Oh, this book project has been a roller coaster ride! Painting and lettering the pages was the easiest part–even though I re-did them three times (not counting the “re-do” of cover and title pages). I have learned so much. Now as I prepare to send off the last bit of text to my publisher, I am reminded of my goal of wanting to influence the generations to come. I want to be “a mother in Israel” (Judges 5:7)—one who is a repairer of the broken walls, (Isaiah 58:12)– a landmark preserver.(Proverbs 22:28) I am praying that these pages are used by God to help boys and girls and their parents to grasp and pursue a vision of a life lived for Jesus.
As my father would say, I’ve “flubbed around” and managed to run down many trails that led nowhere. But, God is good. He has faithfully directed me and so today, I am ready to send the text to my publisher and expect that I will be seeing a “real” book sometime in the near future. I’m excited to know what you think about it. I’ll keep you posted—watch for my new website, coming soon— so you can order your own copies for the loved little ones in your life.
Question: What do you think of the pages?
