I traveled a different route to work today.

I knew the way but haven’t driven that direction in a while. When I veered off the exit, it kept winding around and around and for a moment, I was in unfamiliar territory. Not quite sure I had gotten off the right place. I kept going and soon came to familiar landmarks and all was well.

Are you on unfamiliar territory this week? I’m thinking of my friends who are attending the American Christian Fiction Writers conference, perhaps for the first time. Take heart, if you keep going, you will find things will become more familiar and…all will be well.

If you are pitching your work to an editor, remember the lesson of the APTD : ) page 39 in the summer issue of The Journal.  And remember wherever you are traveling, Jesus has promised, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
