Those of you who have been following this journey with me, have read of the many communications - all via email and the written word - that have brought the publishing process this far.
There are miles to go yet.
But this one part is key for the template sets the pattern the typesetter will take to ready the manuscript for printing.
Because I am self-publishing, I get final approval via what is sent to me before it is sent off. Now the last part of readying the template can proceed.
There was one clarification the graphic designer wanted regarding some interior graphics I designed. She shared with me what she needs to do from her end to make them ready for the typesetter. All else looks great and once she finishes these interior graphics and I take a look, the template can move along and the whole manuscript can be typeset.
"Green Light! Go!"
Whew!
Thank you for your prayers for me and for those preparing the book for publication. I would ask you to continue in prayer for my stamina for other aspects needing attention outside the actual publication process - that just the right people I need to help me will be set in my path and my own energy for what only I can do will be handed to me by God.
"We" are closer than when I signed my contract last November. That seems ages ago in light of all that has happened. It has been quite a whirlwind. I am hanging onto the One who is the calm in the midst of the "whirl".
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
(Isaiah 26:3 NKJV)
Seeking the Light of God's Comforter
When Challenges Dim Our View
Woo hoo!!!! Thanks Lord!! Sooooo exciting that it's in motion again! It gives me hope for our house sale! A weird comparison I know, but both of our adventures started in November 2015! God bless ya Lynn. LOTSoluv Kerryn
ReplyDeleteKerryn - so true. We each take our little steps in faith (or step NOT and trust) and eventually God says, "Here you are, just in MY time." I'll open a book I can hold in my hands and you will walk through the door of your "new home" where you may be able to read my book. LOL
DeleteI think it would be amazing - because of our dear friendship - if the completion of this stage of our mutual adventures happen at the same time: sale of your house AND into your new one and my book published! ��
Wonderful, can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura - next comes YOUR book!
DeleteHugs -
Lynn
Great news Lynn - another step along the way!
ReplyDeleteCelebrating with you as we continue to pray for the final result.
Blessings,
Fiona
Thanks, Fiona - another step in the right direction is always a "good step". I appreciate your steadfastness and prayers that have been accompanying me.
DeleteLove, Lynn
Doing a "happy dance" here in Carlsbad! This is so great...what a BIG step on the road to completion!!! <3
ReplyDeleteTrue - this is to one key step in this dance that has had more twists and turns than the "hokey-pokey"!!
DeleteGlad you got another green light! They are all adding up. So excited for you and for us, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Lisa - let's see if I can do the math over the past six years???
DeleteBut it is true that the lights have been brighter these last nine months even the amber and red ones. You know I plan to persevere!!
So excited that this journey is moving forward, though slower than you wished I'm sure. I know God is working each stage to evolve exactly has He has planned.
ReplyDeleteI have full confidence that when the finished product is released His Glory will shine forth, from within!
Praying as as you and He continue onward!!
Hugs Di
Thank you, Diane - your prayers and encouragement have helped me stay this course. I trust so deeply in His timing though being truthful about the frustrations. That will all come clear when His shine of it all gets the Glory - just as you say.
DeleteHugs back -
Lynn
How wonderful! Joy to you as you continue to serve God through your words.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie - as long as God keeps them flowing, I'll keep penning them! I am glad you stopped by!
