Anyone else notice how mysteriously God will work in our lives sometimes. Right when you need something the most he'll deliver you a blessing, but not the kind you'd ask for or expect.

When I've been at the point I am now on the previous Eye Witness books , getting so close the finish line that I can begin to see it, I tend to begin to wear down and feel the stress and strain of the last 13 months (like a runner when he rounds that last turn and see the tape). It's at this point I always pray for strength, inspiration and perseverance.

Today God answered my prayers and provided me all three, in the form of a simple message through facebook. A quite well known and well regarded writer/editor who's worked for many of the industries largest publishers and responsible for creating (or co-creating) some of the best comic material in the last 10 years, thanked me today for befriending him, because "he was a fan of mine"! Huh...what?

He told me had purchased the first Eye Witness book years ago and admired what I was doing, because it's something he's always wanted to do in the industry but "stuff" always seemed to get in the way of his doing it. Further more he offered his services to help me in any way he could.

Wow...talk about a jolt of energy without drinking a Monster! And to think, all I did was friend request this person when I ran across his icon on someone elses posting.

That Unknown God...He doth work in mysterious ways, my friends!
