It's really Fall!!
Can you guys believe it's October already??? Some Christians hate this month because of Halloween. But I don't. I mean, it gets a little spooky and we do have to plead the blood of Jesus. But I spent too many years living in paranoia and fear and I'm done with all that. If you don't want to trick or treat, then don't. It's probably not the best choice in today's world. But if you do choose to, make sure it's okay between you and God. Someone mentioned the other day that it saddens them to see the seduction of Christians this time of year.
I tell you, i don't feel seduced at all. I don't have trick or treat aged kids, I take them to the church party and we don't dress up, but I have to shake my head at the mentality that if you don't agree with me, you're somehow being lied to and seduced by the devil. As though one Christian is more spiritual because they choose not to acknowledge the holiday. The same people, however who DO partake in "harvest" parties that happen to be held on the same night. I don't know....I'm just sick of the idea that you must believe and speak my way or it's the wrong way.
Well, I wrote today with happy thoughts and it just went downhill pretty fast. LOL SOO on to the really cool news!
Remember I told you a few months ago that I wasn't moving on a proposal until I got real direction? Well, I finally got it and I'm moving forward with a proposal.
The thing is, I have to get my sales numbers together to put in a good pitch, so I've been going through royalty statements and adding figures to last year's figures and I was astonished to find my sales are over 900K sold. I look back over the last eight years and I have to praise God and give him all the glory for everything he's done for me.
To God be all the glory---I truly mean that. I know I'm nothing without Him.
Happy October!!

Wow, Tracey! How fabulous, 900K.
I love fall and October too!
Love you, Rachel
900K. And you say you haven't run a marathon. Sheesh, girl. Sounds to me like you've run the gauntlet. Well, okay, maybe that's not the right term, but you know what I mean. Congrats, my friend.
And when I lived in MN, I used to love the fall too. Now, in southern TX, we go straight from summer to...cooler summer. LOL. Enjoy the season.
