When I finally turned back to writing after 20+ years in a demanding career, I prayed that God would show me where he wanted me.
A Love Inspired blitz popped up and I submitted a synopsis and three chapters. Shortly after that I was asked to submit a full manuscript. After several revisions my book was accepted for publication. I took that as a sign that God wanted me to write Christian fiction!
Recently a Christian literary agent came to my attention and I queried her. Again, I prayed for God to let me know if this was where he wanted me. Although the website said it would take at least 12 weeks to get a response, I heard back from her in less than a week, met with her yesterday and now I have a Christian agent!
Suddenly my writing world has become much larger. I definitely want to keep writing for Love Inspired, but I would love to write longer books that allow me to develop characters and situations more deeply. With my agent that is now a possibility, as she has ties to other Christian publishers.
My heart is full of gratitude for these answered prayers. I now know absolutely where God wants me and what my ministry is.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. -- Matthew 7:8
