Perhaps my biggest stumbling block is trying to make the story as good as possible. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to morph into trying to make the story as perfect as possible. Perfect becomes an insurmountable brick wall with no way over, around, or under. Perfection belongs to God. I must step back and remind myself that God is only asking for my best, which means flaws will be present but the story will still be beautiful and acceptable to Him.

Sunday Scripture

Esther 1:7-8 

And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state f the king. And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel" for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

I've spent a week reworking a single page. I think it's done, and I see something else that needs to be changed. Sentences have been switched around, re-arranged, re-written, but I think it's done now. Onward.

Sunday Scripture

Esther 1:5-6 

And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, even days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace; Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.

Favorite Book Friday

Love, Lies, and Homemade Pies (Abundance series Book 0) by Sally Bayless contemporary Christian romance. A sweet story of overcoming fear and embracing forgiveness.

Love and Roses (The Abundance series book 3) by Sally Bayless contemporary Christian romance. This had two romances in it, the stories intertwined. A fun bonus. I'm looking forward to reading the only book in the series I haven't read yet.

Love Once More (The Abundance series book 4) by Sally Bayless contemporary Christian romance. Another two-for, two romance stories intertwined. Loved it. An enjoyable series.

Monday Quote

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way." ~ M.L. Haskins

Sunday Scripture

Esther 1:1-4

Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:) That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him: When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.
