Marketing

Well now that they are complete, it is time to "market". By far the most uncomfortable part of this journey so far. I sat for 10 minutes outside the first church I "cold called", just praying and scared to death. It reminded me of the fear before my first parent teacher conference, when I realized someone was going to tell me that my precious first child was just not perfect!!!! How could I recover from that. Only by God's grace. I called my friend Stacey and she was fixing to go into her first church. We prayed together and we were off. Things were a bit awkward, but once I got started, things went well. So far no one has said , "this is horrible!", and many churches, even the one I grew up in and knew me before, a long time before, God transformed me to this point, wanted to look at it. My prayer has been that this will glorify God, and that he will be pleased with my efforts. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that. I always wanted to write a book, but couldn't think of anything great to say. Now I do, and I hope that other Moms, Dads, Grandparents, etc will be able to use it with their kids as a way of devleloping a relationship with each other around Christ.

Writing comes more easily if you havesomething to say.--Sholem Asch
