This is Pure Satan

Back in 2000, I sent one of my novels to a well-known publisher for consideration.  Although the idea had potential, I didn’t know enough about plotting.  The story was rejected.  Then in 2008, my niece handed me a book and told me that it was really good.  While I was reading, similarities to my own story kept popping out at me.  By the time I finished the book, I was convinced the writer had gotten hold of my story.  I’ve been in a battle ever since.

I keep wondering why this happened to me, but I know who orchestrated it.  You see, I’ve also written Christian novels.  I guess Satan sees me as a threat.  He wanted to make certain I was too afraid to send out another story.  He may have succeeded.  I never want this to happen to me again.  The only way to ensure this is to keep my stories safe at home and never send them out into the world.  But what good are they if nobody but me ever reads them? 

Keep in mind that if you’re trying to follow God’s will in your life, Satan will try to oppose you.  Be vigilant.  But press on.  You have God on your side!
