Now that the semester is winding down and I'm about to take my last 2 finals I can finally foresee some time to concentrate and work on my book! Wednesday and Thursday next week are going to be dedicated to nothing but working on the book.
For those of you on my newsletter list (it is addressed and just about ready to go, I just need to add stamps and actually mail on Monday) you will soon read a quick update, but those loyal blog readers that are not on my list (I'm sorry but I have to limit it to 40 for now...I'm in seminary after all! In January I'm going to try and post it here though) will have to wait.
My fervent hope is to have the book finished by my birthday (mid March). That is not all that long from now, especially considering everything else I hope to accomplish in that time: take 4 grad classes-complete 2 of them(they are online and 8 weeks long), send out my resume to LOTS of people, interview and hopefully secure a job, find an apartment in the city where my new job is, continue working with Angels n' Camouflage, lead a Bible study, and somewhere in there I need to sleep once in awhile! But, my goal is still to finish the book by mid March of 09.
So far I am through what many would consider the hardest section emotionally, but I don't actually agree. For me, the most emotional times come later, when God is teaching me just how much I have to forgive, and I realize just how much He has forgiven me. Those moments were some of my most emotional ever. To think that what I did to God is WORSE than what my rapists and attackers have done to me just floored me. But, you will have to pick up the book once it is published to read more!
Once I finish my book I will post a (copyright protected!) excerpt, and I pray that you will each want like 5 copies of the book!!!
The book is coming along, I am excited to have 2 days just to write next week, I have missed it these past weeks as I've had concentrate on the here and now activities of the end of the semester. As I work on the book and journey back through the last almost 7 years I'm so thankful to have made it through and to be able to say that "God is awesome" and that He really can pull us out of a despair that is so dark, a dark hole has more light! God can penetrate anywhere and bring light to the darkest soul, bring healing to the most broken person. I'm proof that God is at work every day, and my life is all because of Him.
So, that is the update! Have a great 2nd Sunday in advent y'all.
