Staying at 55 Miles Per Hour

Today there was a mini-panic. Somehow I discovered that I had two versions of my final manuscript-one that was actually ready, and one that was only 90% ready. Naturally I almost uploaded the wrong version… Nonetheless God is faithful. Yesterday as I was perparing to upload I felt that he wanted me to delay doing so. At first I persisted but I relented. He has helped me to look like less of an idiot than I am :).

Today I began reaching out to persons who have podcasts on work related topics. On one hand there is uncertainty regarding rejection, but at the same time I know that they are only human and that God will open a door in some way or another.

I know that the book is good. My younger brother has already been reading it, and has given it glowing reviews. This is a huge relief to someone like me! Maintaining level is often a challenge. Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of the world, perhaps the book will cause a revival! Other times I must remind myself that this book was worth the sacrifice if only two people read it.

The goal is to keep steadily completing the tasks required for the book to make it to the hands of readers. The temptation is to rush through it or to slow up and avoid tasks. Both of these are fear and cannot be tolerated. The first is the fear of inadequacy, the second is the fear of irrelevance. Neither is true. I must remember that. We are sooooooo close everyone!
