Choices

When we wake up in the morning we have two simple choices:
Go back to sleep and dream or wake up and chase those dreams.
Choice is yours...

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a nurse or a writer when I grew up. Well, I worked as a nursing assistant for almost two years, in a local nursing facility, when my son was just a baby, and it broke my heart every time a resident passed away. I decided early on that was not the job for me... I simply got too attached too easily.

Unfortunately, I also learned throughout my life that writing doesn't pay the bills. (Well, except for people like William Shakespeare, John Grisham, Virginia Woolf, and the like.) But, I never gave up on my dreams. As a result, over the years, I've written five children's books for my grandchildren.

I'm in the process right now of getting one of them published. Will I become famous? Of course not! But my granddaughter is going to have a book, about her and her friend, to hold in her hands and read whenever she wants. Someday she'll understand the significance of my writing it for her. Thanks enough for me.

2 Chronicles 15:7 (NIV)
"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”
