Just last night I had a very vivid dream that I met with an agent I have my eyes on and she liked me, but she thought my book was too formulated. :) In my dream I was momentarily dissapointed, but I had hope that I had learned from her comment and the next one would be better! Only God knows His plans for me, so I will trust Him to bring them to fruition, because His Word tells me the plans are good! Thank you for stopping by this morning. It's always so nice to see your sunny smile and read your encouraging words.Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-92137581970647019252012-09-15T09:19:29.105-05:002012-09-15T09:19:29.105-05:00Gabrielle, I think these wonderful friends and you...Gabrielle, I think these wonderful friends and your path to the conference are confirmation that God's has something very special in store for you and your writing heart:) I'm so thrilled for you and will be praying for you each day in Dallas!

My husband and dad are too. I have a mentor who constantly reminds me to lay this writing thing down at the Lord's feet, and that's much needed too. And of course, my awesome CP Melissa keeps me sane when I want to go dive off a cliff or drown out my sorrows in a tub of Blue Bell ice cream...<br /><br />Funny, one of my blog posts next week that I'm contemplating is about the gift of friendship, and how God never intended for us to go at this thing (life!) alone. <br /><br />Can't wait to have what I'm sure will be late-night chat sessions filled with laughter and dreams!Lindsay Harrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379628592162011068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-59759764852676756232012-09-14T10:48:01.949-05:002012-09-14T10:48:01.949-05:00Priceless...friends like that are absolutely price...Priceless...friends like that are absolutely priceless.

Just a couple weeks ago, two of my "bestest" friends came down to visit me. I hate that we live three hours apart, but I love that we can get together and feel like no time at all has passed. Writing friends are amazing, too--the way they so totally "get" me. The MBT team has been an incredible encouragement to me...and my too-cool-for-words CP, Lindsay!! And so many fun friends I've met online.

Thank you for the encouragement for the conference. I look forward to sharing my experiences when I return home!<br /><br />Livia - that's one of the negative sides of a blog relationship, the part about not being able to connect in person. I'm excited to go to the conference where I'll finally be meeting some of my blog friends in person. Looking forward to it!<br /><br />Ava - that's the beautiful thing about a dream - it has seeds that are easily planted into the hearts of those closest to you - which really is a gift straight from the Throne Room. Looking forward to seeing you next week, Ava, and sharing in your dream!<br /><br />Keli - I couldn't agree more. I love that the tangible gifts are the ones that I can hold when I need to be reminded of the gifts of their hearts - especially the one in the envelope...I'm so eager to see what it is!!<br /><br />Becky - I'm so happy I could encourage you to let your friends know how much you care. That's one reason I wrote this blog post - I wanted to thank mine for their love and support. I agree - my husband is my greatest supporter and I even told him that the other night while I was crying those tears of gladness. This dream starts at the core, right where we're woven together, and I couldn't do any of this without him.<br /><br />Jessica - I LOVE that they bought you pink sharpies! I'm looking forward to having you sign a book for me! :) God is so good and I'm reminded of that when I look around at my friends and family. Looking forward to seeing you, too!!!!<br /><br />Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-32154827001924066922012-09-14T06:24:36.394-05:002012-09-14T06:24:36.394-05:00OH this is so beautiful!

When I was offered representation, my gaggle of girlfriends took me out, bought me dinner and presented me with gifts then told me why they chose what they did. I got pink Sharpies (I love pink) that can only be opened when I do my first book signing (LOL)! Can't wait to meet you!Jessica R.

They DO fill my cup so wonderfully, especially Suzi, my bestie. My husband, he is the table on which my cup stands. Without his sturdy support underneath me, I would surely topple and break or simply be useless. I need to let these people know TODAY how important they are to me.<br /><br />You are one blessed woman, Gabe.
