Thanks for sharing your journey and the importance of stewardship. I will keep all of these in mind as I ready for my book yo publish.

That's the SDG that I use at the end of all my posts and all my books that have been published. Glad to see someone else loved this idea too. It was a epiphany for me. Love this. God bless your journey.

Trusting the reader to hold your words with a full and kind perspective is incredibly hard as it all goes into the world. I was surprised overtime how I realized letting go wasn’t about my concern for someone liking me, but understanding me. It is an ongoing work of release and resting in the arms of the One who truly understands all our parts and pieces. Well done as always, my friend!

THIS. Wise words and ones you wouldn't have been able to write 10 years ago either. I need to print this out and read it for motivation. Thank you!

Thank you for this! The parts that really hit for me were: when your words are in the hands of others and when you wishes you could have written this book 10 years ago but you wouldn’t have had the words.

This article was a big encouragement and very grounding.

I appreciate your insight. I also love the book. My son and I met you in Fort Wayne. It was such a privilege to meet you. We both enjoyed the evening tremendously !! Keep up the great work. To God be the glory !
