2021 NEW YEAR WORD - COLLABORATION

Words flowed and I thought they were for this blog post, but then as I wrote I realized this is for another book...So I’m keeping it close to my chest! Instead I’ll share with you a piece of it. An event, which will be in a future book, occurred in my life in 2019. Since then God gives me a hashtag word that guides me through the year. Each of these words build on the year before and when I follow them, breakthroughs happen. He uses them to guide me in direction where He wants me to go and backs them up with tons of Scripture. It’s quite the way to live!!

SOMETHING had to happen on this most special day haha. Getting out of the car and heading towards the building for a board meeting, I no...

Books, Authors, Doctors, and Commissary Conundrums

What a day! This morning a new friend in the military who I am getting to know picked me up to take me to a local church for an author speaking event. The book was one she came across and shared with me written by a wife and mom in the military named Carrie Daws. I connected so much with the author!  We had so much in common. From both of us having taken the Christian Writer's Guild writing program (she is the first I have ever met in my life who mentioned taking this! She was surprised to hear that I knew what it was!) AND has a daughter who struggles with weight, diet, exercise, etc because of how naturally petite she is.  She also has become a writer because of life circumstances and is an info junkie! Always reading something and absorbing information like a sponge. We are so alike! In so many ways I knew I was meant to be there to meet this woman. I got a chance to talk with her. She is so down to earth, homeschool mom, and EXPERIENCED with an incredible testimony. Sh...
