My First Cover Reveal

This almost feels similar to a diary entry somehow rather than a post. It is late, I am extremely tired, and I do not have a plan right now for what I am about to write.

This past year plus has been rough in many ways. I have almost thought I had things figured out and then it has been like BAM! Do you? Do you really have it figured out? I did not know what was going on, but God did.

So, somehow, in a shift I never saw coming, God cleared the way for me to accept and even lean into my dream of writing books. Amazingly, with grace and newfound strength, God directed me to write and illustrate a picture book. And He has sped up the process far more than I could have imagined.

Tomorrow morning, as I am posting my cover reveal here and elsewhere, I will be sharing these words. They feel mixed up and may or may not make sense, but I have been feeling that way through nearly all of this process. Yet, in God’s grace, everything is coming together. God says to be anxious for nothing… this has been a test in regard to that, because I am leaping blind, and trusting He will catch me.

Blessings on you and yours. Dream big! Trust that God is ready to catch you.
