Planting Spiritual Seeds
Last month I wrote about honoring God and how I had failed to do that. Immediately following He began to speak to me about the spiritual seeds I’ve sown. My initial thought was to read Haggai, but the specific verses running through my mind were Habakkuk 3:17–19. “Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, […]

Do We Need to Honor God?
For the past several months my Bible reading has been in the Old Testament. I finished Numbers yesterday! The first 5 books of the Bible can be tough reading, but Holy Spirit has been showing me so much as I read. A question regularly on my mind as I read the extensive details of the […]

I Choose to Rejoice
As a follow-up to last month’s post, I’d like to share another revelation moment the Lord brought me shortly after the one I shared last month. I’ve been a born-again Christian since 1980. I’ve been in the habit of daily Bible reading for a long time. Therefore, during my quiet time, the Lord will often […]

Today I Choose to Believe
When I begin my daily Bible reading, I ask God to show me His truths, to open the eyes of my understanding that I might comprehend the Scriptures (Luke 22:45). I want to know Him more. And He is faithful to answer that prayer. Recently, I’ve been rereading Exodus. I have always wondered how the […]

The Subtle Lie of If Only One Person
Last month I looked at some of the subtle lies Satan plants in our hearts without us even knowing it. In actuality, I’m on a cleaning binge. I’m working to clean out the lies I have unwittingly embraced and that have kept me from enjoying the abundant life Jesus promised. A lie I’d like to […]

Expect God to Fulfill His Promises
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV). When I was a kid, my parents paid me a determined amount for each A and B I earned on […]

And the Birthday Winner Is…
Thank you all for helping me celebrate my birthday! It was such a fun week for me. Your answers to my question about whether to write one book with a double romance or an entirely separate book with a romance for Abby have given me lots of food for thought. As I continue writing book […]

It’s my Birthday. Let’s Celebrate
When I was a kid in elementary school, we used to bring goodies of some kind to share with our classmates to celebrate our birthdays. As I remember, my mom baked cupcakes. My twin sister and I were in the same classroom for kindergarten, but after that, the school encouraged my parents that we be […]

Ask the Author – My First Edit
A new post I’m starting this year is “Ask the Author.” That’s right, it’s your chance to ask your questions about me and my writing. The year’s first question comes from Chris Deanne: Tell me about your first edit. Every writer has his/her own process. Many write the full manuscript before doing any editing at […]
