As writers for the Christian market, we need to not only write about people of faith, we need to live like people of faith, seeking God's guidance in our careers. -- Sandy
Tanya: Recently
I was asked to share what inspired my new story To Gain a Mommy. It might surprise you, but my inspiration behind
this story isn't what most people would think of. It was actually a
prayer.
Several
months ago I was asked to take a great position at the company I work for, but
the catch was I'd barely have time for my family. So I prayed. In that prayer I
asked God for direction for my family, my job, and my writing.
I
love how God knows us.
He
KNEW I had a desire to be a part of a boxed set of stories, working with other
authors, and to write my first novella because without a push, I wouldn't have
done it.
It
all began by a simple post on my FB timeline. Someone posted to say that they
had messaged me but wanted to let me know since FB has a couple of message
boxes.
I
didn't know this! I clicked on messages and there it was, the extra message
box, filled. As I read through them, I had a message asking if I'd be
interested in joining the boxed set Kisses, Kids and Bundles of Joy.
He
answered my prayer! So needless to say, I didn't take the position and through
this boxed set, I’ve become an Amazon Bestseller and an International
Bestseller in three countries. Isn't God good!
