9.24.25 - disappointment
Good morning ,
Monday was super disappointing. It finally hit me that my book editor was not going to be able to finish the contract we started back in April.
I was disappointed because I hadn’t heard back from her in weeks. I was disappointed because I didn’t plan to edit the rest of the book by myself. I was disappointed because I couldn’t blame the delay on anyone else other than myself now. I was disappointed because this was just one other thing that was added to my plate.
After feeling disappointed I felt the fear of publishing start to diminish. I felt the insecurities of not being qualified to do this on my own start to fade. I’ve been reading books all year from Christian authors who have helped me identify certain areas of my life that I need to surrender to God. Every book has imparted something life changing into my life exactly when I needed it.
Every woman shared her raw testimony and it encouraged me. I know that my testimony will bring hope. I have been so worried about what people will think of “me” instead of how many people will find hope in Christ. It’s not about us. It’s about pointing people to Christ.
I just started a new book “It’s not supposed to be this way” by Lysa Terkeurst. Funny enough it’s about dealing with the disappointments of life. I sat there thinking, “How many more books will you read before someone reads yours?” Now I don’t know the answer to that question, but I hope it’s not too many.
I’m still disappointed, but I know that God is going to guide me to get this book published, and people all over will be encouraged. Just like people have been encouraged through these morning inspos!
God is good. Even when our plans fail, he is still good. He is faithful and we can trust that he has good plans for us.
I appreciate you being part of this community—it's always more than skin care. 💛
