August 12, 2008
About a month ago, I posted Giving Birth to Your Book Part I, with plans to post Part II the following week. As you can see, birthing this baby is long overdue. Well, after reading today's entry, you won't be able to say, "Oh, Ms. Vonda, I don't know nothing about birthin' no books!"

- I'm So Proud of My Humility

August 4, 2008
As a little girl, I recognized the power in achievement. I wanted to be the best, to be noticed and appreciated for my skills and abilities. And even as the shortest student in my class, I fought for-and often won-a place in the hierarchy of leadership. Kids usually wanted me on their team.
I knew God would want me on His team, too. So, when I was nine or ten years old, I walked down the aisle of my church and announced my plans to become a missionary. Even though I had no idea what salvation was, I promised God I would go anywhere and tell others about Him if he would just do one little, itsy-bitsy thing-let my hamster, Snowball, live.
