I smile when I look at that sign. It is an answer from God when I have a question.
“God, will spring come to Colorado Springs?”
God: “Believe.”
“God, will I ever be a published author?”
God: “Believe.”
“God, can our nation get back to its firm roots?”
God, “Believe.”
Sometimes it is easy to believe, but in the deep, painful places it is hard. When the believing stretches on for twenty plus years and I ask, “When God?”
His answer is still, “Believe.”

LOL! You and I have had our writings published in other publications and yet we do NOT see ourselves as published authors.
I will, after reading this, change that mindset. I have been published not once, not twice, but three times... so therefore I BELIEVE I'm a published author - as are you my friend, as are you...=)

Paula, thanks for the reminder. I am a published author. I have another story coming out in July, another Chicken Soup book.
Thanks Diane for that reminder to BELIEVE!! Waiting and trusting in God for His direction in all things!
Blessings!

I'm glad I read this post right now cause I needed to and God knew it. I wonder and I wonder if ever this writing will go someplace and today is especially hard as I send out some work. I will believe:)
Jim, It has been a long wait for you but your book will be out soon. Looking forward to getting it and reading it.
Terri, I am so glad that this could be an encouragement to you. It sounds so easy doesn't it, just believe, but it's not, when everything around you says forget it. It would make God so sad if we gave up believing.
I have been published not once
