ACFW CONFERENCE, HERE I COME!

By Marion Kelley Bullock

We leave tomorrow afternoon to go to Abilene, because my flight out of Dallas is early Thursday morning. And I have to be there ninety minutes ahead.

The conference is about all I can think of. That and wondering if I've packed enough clothes, makeup, meds, snacks, etc. I pared things down till I could get everything in my small twenty-inch Protocol bag. Everything except the things I stuffed in my rolling tapestry bag that I'll carry my essentials in at the conference. That's tight packing, folks.

I'm almost ready. I'm thankful I can attend the conference, see my crit partner, Megan, and others I talk to on the loop. We'll miss Angie, our other crit partner. But each of us, in our own way, is reaching out for God's will in our lives. We'll pitch to publishers, because ultimately we want to be published. But most of all, we want what God wants for us.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV.
