I rarely allow myself pity parties. I'm blessed and I know it. However, a couple of days ago I embroiled myself in one. For the past month my book sales weren't as I'd have them and it seemed those who were purchasing them weren't reviewing them. My initial thought was, 'Why even go through this, I have lots of books out there, it's been a good run." Seriously. The Zen Cooper ~ Grown Woman book was that important to me.
I spoke to my husband about it and he chose not to humor me; we go down this road periodically. After praying about it, I felt better and went to bed. When I woke the next morning, after reading my bible and praying, I started perusing my Facebook inbox and email. In the Facebook inbox was someone asking if I'd consider mentoring them. My heart soared because mentoring is a real love of mine and what I know is my ministry.
Next my inbox was filled with a couple of manuscripts that a young woman I'd never laid eyes on wanted me to consider publishing. By then I was praise dancing because I knew God was tapping on my brain, saying, "Selling books is one thing but reaching, teaching and touching people is something else altogether. You know what you are called to do!"
Yes, I do! Now mind you I do want to sell lots of Zen Cooper ~ Grown Woman because the message is needed and I know that. But first thing in the morning and last thing at night, that's only secondary to what God has called and equipped me to to do. I'm blessed and I know it. But God, Just Love.
