I have been up late nights and early mornings like I was nursing a new born baby!  I just sent my master manuscript maker (aka my editor) my final draft with my seal of approval!  I am hyper active by nature.  Life in general can be very exciting for me, even  simple things, such as foolishness with my boys.  Sanj comes home and I can literally  talk his ears off about nothing and do so quite animatedly. I am sure he often wonders if it is too late for me to be given a dose of methylphenidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I mean is that my mind does not know how to stop or even slow down.  I have plenty to do during the day, on top of going through the drafts and editing my manuscript.  I think I have it memorized! \ud83d\ude42  Now that I have to literally wait, I am feeling nauseous.  I have asked God for BIG.  I have had to analyze what I mean by that.  I realize that riches of the monetary kind isn&#8217;t going to come from my book! (Poor Sanj has dished out plenty a dollar to help this dream become a reality).  Yet it really wasn&#8217;t about the money.  It is about my story.  It is about my mom&#8217;s story, one that she never could tell.  It is about my brothers and I, how faithful God has been.  It is about God answering a little girl&#8217;s dream and blessing her with a beautiful man.  It&#8217;s a love story between God and me.  I love that!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love God&#8217;s faithfulness!!!!  I must add a disclaimer&#8230; my life is not perfect.  AT ALL. My children aren&#8217;t perfect.  My marriage isn&#8217;t perfect.   God hasn&#8217;t taken the hard stuff away.  But I think it really is what we choose to focus on.  Don&#8217;t you think?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guess what this is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"526\" height=\"235\" src=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fullsizeoutput_ed.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4876\" srcset=\"http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fullsizeoutput_ed.jpeg 526w, http:\/\/livinglovingbreathingboys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fullsizeoutput_ed-300x134.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><figcaption>Do you know what this is?<br><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have an ISBN number!!! International Standard Book Number is what every real book has.  It&#8217;s like a birth certificate for a new baby.  \ud83d\ude42 Ok, truth? I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s really true but it sounds good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahhhh&#8230; I have had 3 big God sightings today.  Each of the sightings affirmed something that I was insecure about.  I have had people reach out to me and offer their help\/services from the goodness of their heart.  I have yet to hear from Oprah.  Yet I am still holding onto hope.  If you know her, could you pass on the fact that she can reach me at reemasuk@gmail.com?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not sure I will get much sleep tonight.  My sleep aid that I have on hand for insomnia has let me down.  It&#8217;s all good, though.  I do my best thinking when everyone is sound sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My book will be available next week if all goes as planned.  Could you say a prayer for me that all will go well?  Amazon is backed up (apparently) due to COVID.  I even called them there and talked to a nice Amazon man who said they are doing their best to keep things on track.  Sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok I am actually writing to simply write.  Jordan is making dinner (YAH!), Max seems to be baking cookies and Josh has been yelled at 3 times to empty the dishwasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need this today, Jesus loves you.  Yes I&#8217;m His favourite but I know that second place is available!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This last week has been exhausting!
