My News (In Case You Didn't Hear... :)

Excuse me if this is a repeat for some of you (cuz I posted this all over Facebook and Twitter, and on the FaithWriters boards, and in an email), but I just HAVE TO make sure everybody knows my EXCITING news.

Many of you know I've been working on my  nonfiction book about God's work in our family for several years - and that I submitted it to the One Hope Nonfiction Contest at Write Integrity Press.

Well, yesterday, they announced that I WON THE CONTEST!

I still have some work to do on the manuscript, but, God willing, it looks like my book is gonna be PUBLISHED!

I'm totally twitterpated (LOVE that word - that has nothing to do with Twitter LOL), and amazingly thankful for all of YOU, my blog readers/friends/encouragers/rear kickers/cheerleaders. I never could have gotten this far without you. (and I'm not gonna make it to the end without ya either - so don't stop now! ;))

Okay - now to get BACK TO WORK :)
