Second Rejection

Well, I officially got my second rejection for my book, sort of. I had talked to an independent publisher who was interested and asked for the first few chapters. So I sent it in, in early November. She told me she would probably get back to me after Thanksgiving. So I waited, and waited. Finally, after Christmas, I emailed asking if she had read what I sent. I still didn't hear from her. I have really been feeling like I needed to move on. You know, that voice or prompting you KNOW is from God? So yesterday, I got an email stating that her finances were not matching her goals and for me to seek other avenues of publishing. I don't know if she even read the material I sent her. But I did feel prepared for this. Now, among all the other things in my life, I need to figure out who to send my manuscript to. That in itself is overwhelming. However; I know that if God wants this to happen, it will. I strongly think that God does want this to happen because people I trust implicitly have told me that my book needs to be published. So, I will push on and try to find another publisher. I know I can't let it sit because I feel this urgency over the whole thing. God's timing may not be mine, but it certainly is impeccable.

So God, this thing is in your hands now. I commit my book to your hands, your purpose, and your timing. Your will, not mine, for this book that would have not gotten written if it weren't for you.
