Ok….so I just noticed that this post is old??? Why in the world did it pop up first when I went to your blog?? Is that strange or what? Hmmmmm………

Well, anyways, I still meant everything I said.

Marla…..I think you’re amazing. I also find it interesting that I came to your blog tonight to catch up on my Radical entries because I told you I would. A study you initiated of a book that is rocking people’s worlds…..including yours. You’re right in saying that you don’t know what to do next, but I think that’s exactly where God wants us to be so we are completely empty and ready. It’s tough and it hurts our feelings, but it is the true definition of being “empty” of ourselves so He can use us.

Be sad. Cry. Throw something. Whatever…..but then get ready for what’s next. Then go back and read the comments from people reading Radical and see how you’ve had an incredible influence already.

Love you girl. I can NOT wait to see what happens next. I, for one, am going to take advantage of this to start praying you back to Cambodia….even if for somewhat selfish reasons.

XOXO

I have this feeling that you are going to give Gabe his two days back. You are over it.. and going to find the blessing in the midst of this and likely encourage every one of us through it.

Well Marla I’m really sorry to hear that your book is going out of print as 2 of your books have particularly impacted my life in recent years. I bought ‘Blushing’ in desperation just after I got married when I was really struggling to get used to my new life with my husband. I also specifically asked my local Christian bookshop here in Wellington, New Zealand to get ‘Expecting’ in for me when I first found out that I was pregnant. Again it made a huge difference to the way I saw my pregnancy in terms of dedicating each development milestone week by week to the Lord. So you’ve made a huge difference in my life during these huge transitional times and I’m all the way down here in New Zealand! Thank you!

Hello, Marla;

I host a community blog for nonfiction writers. I’ve been looking for a guest blogger to write about how a book goes out of print and the feelings that experience brings. Check out the blog and see if that might be something you’d be willing to do: http://aspiringwritersofnonfiction.blogspot.com/.

Be blessed,

Lynnda

I was debating ordering a copy of “Is that All He Thinks About?”, and now I definitely will. Not ready for the baby books yet though.

I’m so sorry. That must sting and hurt. You totally get 2 days to be sad. BUT when you come back in 2 days are ready for the good news….God has something bigger. That speaking thing that’s taking off….I just bet it’s from Him And who knows what He has for each of tomorrow!

Marla I’m so sorry about the news you received. But one thing I know for sure; once a writer always a writer! Your writing will never stop because that love and need deep within to get your thoughts out in the form of written word never goes away. Thank you for following God with the gift he has given you and know that He is pleased. He is more than pleased. He is proud! And you will continue to make Him proud in the speaking. Just keep youself connected to Him sister.
