Glory to God and Hallelujah!

Like a Sweet Fragrance is now for sale on amazon.com as an ebook with the paperback soon to follow. For now, we're celebrating! I hope you like it, but most of all, I hope God is glorified as He sends it out into the world, doing what He wants it to do. If you read it, I hope you'll see how awesome God is to love us the way He does, to care about the little details of our lives, to show us how much we matter, and to want us to be part of something much greater than we can imagine.

I will be praying for everyone who reads it. May God speak to you and amaze you with His compassion and love and overall awesomeness!!! We are important to Him and to others too. Our lives matter. And as we follow closely behind Christ, doing what we were made to do, his sweet fragrance will spread throughout the world.

A friend said to me this morning, "I bet you feel like you have birthed a baby!" That really is an apt description of the way I feel. Only the labor went on for ten years, and I didn't gain quite as much weight!

Another friend commented, "The phantom book -- it really exists!" Yes! It really does! Glory to God and Hallelujah!

Mainly, however, Ian and I just look at each other, slightly teary-eyed, and for the most part, without words. The other day he remarked, "I wish I could help you more!" And I thought, "Are you kidding me? You were made for such a time as this!" This book truly was a partnership. Yes, my sweet husband is great material for a writer, but more than that, he's great support for a wife who loves to write. I can't count the hours that I spent upstairs at my computer, revising and editing and editing some more, addressing the details that are more endless than the actual writing itself. And Ian never complained. Not once. He's a keeper, my Ian.

I'd love to hear what you think! And on Amazon.com, you can read the first chapter for free!
