I sent off the corrected copy today. I can't wait to see where this goes.

I get an email from him the other day. Said he had been given permission by this scholar's family to publish his books, and that he believes I'm a vital link in that process. Wow. Humbling. And exciting at the same time.

I called to talk to my mom, mostly because my hubby was already asleep for the night, and she reminded me of a conversation we had over ten years ago. God had been very clear that I was not to go into an architectural firm, that He had something better for me. After throwing a royal fit, I began to ponder what talents He had given me, and what He might have for me to do.

Not expecting all the wonderful things I could never have dreamed of, like my beautiful daughter and homeschooling and writing cancer stories for my local newspaper and all the other odd things I've done in the last decade, I had come up with something involving writing and architecture. Mom reminded me that we had actually discussed the idea of editing for some periodical, possibly an architectural one.

Now, here, after all these years, suddenly I get a carrot dangled in front of me. What's the possibility that I get to edit, not in the physical architecture world, but in the spiritual architecture world -- building up the Body of Christ? I hope this is it, and I'd trust in Him even if it wasn't, and I'm anxious too -- can I really do it? This isn't the local paper, even with it's millionaire publisher and high-tech press. This is a world-wide, Christian publishing company -- and God very clearly gave me a divine appointment with the man who could get me involved.

Oh, how I hate waiting for a clear answer. Let's see if I'll even be able to focus on writing until I get a response.
