As someone who wrote and submitted and got rejected for nearly FIFTEEN years--and quit writing several times--I can definitely attest to the statement that God gives you a breakthrough when the time is right not when you hit bottom.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey--it made me cry (does that make me a crybaby too?). I pray every day for the kind of perseverence you have and the humility to lay the journey at the feet of Jesus. Thanks for being a great example in all that you do!
