It was last Tuesday and I’d waited all day. But it never came.
In the afternoon, I picked the girls up from the bus and took them to run some errands and out to dinner. It was dark when we’d returned and I’d sort of forgotten about it.
Almost.
Until I parked the car and looked to the front step and there it was …
my proof copy of 31 Days of Forgiveness!!!
Elation! Excitement! Disbelief! Anticipation!
Excitement! Excitement! Excitement!
Surrealness!
Total surrealness! My words … well, in all fairness, God’s words … but still! OUR words right there in front of me between a beautifully designed {thank you Erin!} front and back cover! Surrealness, right!?!
and ohmyheart!!!
When I took the book out of the packaging, Hunter — my package hound — grabbed it and exclaimed, “Is this your book?!”
“Yes babygirl, it’s mommy’s book!”
She ran back outside where my others were taking doggies potty, and showed each of them … with awe and excitement … it brought tears to my eyes to see how important it was to them. They know the hours of heart and soul I’ve poured into it and there they were treasuring it as if they’d just found a block of gold from the deep.
When Hunter showed it to Taylor, Tay looked straight at me {an important detail when we’re talking teens} full of awe and seriousness and said, “That’s really cool mom!”
The proof has been approved, details are being finalized, and 31 Days of Forgiveness {through the eyes of grace} will be launched this Wednesday {February 6}!!
I’ve got some FUN things planned for release day, so be sure to come back Wednesday for all the nitty-gritty — dare I say awesomesauce — details!!
