Dear Maria Morris,

Today I published the paperback version of the last and final part of your story. I have to say it was a happy, and sad, moment all at the same time.  You have been with me since 2007 and now, five years later, it is time for us to say goodbye.

In the years to come I am sure that I will write many characters, and books that people will say are better then the Destiny Trilogy.  However, I can't see any of them effecting me as much as your story did. As I wrote and edited your story, I often found myself praying or crying with the message God had in the story for me.  In 2009 and 2010, two of the hardest years of my life, God used your story to bring me hope and comfort.

I thank God for the stories and for a main character like you, Maria.  I couldn't have asked for any better.  I will miss you.  I will never forget the lessons you taught me, or the blessing you have been to me.  I hope that we will meet in a book again, someday (Quint is already bugging me about writing his story).

Farewell, for now.

Yours ever,
Sarah

This Sunday I spend most day reading a wonderful book. You can read my review here.  Today, I am busy working on a new book which I will share more about tomorrow.  See you then!

Oh, I almost forgot.  This is post 700 of this blog! Pretty cool milestone.

I realized that I never finished my post of the GOP convention.  Mainly because on Friday, I stayed at the convention center with everyone else working on the party platform.  That was exhausting, but fun.


On Saturday I met up with two very sweet girls. Michelle and I had a great time walking around the vendors. Brittney and I went to TeenPact together in 2006.  We haven't seen each other in a while so it was fun to catch up. 


It was a great convention.  I can't wait to do it again in two years.

This weekend I am at the Texas Republican State Convention!  This is my fourth  here is me with my badges.
