News That Just Can’t Wait

So this is a bit unusual.

I might occasionally send out a newsy note, but not typically on a Monday.

And not in the middle of the month.

But I’m so full of news that I felt it just couldn’t wait!

Besides the holidays are almost upon us and before that season gets really rolling, there are a few things that I thought you’d want to know about . . .

Preparing for the Holidays

So speaking of the holidays, they are coming up soon! I know that for many, this can be a stress-filled and/or difficult time of year – even if it’s not the way anyone ever wanted it to be.

I’m hoping to offer encouragement, inspiration, practical tips, and some delicious recipes to make your holidays a true celebration that everyone enjoys.

Wait. Did she really say delicious recipes?

I did. That’s my first surprise!

My friend and fabulous food-blogger, Chelsia from CatzInTheKitchen, is going to be sharing some of her incredibly yummy recipes with us, starting this Friday.

I’m telling ya, this lady likes just about pumpkin everything, so you can see why we’d get along so well. Yep. I can hardly wait!

And Guess Who’s Coming?

Are you ready to be greatly blessed?  Because some of the most lovely people will be sharing with us over the next month or two. Look at who will be joining us…..

My long-time  friend, Randy Alcorn – best-selling author of Heaven and many other books – will be sharing with us later this month. You can simply count on being both encouraged and challenged by him!
Also, Sara Hagerty, my sweet friend and author of the newly released Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things, will be a guest with us as well. Be prepared to have your heart touched by her beautiful words and touching story!
Another new and gifted friend, Tricia Goyer, the author of many inspirational books, will be sharing with us too (far right of photo). I was able to spend an amazing week-end in Montana last month with her and and several other dear writer-friends.
And then our own Christy Fitzwater (far left of photo), who writes for us regularly here, has another heart-warming story coming up. I’m always blessed by what she has to share!

So you can see why I’m so excited now, can’t you?

Lots and lots of good things coming our way!

An Uncommon Love

“I eagerly read the first 5 chapters and can’t wait to read the rest! This is such a refreshing love story that is based on God, prayer, and actual love!” ~ A Reader.

Most of you have been following our true-life love story, An Uncommon Love, and we’ve been encouraged – and a little surprised – at your enthusiastic response! So thank you, friends.

Matthew will be be posting Chapter 6 this coming Wednesday and I confess that I’m as eager as the the next person because I don’t get to to see what’s he’s written until after it’s done. Makes it rather fun for me too.

And for those of you who’ve been asking if we’re going to turn our story into a book?

The short answer is YES! We’re just praying now on the best way to go about that. We’d appreciate your prayers for us too—for wisdom and direction.

LAST DAY for the Ultimate Christian Bundle

And for those of you interested in the Ultimate Christian Living Bundle, this is the LAST day that it will be available.

If you’re unfamiliar with  the Ultimate Bundle, it is a collection of eBooks, eCourses, and music that is designed to equip you to strengthen your faith and celebrate your love for Christ as a family. It’s only offered once a year and this sale ends Monday, Nov. 10th at 11:59pm (EST).

I wrote what I like about it HERE. Or you can learn more details HERE.

So on this chilly Monday morning,  I hope you’re blessed and encouraged!

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers… ~ I Thess.1:2

Thankful for you,

 

P.S. You might have noticed that I recently had my photo updated. Not my favorite thing to do, but it needed to be done. So here’s a fall-ish and a little older me!

*A small reminder, or if you’re new here: It’s my policy to only recommend products that I actually use myself and genuinely love. I might get a small commission for these, but this does not in any way affect your price. See my full disclosure.
