Zechariah 5:1 I looked again -- and there before me was a flying scroll! NIV Habakkuk 2:2 Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. NIV It took me over ten years, through my relationship with Christ, to sort out my intentions for publishing my books. It all started with a simple need to write. Thus, The Barometric Frog, a humorous murder mystery, flowed from my heart through my fingertips in a slow but steady beat. I didn't realize until I was on the last chapter that it was a metaphor of my life. And until I was able to face the truths I spoke of in the prologue and epilogue, I didn't realize just how much I was trying to carry in my life, how much I was trying to heal on my own in isolation. As God led me through all I had to face within the safety of metaphor, He gave me my poetry to pick up details that I missed. A Fight For Faith evolved as my second book. Through it all, I held onto my relationship with Christ knowing that He was my only hope. My prayer life unfolded and I was strengthened through the scriptures. I was able to find meaning in words that before always sent me into vicious whirlwinds of emotional debate. Thus, Worrisome Words soon became my third book. A trilogy had been established...my life in metaphor and poetry and the understanding that came from surviving it. As I moved ahead to publish these books and start the Flying Scroll Publishing company, I again had to ask why. Revealing the pain that was in my life was certainly not going to take it away. And starting a publishing company in this glutted, failing environment would not be a wise investment according to any worldly perspective. So why continue? There is but one reason... my need to example that which God has given me in this process. Ephesians 5:8-10 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. KJV By publishing my books I am walking in God's word and living in the light of exposure. I have chosen to forgive, I have canceled any debt owed me and I am seeking an authority above any on this earth. I am seeking God's healing and justice. By starting the Flying Scroll Publishing company, I am trusting God's promise to restore me and to open the doors for this opportunity of new beginnings for others who choose His way. Psalm 60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. KJV |
