Today I welcome an authoress who has given so much
to helping others learn, my friend, Fay Lamb.

I met Fay through ACFW. Fay has volunteered as the coordinator for the critique loop with ACFW. This was no small task. She has consistently helped others in their writing journey, and I am one of the beneficiaries. I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote:
God Works in Mysterious Ways
God does work in mysterious ways, but one secret He has never kept from me is His plan for me to write for Him. Well, let me rephrase that…I’ve never doubted I would write. Even when I wanted to throw it all away, I understood that words were in my blood and characters were my best friends. And then one day following the loss of maybe the dearest person in my life—my grandmother, God whispered in my ear and said, “You will write for Me.”
God didn’t use a big fish to swallow me whole and spew me out. Nothing that simple. Instead, He allowed me to rush headlong toward a high cliff and to plunge over it. But God often provides a way out of the dilemmas in which we find ourselves. I’m convinced the limb sticking out from the slide of the rock face was there only so that I’d have to hold on and gaze upward to see the hem of Christ’s garment. I hung there for a while, wondering how I could both cling to the limb and take hold of the safety Christ afforded.
Faith, though, required my release of what I considered my safe hold in order to grasp the hem of my dear Savior’s garment. He pulled me up, placed me on solid ground, and began to walk away from the cliff with me securely tucked in His loving arms. I didn’t look back, and I surrendered my words to Him.
Michael’s fiancée, Issie Putnam, was brutally
attacked and Michael was imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. Now he’s home
to set things right.
Two people stand in his way: Issie’s
son, Cole, and a madman.
Can Michael learn to love the child
Issie holds so close to her heart and protect him from the man who took
everything from Michael so long ago?

I really like that last name, Lamb! I was a Smith before I married so I really notice the uniqueness of last names. Your writing journey sounds so familiar to me as I have not traveled much or done as many adventuresome things as others. I still live within a few miles of where I was born.
It would be great to win your book. May you have a joyous Christmas!
Blessings, Janice
Yes, faith is built on the waiting. Sometimes I feel like I must have tons of faith...because of the waiting :)
