Christmas And Writer’s Block

The house is so quiet, but I know it's only for a moment.  While my sweet child naps, my mind embraces the silence.  I sit here staring at the sea of white which is a blank page on my screen.  It's been so long since I've written a blog post about fun stuff.  Stuff not related to unemployment or an eBook or promoting someone else's product or website.

There's nothing worse than having a passion for writing, and then suffering from writers block.  How is it that I can write a ten chapter book on surviving the emotional roller coaster ...

Spread The Good News

I still remember her first Christmas.  My daughter Faith was nearly 8 months old, yet I was adamant that we teach her the real reason we celebrate Christmas.  So along with regular church and Sunday school attendance throughout the year, we created family traditions for Christmastime that would help instill the good news of Jesus into her heart.

Our collection of holiday children's books that I keep packed away with the tree and ornaments, bring renewed life to the story of Jesus each year when I pull out the decorations to prepare for Christmas.  And the choices for ...

Hope. Do You Have It?

Hope.   Do you have it?

Think of the hopeless blind man sitting on the roadside near Jericho, begging.  Eagerly he called out to Jesus pleading for mercy.  "Lord, I want to see."

Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you." (Luke 18:41-42)

Hope.  Do you have it?

Satan seemed victorious in the Garden of Eden and then again when Jesus died on the cross.   Thankfully, things aren't always as they seem.  God had a much greater plan.

His plan was Jesus.  It was the Son of God who, with a loving heart for you ...

Healthy Balance In Social Media

The girls and I over at the voiceBoks online community, often joke around about how we need to turn ourselves in to the local blogging rehab center.  We can't seem to get enough of our Social Media fun.

Even though many of us are stay-at-home moms, we've managed to find some time and energy to fuel our passion for writing, through our day to day blog posts or entrepreneurial ventures.

However, doing what we love is not the only pleasure that comes from having a blog.  We also get an opportunity to socialize with ...

God Of Wonders

 

Some days, we just need to take our focus off of ourselves.  Some days, we need to remember to give God the glory He deserves.  Some days, we just have to open our hearts and raise our hands in praise to our amazing Creator.

Today's song helps us do just that.  This is one of the first songs I listened to on my iPod during my recent half marathon.  That run was all about God.  He is Holy indeed.

So crank the volume up on your speakers and press play.   Worship Him!

Lessons From Ruth: Discovering Your Destiny

Have you ever stopped to contemplate what your destiny is?  Perhaps you wonder where your life story fits into the plans and purposes of God's will.

These types of thoughts go through my mind quite frequently.   Especially as I learn more and more about different biblical characters.  Truth be told, I'm fascinated by most, if not all of them!  Many of them were ordinary, everyday sinful people like you and me.

Just like you and I, they went through tough times and faced difficult choices in their life.  The cool thing is, these choices forever changed their lives and their ...

Give Thanks

As I sit here this morning thinking of what this day means to me, I can't help but recognize the silence in our home.  The quiet of morning when my husband and girls are still peacefully slumbering, is the time when God and I really connect.  This time is so precious to me and I'm so thankful for His protection, His peace, His love, His forgiveness, His grace, His wisdom, His strength, His comfort, and His joy.

Through His word, God speaks to me, reminding me...

Be Joyful Always.  Pray Continuously.  Give Thanks In All Circumstances, For This ...
