BECAUSE OF GOD, this is the year for my fresh start; I've hit the reset button of life. God has redirected me in many surprising and different ways. And He has reassured me that this is a special time in my life, in which He is working to make beneficial changes on my behalf. Change, as everyone knows, can be quite scary and intimidating, but with God in charge; change can be exhilarating, fresh and progressive, as it repositions believers for something better. God is SO faithful when He is permitted to be in the driver's seat, that He will take something negative and turn it around for our good, which is one of my favorite aspects of a close relationship with Him.

I have recently had to give up my website, move to a new state I've never even visited and face some hard cold facts about the life I had been living. I am definitely starting my life over at 55. At first, I thought I would die; I considered death and cried out (very loudly) to God: "WHAT IS GOING ON? However, only a week later everything seemed to make sense and I am thrilled with the way God used a painful revelation to physically and spiritually reposition me in SUCH an unexpected way.

Now, I can see how bright my future really is and that finishing my assignment (best defined in "MOTEL NAPKINS") is so close; I can practically touch it. God has given my plan for following His purpose for my life a whole new, much clearer perspective and I've come to realize that everything else He changed in my life: my diet, weight, emotions, home, friends, habits, security, satisfaction within myself, relationships, online schools and especially my direction.........nearly EVERYTHING.

I am writing this in order to explain 2 things: 1, why I went away for awhile and 2, that my new direction is that God wants me to take a great risk and go hard copy with my books, namely the 2 He gave me to write, for Him; feverishly and passionately resulting from an observation of great distress and conviction about a beautiful child I knew who was heading down a scary and dangerous path. My knowledge of this crime against innocence was God's way of moving me, emotionally speaking, to the revelation of the need for His stories, that He gave me to write one mystical evening, while on vacation with my family.
