On Xmas vacation, I have to work on publishing my book. I can’t tell you how hard it is to go back to working on this thing. I just want it to go away. But, it would be worse to never do it. It is a story that needs to be out there, for the public. And I’m the only one who wrote it. Aint that amazing.
This is one of those times, when I just have to go forward on faith. I don’t know what I’m doing. Writing the dissertation took so much out of me, I truly believe it shortened my life. I can’t even express how hard it is to think of working on it again. But, I am old, and if I don’t get it out, it will be old and dated, and EVENTUALLY, someone else will pick up on this subject! Someone else out there HAS to be aware of all these prison reform groups, and writing about them. I can’t be the only one!
Going forward on faith means, you don’t have to know all the answers. You may not know the end, or all the steps in between. All you have to know, all you have to do, is the next step. But you do have to take that one. And you turn the rest over to God, and set your heart on that. You don’t have to figure it all out. All you have to do is begin. And ABSOLUTELY give the rest to God, and mean it.

Love that last paragraph about going forward on faith. Seems to be not so much of that these days. Miss you.
