Sainthood

I want what every hot-blooded writer wants:
- an agent extraordinaire
- a signed contract in-hand...for a trilogy
- sales that raise a publisher's eyebrows
- so much traffic to my website I need to hire a cop
- marketing events that fall into my lap


Of the 5 I've listed, I've got 1. The agent extraordinaire. Waiting for the other 4 takes the patience of a saint, and believe me, in my natural state, I'm not one.


So how does a writer live beneath the dark cloud of unmet desires?


Just like anyone else. Every career has golden rings to reach for that not everyone will reach. So whether you're a writer or not, here's something to ponder, taken from Psalms 46:10.


"Be still
and know that I am God."


Those 8 words can change your life, not the words actually, but the God behind them. When you get your focus on God, you just might find a whole new set of desires replacing the old.
