Still waiting

It's been almost 2 weeks now since I was asked to revise my short story for White Rose Publishers. I really do not like the waiting part at all. But like everything else in this world we don't like, it builds character. I've been waiting patiently and even started working on a new story titled "The Unforgiven". New stories are sometimes hard to get into because you can't leave your old ones behind, but this story really touches my heart. If you've ever punished yourself for something that you felt was, or wasn't, your fault, then you'll relate to this book. Somtimes it's hard for us to let go of our sins and trust in the Lord for our forgiveness. But He does forgive us when we truly seek it. He erases it all and we're given the chance to start over. We are the ones who carry our burdens far too long and punish ourselves long after we've asked God to take it from us. It's then that we've taken His love for granted and not accepted. We've all done this at one point or another. In my new story my character struggles with forgiving herself of a wrong she had no control over. She punishes herself and won't allow God's mercy and love into her heart.

I hope if you're reading this blog, you've allowed God's love and mercy into your heart. If not, pray for it and leave your heart wide open for His healing. God Bless!
