Do I look different? I’ve recently made a big change in my
life. Some people like to do new and daring things to add excitement to their
days. I’m more of a read in a book about people doing those things and making life-altering changes person. I don’t do unexpected change well.
But I know change is inevitable, and the change I've made is one I planned, wanted to do, and have prayed about for a while. The change? On April 17, I left the company I've worked for since I finished college 36 years ago to become a full-time author/freelance writer. (Yes, I graduated college at age four.) I had originally
wanted to make the move about four years ago, but it turned out that wasn’t the
right time. It's new and exciting and kind of scary. We have these habits we need to finance like eating and having a warm, dry place to live.
And I've been busier than ever the past couple of weeks with writing a proposal for the third book in my new Love Inspired series "The Donnelly Brothers: Hometown boys make good. . . and find love," which I put off because I was working so many house at my day job getting everything wrapped up. And I had line edits on the second book, Holiday Homing, and promotion for the first book, Winning the Teacher's Heart, which has been showing up in stores this week.
Jared Donnelly in Winning the Teacher's Heart is a little like me. He's recently retired at the top from motocross racing to start an new endeavor,building a “Big Brother/Sister” motocross school
for fatherless and under privileged children in the hometown he left 15 years ago. He wants to open their hearts to
Christ and introduce them to the opportunities racing opened to him. Only his change is likely to tear the heroine Becca Norton's world apart. I don't expect my change to cause anything so earth-shattering.
What kind of changes have you experienced recently?
