the inspiration came.........

I am just an ordinary person. I live a lovely but ordinary life. I am married and have three small children and work in labor and delivery as a nurse. I was taking a bath one evening when a story came into my mind. It was not just any ordinary story. It was a story of the midwife who delivered Jesus Christ. The story came into my mind with complete detail from the beginning to the end. It was all I could think about for days and days. I decided that I needed to write it out. Thus the book Delivered was born. I began to write January 3, 2014 and finished the book April 4th, 2014. Three months of writing in every spare moment I had in my busy life. I have no idea how I completed the book in such short period of time. All I can say is that is was definitely by divine inspiration and guidance. There actually came a point when I was working on the book late at night after I had gotten off of work. It was February 4th almost exactly one month after I had started. I knew it was time to stop writing when the computer screen had started to blur. I went to save the manuscript when I accidently saved a blank document on top of my manuscript thus deleting the 171pages I had written so far. I sat looking at the screen feeling sick to my stomach. I wanted to quite right then and there. I do not have time for this I thought. I cannot possibly rewrite all of this. I felt a sense of peace come to me and I knew that it would be okay. I reluctantly began writing the manuscript again the very next day. It only took two more months to rewrite the deleted portion of the book and finish it completely. In the process of rewriting I discovered that the manuscript was not entirely accurate to the time period. When I started researching the history related to the book I discovered where my flaws in writing were. I made the corrections necessary and continued on with the book. I finished April 4th with a final word count of 97000. I was in awe of what I had accomplished but I knew in the end that it was not of my own doing and that I could not take all the credit. This was a book of inspiration. I was guided through out the entire process which allowed it to come into being. I love this story and the characters that have come forth from it. I hope to tell the world this story. It is one that has never been told before. It will change all that the world knows of the delivery of Jesus Christ and the path of one woman who played a significant role for Mary and Joseph.
