A few days ago I received a blessing that I have failed to share. I think it’s because it took some time to ‘accept’ and let it sink in. There is an award called the ECPA (Evangelical Christian Publisher’s Association) Christian Book of the Year Award. Publishers are able to submit 1-2 titles that they have published in that given year for this prestigious award and my publisher chose to use EXPOSED: Inexcusable Me…Irreplaceable Him as their nominee.
Other titles that stand out to me that have one this in past years are “The Purpose Driven Life” and “Five Love Languages”. Just to be nominated for an award that these titles have proudly bestowed is an absolute honor and I’m THRILLED! The publisher is n0w doing all of the paperwork, etc and said the winner is not announced till May 2011 so I can safely put it out of my mind. It would have to be a complete grace from God to win, I’d imagine. So for now I’ll just savor the nomination. 😉
I’ve been lazy lazy today. I have loved every minute of it! Neal finally returned home from his 8 day hunting excursion for work and checked my car out only to find that it was indeed the battery, it is fixed and all is well. I’ve played Rummikub with Seth and once they get out of church we’ll go to CiCi’s for Ryan’s birthday (b/c that is where he wants to go…….)
I’ll take the gift of this time to ‘breathe’ before the chaos of the week begins again and I become ‘taxi mom’. Salute to all you momma’s!
Blessings
