To be Published March 27, 2026

This weekend, I uploaded my book files to be published. I added the manuscript, I added the cover, and I put in all the details. Today, as I write this, I am waiting for a proof of the paperback and hardcover books to arrive in the mail.

Sitting in contemplation of this moment, I am blown away by it. How is it that I wrote a book? It seems impossible. It could have been anyone. There isn’t anything I particularly have that others don’t. Maybe my story is uniquely mine, but I still wonder, why me?

The answer is simply this: God placed me in these particular situations where I could sit and write, where I was able to take all that I have experienced and put it on a page. I know it was cathartic for me, but deep in my heart I know that this book is for everyone who finds themselves in stages of waiting. I was given a unique story to tell, but it was written for all of you. It is no longer only mine, but yours too.

As I march toward my publication date, I’m afraid. Afraid that no one will buy my book, that no one will read it. But when I allow a moment of silence for this benchmark in my life, I am reminded that God is in control of this book, just as He was in every moment that went into its creation. Every moment in my life when I didn’t have the answer—He was present.

In the same way, I know in my heart that the right people will get my book at the right moment. I have very little control over how that happens, but isn’t that how all of life is?

I have nothing more to say in this moment because I am so overwhelmed, but what I will say is this: If you have a dream to do something, don’t give up on it. Don’t ever doubt that it could be you. Keep walking forward and trusting.
