Woohoo! I so excited for you! This year the ACFW Conference is going to be even more special. I wish I was going, but I’ll be pulling for you from here at home just as if I were there.The only way I think I could go is if I were to sell another book and get another advance. Why does everything always have to come down to money? Sad isn’t it, that money is the deciding factor in so many things.
