Recently I was asked to share what inspired my new story To Gain a Mommy. It might surprise you, but my inspiration behind this story isn’t what most people would think of. It was actually a prayer.
Several months ago I was asked to take a great position at the company I work for, but the catch was I’d barely have time for my family. So I prayed. In that prayer I asked God for direction for my family, my job, and my writing.
I love how God knows us.
He KNEW I had a desire to be a part of a boxed set of stories, working with other authors, and to write my first novella because without a push, I wouldn’t have done it.
It all began by a simple post on my FB timeline. Someone posted to say that they had messaged me but wanted to let me know since FB has a couple of message boxes.
I didn’t know this! I clicked on messages and there it was, the extra message box, filled. As I read through them, I had a message asking if I’d be interested in joining the boxed set Kisses, Kids and Bundles of Joy.
He answered my prayer! So needless to say, I didn’t take the position and through this boxed set, I’ve become an Amazon Bestseller and an International Bestseller in three countries. Isn’t God good!
Recently I’ve published To Gain a Mommy and as of yesterday, the next novella in the Gaining Love Series, To Gain a Valentine, is scheduled to release just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Is there something you’re praying about? Not sure which way to go because the proverbial fork in the road holds your future? Sometimes we over think, over stress and we forget one important step as we follow after Christ.
To trust.
The Lord tells us to trust in Him and if we do, He will direct our paths. It still amazes me to watch as the Lord works behind the scenes of our lives to give us a hope and a future.
