Great thoughts here. Thank you. I think the lesson that always stings is the one where our pride finally comes tumbling down. But the relief when it does, because our God in Christ, is good, is such a balm. And lo and behold, He builds us better than we ever could ourselves! Lord, may You guide all our discernments so we may listen well, repent of our lack of humility, and put our trust in You.
I really appreciate you sharing your story, Ashley! I started following your editing business long before I recognized that I wanted to pursue book editing myself (trying to get the business up and running is a whole thing I'm trying to navigate). And now at a moment when I know that I want to start a family soon, finding your "revised" story feels like kismet in understanding how your parenting, spiritual, and business journey has tied together and shifted your course. So, thank you for sharing so honestly! <3

Yes, pride is such a tough thing to get over! Thanks for reading!
Thank you! Lots of wisdom to ponder here!

Good to hear from you, Mikael! I hope your endeavors in editing are a blessing to you. :)
Thank you! I love the work so much it's painful when I don't have a book to edit. XD
It's the seasons that are a little tougher to ride through, but working on diversifying my business a little bit to help smooth those bumps.
