It came! Only three days of waiting and Stepping into Sunlight has arrived on my doorstep.
This afternoon, desperate for reading, I biked to our local library. (A distance of roughly 1.5 miles.) I went in with a list of books to borrow, left with only one collection of short stories. The library didn't have half the books I was looking for, and the ones they did have were in some obscure place where I did not want to go hunting.
I biked back home, thirsty, tired, in desperate need of shower. Silly me, though, forgot that I live next to a school. I returned just in time to be swept away in a sea of middle-schoolers heading back to their own houses.
Let's just say that it was a while before I reached home.
Anyway, I shower, loll around, read a bit of my library book. (Told you I could never get far in these things!) I've practiced my music for worship this Sunday, and I'm thinking that I'll start typing on my wip when I see the UPS man stop next door.
"Oh, he's delievering a package for my neighbors," I think wistfully. "Oh well, at least soon he'll be coming here to give me my book."
And what do you know but he walks right up to my front door?
He dropped it off (literally: he set it on the doorstep, even though I was standing right there. I think my beaming smile scared him away) and I instantly tore through the package to stare at the glossy cover. I tried posting a picture, but I'm not sure whether or not it will come through.
Either way, I'm jazzed. God is good!
