Write His Answer

Eat the elephant a bite at a time . . . You’ve heard the expression I’m sure and, no doubt, have faced your share of “elephants.”

Even though I’ve been directing the Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference since 1983 and the Colorado conference since 1997, each year, when I begin the planning process, it feels like an elephant takes up residence in my home office and threatens to squeeze everything else out of my life. Deadlines (I used to think they were exciting) constantly loom. I confess I haven’t always handled well the resulting stress and even panic.

But God . . . How I rejoice for all He is patiently teaching me, for the team He has brought alongside, and for His peace that really is beyond understanding. I am choosing to “Seek the Lord; yes, seek his strength. And seek his face untiringly” (1 Chron. 16:11 TLB). I know His promises can be depended upon, “For the Scriptures tell us that no one who believes in Christ will ever be disappointed” (Rom. 10:11 TLB).

I’m praising the Lord that the brochure for the May 15-18 Colorado conference is at the printer and for the additional 5% discount I wouldn’t have received if it had been done a week ago as I had planned. If I have your current USPS address, you can expect to receive it around February 22. But you don’t have to wait! The brochure is online at http://colorado.writehisanswer.com/brochure/.

Secure online registration opens on Monday, February 11, but you can download and print the registration form on page 15 of the brochure. Registrations postmarked today, Saturday, February 9, will be numbered ahead of those I receive online on Monday giving you a better opportunity to be among the first seven to register who will receive a free copy of my book, Write His Answer – A Bible Study for Christian Writers.

I am more excited about this year’s conference than any other. Father’s leading and enabling is so evident. I know He is going to meet us on the mountain. I hope to see you there!

Joyfully serving the Lord – Marlene
