I took the day off today to go to Little Rock to speak to the good people at Barnes and Noble. I woke up (extremely happy to sleep in for once) and made my way south. I walk in and of course get swept off my feet by the smell of books and coffee. I love that smell. I walk right up to the manager, introduce myself, tell her why I'm there...and BAM! Disappointment. I didn't think it was possible to feel disappointment in a bookstore. She gives me a number to call hoping to help me out...it didn't. I found out that my is called "print on demand." In Mandy terms that means big distributors will not carry it. That really sucks! I'm just sayin'! I go to Mardel and get the same news.
In all this crazy frustration, I hear God tell me to not lose heart. What a comforting God we have! I felt Him speak in my heart and it brought tears to my eyes. I shouldn't give up because one thing doesn't work out. There are many people that tend to make me feel like it's over. They make me feel like my dream is over and I should give up, but I refuse to let anyone tell me that I'm not going to make it. My dreams may be big, but I have faith. My book is completed and published for a reason. I will not lose heart, my Lord!
