Enter Rheumatoid Arthritis...

I had a reader message me lately asking when I would have more books out, and it made me realize how quiet I’ve been about WHY over here on my author page. So I’m going to post here what I posted to her as my reply... because I do feel bad often about how disengaged I’ve become about my books and author life. It’s just become so complicated.

So... this is where I’m at: I cannot wait for the day Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Dawn Crandall  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“God loves you, Meredyth, and wants to use your abilities to bless others as well as yourself. Even if you don't feel useful, you can be.”
Dawn Crandall, The Bound Heart

“I believe my using the talent He's given me is His will for my life. Why else would He have bothered giving it to me?”
Dawn Crandall, The Hesitant Heiress

“You just have too little faith, Estella...in yourself and in God. Don't assume that because He didn't give you one thing you wanted, He isn't ready to give you something else you might want more. He knows our desires better than we do, after all.”
Dawn Crandall, The Captive Imposter
