Josef Tson, the great Romanian Christian philosopher said:
Jesus said he is sending us as sheep in the midst of wolves.
Imagine that picture for a while. Meditate on it. Can we stay alive? Let alone convert the wolves?
Jesus said, "As my father sent me, so send I you." Jesus was sent as a lamb to be sacrificed.
The world hates us as it hated Christ.
Let us take up our cross and follow Christ.

I smiled when I read about sheep in the middle of wolves. One of the novels I hope to sell at the conference I'm going to today has that theme.
I don't know why I am so nervous all of a sudden. I've sold a novel before. Maybe because I'm not prepared like I think I should be. I finished the ms last night. My husband so enjoyed the novel and decided the protagonist was me and the husband was him, so he went through the novel and added lots of loving sex and sermons and reminders and backflashes (in case the reader forgot what I said 40 pages earlier) and more. It took me forever to get rid of most of that. But Frank says he is happy to keep his version of the novel. okay.
God can prepare you pretty instantly. Just be open to what he says so you can say the right thing. Hey, maybe it's a sign: this coincidence of sheep in the middle of wolves. God bless your novel at this confence. In Jesus' name, I declare, "Grace, Grace to Lelia's novel! Grace, Grace to it!" Amen!
IF my hubby touched my novel, I'd scream. He never knows what's in a novel until it's published. -C
Lelia:
Saw this on another blog and thought it might help. Good luck.
