Having a book signing is something you only hear about, it’s
not something you ever imagine you would or could be a part of. Well, that was until
I did get to be a part of one.
It still seems crazy to me that I
have written a book and I am an author. I feel way too inadequate to have
anything anyone would want or need to read, and yet I know that the words in my
book are not from me but God. It is because of Him I have a story and because
of Him I found Joy and Hope! It is because of Him I have a future.
The book signing went well and was
really neat. I have to say though, I totally felt out of place. The sweet
ladies who had their book there as well seemed like naturals, and me, well; not
so much! I had knots in my stomach like
I was going to say the wrong thing or something. I want my story to be
uplifting and for people to see that through any darkness there is light. The
only problem is that so often I feel like all people see is the sadness, the
hurt and the pain. Yes, that is there, but so much hope and joy came through
the hurt and sadness that I hope and pray others are willing to see.
I know that Bethany is a gift in my
life. I know and believe so deeply that her story of life and death is my story
of darkness and light. I pray that God can and will continue to give me the
strength to use my story to help others for His glory. I want to do so much
more. I want to help others so much more. I pray I can!
I still have some signed copies if you want one please just send me an email. stillinmyarms@gmail.com I will ship for a small shipping fee.
This is soo exciting! I can only imagine how scary it was to do but I am sure the joy out weighed the fear. Wonderful gifts you hold in such a raw and honest look into your grief. hugs-
