Kara –

Haha! It had AMAZING beta readers!!! 😉 I couldn’t have asked for better.

And thank you, my sweet friend! It’s been so special getting to walk this road with you and share in the whole process. What a joy to see how your own stories are unfolding and how much heart and passion you pour into them. May God use them for his glory and bless you richly in the form of touched hearts from your readers!

That you have been able to chase the beautiful flickering diamonds of your dreams…and watch them shatter at your feet…and still find something beautiful among the pieces. You are such an encouragement to everyone you come in contact with. I am beyond blessed to have met you and to be able to live life with you. You have taught, shown and helped me to search after the dreams God has put in my heart, but still be willing to let Him mold this heart of mine.

Our Savior is going to do amazing things with and through you, I’m just ecstatic to get to be there to see it!

And the fact that TQS made History? Pffft. I’m not surprised at all. 🙂 You had some amazing beta readers 🙂

So very true, Rebecca. Thanks for sharing that!

Hello, Alicia! So nice to get to visit with you like this. 🙂 I’m honored that TQS is on your to-be-read list and I so hope it is a blessing to you, and that it truly might be the fruit of the brokenness. Thank you for that word picture. It’s a beautiful one!

This Quiet Sky is waiting for me on my Kindle, and I can’t wait to read it – this fruit of the brokenness that God brought into your life for good. Thanks for sharing your testimony of His “severe” grace – It was a blessing to my soul.

It was truly my pleasure to help, Joanne.

Your comment comes at the perfect time, of course. I’m just getting back to my writing after many months off. I have a game plan, one I feel God has instilled in my for the time being, and the blessings you mentioned? Well, that is currently coming in the form of a new determination to do the grown-up things that will help me step into my future. Growing up is hard to do at any age, but I’m glad I’m making this progress.

Thanks so much for the hug back.

Beth – thank you for that! It’s seriously infused me with such hope and peace which is such a gift after a hefty dose of fretting over whether or not to post this. 🙂 Thank you for being such a lovey example of graceful authorhood AND for being one of the brave souls that came alongside TQS and me from the start!

Bonnie – I love the way God speaks to us through worship music. Isn’t it an amazing thing?

Thank you for all of your encouragement and the prayers. They truly are such a boost to me. I hope that you are doing well and it’s been so beautiful to see how God has used you in His special way. Thanks for being YOU!

But, oh my friend, how this post has your voice woven through it … and how it has God’s fingerprints all over it.
And how beautifully you’ve offered hope to so, so many.
Me included.
