Hello, all! This is an updated post, but one I think you’ll enjoy. Like other little girls, I often played “pretend.” I dreamed I was a princess, a Barbie, a mermaid, or a teacher. It changed from day-to-day. Between the ages of seven and eight, something else stirred within me. I realized I wanted to tell stories, too. I don’t know that I …
I’ll get right to the point. Friends, this is the story that will change your life. Pour yourselves a cup of coffee, grab a scone, and I’ll tell you why. I read more fiction than memoirs, but when I heard bits and pieces of Dabney Hedegard’s miraculous healing, I was hooked. I HAD to have this book. I had to know this young woman’s …
As many of you know, I’m a “see-the-glass-as-half-full” kind of gal. Like you, I’ve been handed a lemon or two (or maybe a dozen) in life. Good thing I like them in my tea. Hard times? Well, like Scarlett once said, “Tomorrow IS another day.” Challenges, disappointment, rejection, or trials? Got it covered. My God is bigger than any of that junk. Whether …
I didn’t always “play full out.” I liked to live life in my comfort zone and I didn’t want anything to upset the apple cart. An example: I asked Jesus into my heart and accepted Him as my personal Lord and Savior at the tender age of nine, and for a time, I almost burst with newfound joy. I shared …
Like other little girls, I often played “pretend.” I dreamed I was a princess, a Barbie, a mermaid, or a teacher. It changed from day-to-day. Between the ages of seven and eight, something else stirred within me. I realized I wanted to tell stories, too. I don’t know that I thought about it in terms of “writing.” I just thought it would be fun …
Do you ever wonder what causes us to keep going? To persevere? To march forward toward the light despite the dark shadows? Is it ambition? Courage? The prompting of the Holy Spirit? I believe we all possess “the stuff dreams are made of.” It’s not so much what we believe about ourselves as it is about God’s truth for our lives. …
Because we live in a world where instant gratification is the norm, rarely do we pick up a novel and continue to read without an immediate connection. That “connection” might be the subject matter, the writing style, or the author’s unique individuality. Then again, the reader magnetism might just be the story. When it’s clear from the outset that a novel has all …
I talked about this last year, but thought it might encourage you today… I think because I write, I equate a lot of life’s stages to writing. Perhaps, it’s the other way around. Writing probably intersects with various chapters of my life, too. If we think about the natural order of progression, it might not make sense to others the twists …
I love the word “celebrate.” I love what it represents. It’s a way of marking a special occasion or observing something noteworthy. When I hear celebrate I think happy thoughts. I think holidays, birthdays, wedding receptions, baby showers, anniversaries, team victories, and a host of other things. For some, additional reasons to celebrate might include: a great sale, a prime parking space, a job …
Gee whiz, is it just me or has society’s perception of romance become more than a bit skewed? I don’t know about you, but I’m worn out with television programing these days. Not to sound prudish, but when something is touted as a “romance” on T.V. I expect it to deliver; I don’t want to see unflattering portrayals of what …
