Opportunity is a theme of mine for 2012, so I thought I’d use the word as part of the A2Z meme this week. Opportunities Taken: Surrendering my angry, bitter, me-first self to Christ. Marrying my husband and enjoying his two children. Believing God for motherhood. Giving a tribute to my dad, the last conversation he was able to have before his passing. Writing my doctor to alert him that his [...]

Before I start, I wanted to let you know about a great sale J.E. Lowder’s publisher is offering from Valentine’s to St. Patrick’s Day. The sale, Red to Green, is for the Kindle version of Tears of Min Brock. I reviewed this in 2011 and the $2.99 sale is a steal. Check it out today! Joanne Sher is the creative mind behind the FaithWriters blog and I thought I’d share [...]

I remember being nervous because she was ahead of the game. Each week during the FaithWriters challenges [...]

It’s a busy writing week this week and I thought I’d direct you to some things going on.           Three Children’s Games Your Marriage Should Avoid is one of those writings that I typed and God gave and gave. I was in a summer meeting sharing something God grew me through. My problem, I said, was that I was playing “Whack-A-Mole” in my role, hiding when [...]
