First Time Attendee

I'm nearing the end of my first day at the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) conference and my head is already full. I have met up with friends, made a few new ones and I've attended workshops with actual authors! I look forward to trading in my 'First Time Attendee' ribbon on my name badge, for an an 'author' ribbon at a conference in the near future.

Being around so many great authors and hearing about their personal road to publication has left me feeling both encouraged and challenged. It hasn't been easy for even one of them, but the authors who are here are the ones who have pressed passed the difficulties in order to attain their dream.

Is there something you believe the Lord has been calling you to do? It may not be to write a best selling novel, but if He's put a dream in your heart, don't bury it with the excuse of not having enough time, or perhaps thinking it would be too hard. Go for it!

I would love to hear the dream of your heart. Please share it with me in your comment so I can cheer you on along the way. Blessings from Dallas, TX.

It was so much fun to meet you last week ACFW. I had prayed for friends, and God was absolutely faithful to answer that prayer. :) I'd love to stay connected. Keep me posted on what you hear from editors (especially when Moody comes calling!) God bless you, sweet Melissa!

It was great to meet you, too. I just love the way God works in our lives. Of all of the people at conference, I ran into you that first night in the B&H spotlight room and then we kept bumping into each other everywhere we went. :-) I hope to keep in touch with you, as well. Maybe someday you'll be able to visit our local ACFW chapter. I'm sure it will be months before I finish my proposal, send it in and then hear back from anyone, but I will definitley let everyone know if I'm offered a contract. Tee hee! I'll try to keep up with you on facebook. Chat with you soon!
