UPDATE:
Thank all of you so very much for your exuberant responses to the book cover! I’m pretty stoked myself, but it makes it so much more real to celebrate with you. The book is not releasing until February 1, 2010. Don’t worry, you’ll hear me shrieking when the thing is actually on a shelf. Truer still, you will probably find me sobbing on the floor in a fetal position at the Chattanooga Life Way. Just step over me and buy the book, ‘kay? :))
Y’all are so precious!
*******************************************************
There are some things just too enormous for words. Indeed, in this case, a picture is worth a thousand of them. Or more like 49,000. The photo I am about to show you embodies a mixture of dream and providence. What an amazing thing when the two collide. And now, allow me to introduce you to my newest baby.

It looks amazing! Praise God for His goodness in seeing you through each step of the way!
I recently heard someone say, “We give good gifts to our children and take great joy when we see them playing with them and enjoying them. (In other words, we don’t take it away from them and tell them that they aren’t allowed to enjoy it – or that they are being prideful.) In the same way, God takes joy when He sees us enjoying the gifts that He blesses us with.” So enjoy this gift!! He is rejoicing over you!

My heart about burst out of my chest when I saw this on my feed. I am sitting here about to cry because I am so proud of the Lord using you. You are so unique and real. Years ago I would have been jealous of someone I know that has written a book and that God was using in amazing ways. Through God allowing me to be sifted like wheat, and I mean sifted…I could not be more proud of my Lord showing His might on your behalf. It takes so much courage to put yourself out there and you have had such humility. I say that with all my heart. I love you!!!
