have thoughts of hope and love.

There are those who feel the opposite during this time. Some feel deep depression, and hopelessness.

How could this happen?

I have one example of a friend who just lost his wife recently, and will face the holidays without his wife for the first time. There are those who have lost their jobs, and can’t see a very bright Christmas coming for their children as far as getting them gifts.

I could go on with other examples, but you get the picture. What can we do to help?

My friend has had many families from the church invite him to come to their homes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. He is prayed for by many prayer warriors.

For those who don’t have a rosy Christmas coming because of a loss of their jobs, you can send gifts to their home without letting them know who did it, and brighten up their look on life.

Think about these things as we approach the holidays. Think, “What would Jesus do to help these people? Think, what can you do to help these people? Then just do it.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all..never,ever, give up!
