The highs and lows of writing are, well, very high and very low. (Shocking!) 😂
My flesh defaults to giving an agent, publisher, or book reviewer too much power over my emotions. I remind myself DAILY that offers and rejections mean nothing unless I know who I am in Christ.
And the best part? When I know who I am in Christ those other things lose their power to stir my pride, awaken fear of man, or beat me down. They can encourage me, correct me, and humble me, but they can no longer control me.
What are the things in your life that tempt you to elevate them in unhealthy ways?
