The Flash of Springtime

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse (Roman’s 1:19-20)

All around me I see the glory of the Lord on display as the daffodils burst forth in radiant yellow hues and tulips creep up from what was hardened soil to display bold pinks, reds and plum colored petals.  How can people deny you, Lord? I see such creativity in all you have designed, and my heart is overcome. No one creates as beautifully as your hand. Every star you have placed is known to you. I am known to you.  You have loved me with an everlasting love.  I cannot stay silent about the goodness you have poured out in my life and for countless others you call sons and daughters.

Life is moving swiftly, and Satan wants nothing more than to distract us. Keep us so busy that we don’t spend time with God, and then we forget His goodness and the countless blessings.  Get outside.  Stop and look around you. He created birds to sing sweetly to you and rains to lull you to sleep.  He has never loved you more.  Give Him thanks for all He has created and all He has done in your life.  He is not finished with our stories.  Amen.

Blessed Beyond Measure

This journey into the various aspects of the digital world has been challenging at times.  As I was ready to have some of my books to purchase at a business, my husband said my flyer should have a QR code attached to it. Great idea,  but I didn’t know the first thing about how to create one. Between Google and my husband’s perseverance, I now have a QR code for readers to have easy access to purchase my book.  Grateful, thankful, and blessed.  My husband is my greatest supporter in this writing journey.

Cultivating Faith

The Journey: From Dreams to Devotionals

When I first had imagined becoming an author, I must admit my initial attempts were to create a children’s book. There were several starts and stops, but never a complete work. For years, I placed the idea of writing out of my mind. I did journal for years. It was more of a personal outlet. An opportunity to communicate my thoughts and prayers onto paper. Little did I know that God was using that time as preparation. In 2019, a desire to write about my experiences in my faith and relationship with God resulted in my first published book: Cultivating Faith. The 365-day devotional took two and half years to write and over seven months to get published. It was truly an act of obedience to the calling I felt God had placed in my heart. There were several times I convinced myself that what I had to share could not really impact other Christians. However, I persevered and finished what I started. It is my act of going and declaring the gospel to others.

This month, my second book: Cultivating Faith: Growing Deeper is set to launch. This is a 90-day devotional book. There are at least 3 more 90-day devotional books to come in time. I continue to write. Amazed that God took the desire of my heart and generated something I had never imagined. The personal growth to me has been the best part of the journey. Knowing that when I dedicate time to write, God shows up to reveal something to me and hopefully my readers, just blesses me beyond all measure.
