The Luck of the Irish is with me

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Well today is the last full day of the Mt. Hermon Conference, and it’s St. Patrick’s day too. In honor of this day, me and my bonnie imagination brought 400 shamrock stickers to pass out before breakfast and lunch. I figured the stress of the conference would decrease the Irish spirit of the cofrencees, and  I was right. There was actually a large handfull of people that forgot. Granted this is a Christian conference and superstition isn’t the first thought on this day. 

However I wasn’t going for the superstitious aspect, but rather the promotion for the gloriful things God is doing in this place. I also wanted to give folks that last bit of encouragement in order to finish the conference strong. And what do you know, it worked! There were so many smiling faces and child-like excitement with the stickers I passed out. Who knew that adults would be as excited about stickers as children. :) I guess God did when he gave me the idea. ;)

 I also got another agent and a publisher who asked me to send them my stuff. I am breath-taken by what God is doing. You know you hope for things, but when words turn into actions it’s amazing what God surprises us with. It is a great turn at this point in my writing career and I’m looking forward to the things I will learn in the stages ahead.
