Update #4: Faith & Fundraising!
I'm a sucker for positive signs...symbols, omens, clues, winks, thumbs up, green lights.
But sometimes I worry if, as a headstrong human, I manipulate simple facts to be signs from God.
"Brie is on sale! Could this be a sign that I should go to France?"
I am still far from my Kickstarter Project Fundraising Goal, and I find myself wondering if this is God's way of telling me that I shouldn't go on this trip. Or that perhaps I shouldn't write this book.
I pray constantly that I am on God's path and I ask him to steer me in the right direction if I'm going the wrong way.
But then I discover a sign. The apartment that I plan to rent in London sits below a cooking school and my writing is focused around the kitchen. The address is #52 which is the age that I hope to publish my book. Their website is Food at 52, check it out!
Then I open my email and read the Bible Verse of the Day, "If you had the faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you." Luke 17:6
Does God talk to me through email? Yep. Today He did.

Writer Kevi Sutter (former kitchen store owner, kitchen textile designer, and caterer) is about 21,000 words into her first 40,000 word manuscript.
She plans to have a book published before her 52nd birthday in 2013. Her husband and daughter are her head cheerleaders. A cat and 6 chickens make up the rest of the squad. Sutter hopes YOU will join in and help her achieve her creative goal.
Because of her spastic nature in front of a camera, Kevi welcomes all email questions that will help clarify her Kickstarter project. She is forever thankful to her 14 year old daughter for helping her salvage the video, which took her approximately 178 takes.
Check out her blog below to see samples of her passion for cooking, kitchens and writing.
