I Get Around + iParent.tv Subscription Winner

This is about the time when the Beach Boys are singing in my head.
It's that time of year, folks. I just logged in 2 hours of yard work while the kids played outside. We're getting serious about our garden and I planted some flowers, too. So exciting!!

But, that's not all I've been up to.  I've gotten around cyberspace quite a lot this month.  But before we get to that, we have some exciting business to take care of.

Jane M. You are the winner of the one-year subscription to iParent.tv. They have been notified (and you have, too). so they should be contacting you really soon.

This month I shared at Marriage Motherhood and Missions  about the one of the fears missionaries face - the fear of being forgotten. Have you forgotten your missionary? Here is a quote from my article:

"I truly believe that loneliness affects missionaries to a greater degree because they are so isolated from family and friends. While the Internet bridges that gap in some ways, it can never replace a written card, a shoulder to cry on, or a hand to hold on to when you feel like you’re losing your grip on thing called “life”.   ==> Read more here



 I really shared from the depths of my heart at Missional Women this month. My post "When Ministry Doesn't Go the Way We Plan" really laid my heart bare as I shared some of my own failures as a missionary.  Here is a quote from the article:

"During my time here, I have struggled to hang on my those selfish dreams, been forced to let them go, cried tears of loss and disappointment, considered myself a miserable failure, and come to peace with the fact that I cannot -  must not - live. It must be Christ who lives in me..." ==> Read more here


I was honored last month to be invited to join a great team of writers for the devotional blog Coffee for the Soul. Pop on over there and check them out. I am sure you will recognize many of the contributors. These are some of Faith-Bloggers' finest, and believe me, I am honored (and humbled) to work along side of them. This month my first post went up: The Limitless Grace of God.That is my life story! Here is a snippet:

"[Grace] removes the  need for all other atonement. We could spend the rest of our days trying to atone for even one sin we’ve committed and it would never be enough. But God’s grace is enough to atone for them all; because God knew that on this journey from our salvation until we reach the pearly gates, there will be much need for atonement." ==> Read more here 


Can I just say that I am still in awe of the fact that the humble offerings I present here are picked up by a magazine I read as a kid? It is really humbling, because I am not a professional writer. I simply bare my soul - and the fact that there are people out there who consider it good enough to read is really astounding to me. I really mean that sincerely. I really do find it amazing.

This month, SpiritLed Woman picked up two articles. First of all, they made my son a star (isn't that just cute??)  and posted a portion of my article on how to teach your children to memorize God's Word.

Just yesterday they published my article "When Ministry Doesn't Go the Way We Plan".



One more thing. Look at that down there! Isn't that just beautiful???? I am really excited about this new book "Tidbits from Help Meets' Hearts", not just because I am a contributing author, also because I teamed up with an awesome bunch of wives to offer bits of wisdom from our hearts. Be watching for more information and a giveaway of this amazing book!!
