I did it!
I decided to go ahead and publish my first book, Around the Next Corner, on Amazon Kindle. To say I'm excited is an understatement! I didn't really know how I would feel seeing my book out there for anyone to read, but it's pretty exciting! And scary.
Honestly, I've had thoughts of nervousness over the last few days about it.
What if no one likes it?
What if no one reads it?
What if it gets bad reviews?
The good thing is this: I know that I don't live in the "what if's" of life. I believe that God gave me this story to tell as a healing process for my own life as well as to help someone else. So, instead of thinking about the negative "what if's," I'm choosing to think of the positive ones.
What if this helps someone leave an abusive relationship?
What if this is used as a catalyst for forgiveness within a family relationship?
What if this brings even more awareness to domestic violence?
What if an editor or publisher sees it and likes it?
I didn't write this book to promote myself. I wrote it in hopes of helping someone escape an abusive relationship and know she could have a good life.
I hope a lot of people read it. Sure! But, more than anything, I hope Jesus is glorified through the story of Piper Phillips and her family.
