Living life while reading, writing, teaching, singing, creating a home, wearing flip-flops, & just trying to stay ahead of the stories in my brain.

#ACFWKidLit has a new contest!

Life can be a roller coaster. Happy or sad, changes overwhelm. But I found this serene beauty, by my hubby's grandma, reminding me of the truth: "He leads me beside still waters" Ps. 23:2. My Good Shepherd's got it under control.
How has God used art to calm your frantic soul?

My seat. In coach. On a 13-hour flight! I could prop my feet up on the wall the WHOLE way.
WOW! Just WOW! An incredibly sweet outpouring of His #love and #grace. Thank you, Lord!

It's cake! Almond, orange, and chocolate kek lapis sarawak, from #greatbritishbakeoff.
When I saw Season 10 festival week, I knew I had to try this grilled cake. Boy, was it fun--and tasty.
This show is my biggest #distraction when I'm supposed to be #writing.
What's yours?

3/3
And we can trust them, reminding ourselves of these words-- *Blessed is she who believes the Lord.*

I want to be that kind of woman. Even when it's hard to understand.

1/3: As I work on this year's #HeartofChristmas magazine, this verse stood out. Mary was told she would give birth to the Son of God. That her pregnancy would be miraculous--with no earthly father. Hard to understand. But Mary believed.
This beautiful verse was spoken of her.

2/3: Angels don't visit me with messages, but the Bible is full of #truth that is promised to us. Sometimes those promises are hard to understand--they don't happen right away, they look different than expected, or they won't happen until we die.
Yet, they're still 100% true.

This little beauty just begged for a picture.
As a kid I didn't appreciate #fallcolors. It meant school starting. Besides, I look horrible in orange and yellow. But as I've grown, the season has grown on me. Maybe because I realized I could enjoy it without wearing it.

Fall Is Not Easy is a hilarious #autumnbook that will have you dreaming up other possibilities.
And I'm dying to know what drove his dedication: "for my art critic wife, Kerri. She just knows…"
I'd love an author Q&A on that.
Ever had a dedication do that to you? #picturebook

Well, this is fun. Such great names on this list--it's an honor to be listed with them for my flash fiction, "Over the Moon."

Congratulations to the 2023 Writer of the Year Semifinalists!!!!

[wish I could list all of you, but it requires too many characters :( ]

@josie_siler Not always easy, but true!

Same day a “few” decades ago. So thankful for the #giftoflife.

Praying that each day of this next trip around the sun will be lived well—not for myself or my own “bucket list,” but for the One who gives me breath.

"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." ~Chuck Swindoll
On a day when I'm tempted to react, I'm remembering who holds the future. I trust in His promises.

He's got this!

Sometimes I just need the reminder.

Taking a little break, and can't wait to read Season of My Enemy by @NaomiMusch.
I had the pleasure of meeting the author at a writers' retreat and I look forward to hearing her voice on the pages as she takes me back to WWII.
Check back for my review. 😀 #reading #bookreviews
