Autumn is in the air. It’s my favorite time of year. Cooler breezes and colorful leaves make my soul stand on its tiptoes.

Speaking of seasons, it’s been a fruitful one for writing. I’ve produced more blog content than normal and have lots of ideas coming down the pike. I hope you’ve been blessed by the words. I enjoyed writing them and have appreciated those of you who’ve interacted via comments or email.

I wanted to pass along a personal update.

I’m nearing the finish line on my first book! I’ve been writing nonstop since March and have a full manuscript in hand. I hope to share more info soon. There’s still quite a lot of work to do, though.

Over the next few months, I’ll be rewriting portions where feedback was given, and locating and working with an editor. I still haven’t identified an editor. If you know one who’d be willing to work with a broke writer trying to put out their first book, will you let me know? My goal is to have it published by late winter or early spring.

Blog posts will likely slow over the next month or two as I dedicate my free time to completing the book.

Here’s my ask: please pray for the project. Writing a book is no simple task. It’s easy to get lost in the weeds and feel discouraged. It’s also tempting to put too much pressure on myself or think too highly of myself. God is teaching me many wonderful things through the process. It’s been humbling.

I can’t wait to get the book into your hands if you’re interested.

Thanks for reading and following this blog.

Let me leave you with this prayer from the Apostle Paul.

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

—Ephesians 3:16-21 (NIV)
