Where Was God In All This?
Well, I went through that whole Journey of Publication series without ever mentioning God. It wasn't an oversight, nor was He missing from that journey. It was a conscious decision to wait and tell this part of the journey separately.
I'd been taught since I was a wee little lass to give everything to God. Everything. Myself, my loved ones, my relationships, my worldly goods, my decisions, my pride, my desires, my everything. Needless to say, I haven't always done what I was taught.
Bit by bit, though, I would lay down certain areas of my life and give them to Him (usually the areas I had tried to control and had then failed miserably at). Eventually I caught on: It was best to give Him these things right from the get-go so He could run them.
After all, His perspective was so much better. He had a heavenly view of the whole sha-bang. I had a teeny-weeny view of only what was in front of my nose. He had the power. I had control over zilch. He knew what was best for me. I only thought I knew what was best for me.
So when I started my writing career way back in the early nineties, I gave that career to Him. It was in His hands. He could do with it whatever He wanted. Amen.
Tomorrow, what happened after the Amen.
