First Book Event - June 15th

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

In November of 2011, I started saving some files to "back up" my Web site again - www.godlygirlsforgod.com - and I got an idea. 

I have lots of ideas, but it's rare that I finish most of them. It's truly God's will that drives them to the finish line when it does finally happen. GGFG was an idea itself that has lasted - started 9 years ago, we really could have been just another made by girls, for girls site that faded after 6 months... but we weren't. We have had ups and downs, but there's always that one email that comes in asking for advice that keeps me committed to making GGFG one of the best places for girls to go online for encouragement in their walk with God. So, that may have made my new idea less crazy. I turned to my husband and said, "I'm going to publish a book."

Holding it in my hands in April 2013, I thought back through the last year and a half. I had edited, and edited, and edited... I had recruited others who edited. I had re-written my introduction a million times, and didn't like half of what I'd said. It seemed messy, disorganized, and utterly impossible.

I will share more about that journey in this blog. But for now, I'd like to share one more idea: I wanted to get 20 books into the hands of the girls at a local group home, Pendleton Place. I didn't have the funds for that. One week and a half after that idea, 5 people made it possible. Now on June 15th, I'll get to give these books to these girls. I am still dancing around every time I think about how God has provided! I'm going to be able to speak to them briefly. This is my first speaking engagement, if you will - I've spoken to a youth group, I've spoken to young adults in Cru Bible studies, but this is new to me. I am excited to share what God's done in my life with these young ladies!!!
