So “THAT’S” what happened!
I don’t know about other people, but it can be the obscure words or phrases that catch my attention. Especially if it is a word I’m already familiar with—and think I know it’s meaning. Then I look up the word and find out that it means something different. Or, I see that word in a new context, and how it applies to my life.
It put an incident in my life into a new context. In 2000 I had sent a manuscript to my friend, Elaine Wright Colvin. (Elaine Wright Colvin is a market specialist, editor, and career consultant for hundreds of authors. She directs the international organization Writers Information Network and publishes the WIN-INFORMER, marketing and trends newsletter, from Bainbridge Island, Washington– http://writersinfonetwork.blogspot.co.uk) Elaine kindly sent the book manuscript to two editors for critique. These kind women did critique it with notes and instructions. Instead of having the box sent to my post office box, I had it sent to my street address. Unfortunately, the box disappeared—never to be found.
At this point, I’d been hamstrung. I wanted to do the re-write—but didn’t know how or what to change. And here I am, fourteen years later and no further with a writing career or a re-written manuscript. My writing actions are what my mother would have called, “Played at”, but never have been driven.
Earlier this year, I prayed for a breakthrough in this area. I needed to know what had knocked my determination to follow this calling. God spoke through this scripture, now I can pray for healing.
Please pray with me and for me.
Serving Jesus, Author of our faith,

It's often amazing how God speaks to people and all too often, in ways that you never envisage.
