poetry and prose

I feel God moving through me every single day lately. God keeps presenting me with opportunities that I need, but am so scared to take. I feel so alone in these moments—even when surrounded by others.

God, I pray that you help me feel you with me in these difficult moments.

The change that I’ve been yearning for has been so painful to move through, and for some reason, that feels surprising.

I suppose I would’ve done it already if it wasn’t difficult.

Today I went to Barnes & Noble and was overcome with emotion while I stood in the children’s story section. I am so close to getting my book on a shelf.

I stood there today, imagining what it would feel like to be in a bookstore and see a book written by H. P. Logan?

The feeling that spread over me was an insurmountable joy, crashing over my heart and swimming through my soul. It’s so close that I can almost taste it, and it TASTES SO GOOD.

To be an author… a real published author… a fantasy that will never get old.

Thinking about mothers and fathers picking up one of MY books and reading it to THEIR children.. to think that someone child’s favorite story.. the one they ask to read over and over and over again could be one of MY books. To dream of a tour, signing books for families and children across the world—MY book—touching so many lives.

God, please show me the path there! Please illuminate the way with signs that you know I’ll notice. God, I pray for a marvelous life, filled with all my childhood dreams.

God, it feel so close! Just take me there! I know I must be patient and trust in your timing.

Until then…

Humbly yours.

H.P.L.
