Summer vacation begins...

As I rested my head on the pillow last night I relaxed in the knowledge there would be no alarm to wake me up at 4:45 a.m. A fabulous feeling. At 6:15 a.m. my eyes opened slightly, long enough to see it was too early to be awake. I closed my eyes, snuggled in and went back to sleep. By 7:00 a.m. I was awake and the smell of coffee was filling the house and helping to open my eyes. The house was quiet so I opened my Bible, sipped my coffee and enjoyed some time with a dear friend in prayer, worship and study.

Refreshed and full of the Holy Spirit I got dressed and started to putter around the house. Although the bedroom is complete, the overflow has settled in the living room and our entry way. Some of the items have been delivered, recycled and organized while others are staring me down while I work on the blog. My goal was to have the entire house organized and clean so when I got up this morning I only had to worry about writing. I didn't quite make it but I will for tomorrow morning.

In the past I have posted my goals. I do this for a couple reasons. 1st - it holds me accountable with God and all of you. 2nd - it helps you to know how you can be praying for me and my writing.  Since I'm spending my summer "working" as a writer, I want to share my goals with you once again through the blog. Thank you in advance for your continued prayers and support. The notes, emails, and prayers always inspire me!

Yesterday's Writing Accomplishment:    Finished Chapter 10 revisions

Today's Writing Goal:  Print a copy of all my blogs since July 2010 when I started. Email chapter 10 revisions to my friends helping me edit. 

Tomorrow's Writing Goal:  start chapter 11 revisions, attend memoir writing class and work on some of the blogs I've started for future use

Prayer Request:  Continue to pray for the agent and publisher God has for this book. Join me in praying for those who will read my book when it is published, that they would see God's hand and working in my life and find healing in his Again, thank you all for following my blog and for your prayers. Your emails, posts, and notes of encouragement and prayers lift me up on a daily basis.
