Well it is written. After an enormous amount of prayer, study, typing and even crying when the computer just would not read my mind, the Advent Devotional Guide for 2010 is written, back from the editor, and almost ready for print. I say this every year, it is my favorite.
Everything in it comes from my experience with God this year, and what I hope to teach my own children. That is what makes it hard to release to everyone else. Once it is out there, I get to hear the good, the bad and the ugly things people have to say about it, and believe me, people let you know what is on their mind. That can be difficult to hear, but I have to remember that this is what God called me to do. Criticism, even harsh, can make my ministry better, and my ability to work with difficult people stronger. I am always anxious to see what God does with this project. Every year I see it in new places and watch it leave old ones. I can't be hurt by that either. Every ministry has a season and those seasons do begin and end.
In a few weeks I will have a website with this year's devotional available. That sounds so official. When I have that information I will post it here first.
Until then,
Happy Writing!
