on thin places

As much as I have enjoyed the guest posters who have shared this space with me, I am so glad to be back. Thank you for supporting the guest- posting women, and thank you as well to those of you who have submitted your fine writing. It has been my pleasure to host you.

Sometime last week, this came in the mail. If you haven’t read this post about how I saw Mary DeMuth at She Speaks and didn’t get her to sign my book, you may not know the sigificance of this. But Mary read the post and offered to send me my very own signed copy of her memoir. And she didn’t only offer, she actually did it. I smiled all the way from the mailbox.

I have more to say, but ironically, I won’t be saying it here. I am guest posting over at Mary DeMuth’s site today and sharing about a thin place in my life. Join me there and tell Mary hello?

P.S. Now, I have two copies of Thin Places. Does anyone want my first copy? Leave a comment and I’ll draw a name and send it to you!

    I’ve been checking in on the Thin Places posts since after the conference. I really liked yours today. I also read your post about meeting Mary without her book. I did the same thing that weekend with Angela Thomas. I was so excited to meet her and talk to her that I jumped in line without a book!! Everyone else was buying books and getting her to sign it and I was just standing there holding back tears waiting to talk with another “ordinary” girl like myself. So I know how you feel. What a blunder!!
    Anyway, I’ve toyed with the idea of submitting something to Thin Places but I’m not sure if it is good enough.
    Thanks for the change to win Mary’s book.

  64. Hi Emily! I was dissapointed to miss your session at She Speaks! I was in a publisher interview but ordered a copy of your CD!! Can’t wait to hear your story! I would love a chance to win Mary’s book. She blessed me so much by shredding my book proposal and giving me great insight and feedback. My proposal would not be the same without her, and both publishers requested my proposal at the conference! Praise God! I am thankful she invests so much time in other writers.
