Why now?
Why would I start a publishing company now, in the throws of getting married and working full time and college? Why start when things are so uncertain, and I don't have things perfectly planned, like I usually wait until?
Why right now?
Because it felt right.
Not in the iron-pressed silk way that things feel right when I've planned them meticulously, like my wedding. But in the lightning-strike omen sort of way.
I knew I always wanted to name my company Queen Anne's Lace. And this year, the wildflowers are abundant. They're everywhere I look.
I'm running the Adult Writing Group at work, and they wanted to put together a poetry anthology and receive their portion of royalties as they're entitled to. And the library certainly didn't want to deal with that tax paperwork.
Somehow, unexpectedly, the amount I needed to sign up for an LLC and a vendor license fell into my lap, straight from my college. I had never even know I was getting the money.
The Lord is faithful.
Everywhere I look I see that faithfulness. Each bursting bloom of wildflowers on the side of the road seemed to be a whisper, saying "I am here."
The Lord has given me a peace that I am not used to, especially not when I do something so spur of the moment. But it feels right. Somehow, it right. It is well.
So, the answer to, why would I make a publishing house in the middle of the busiest time of my life, with little-to-no thought ahead?
Because the Lord is faithful, and I have faith him in.
