It’s Time to Stand Strong
I haven't felt like doing my personal quiet time for a while now. Ever since I got sick where my stomach felt nauseated for over two months last August. I just have no desire to do it at all anymore. I've prayed about it but the desire is still not there. Well, I decided to spend the last couple of hours literally going through many, many reading plans on bible.com. They have tons to choose from and probably add more to their database all the time. I have now saved over 80 different plans … [Read more...]
“All My Movies” is the PERFECT answer
Wow, I've never done this before. I am going to write a review about a software program that I've only just started to use. Here is what our Blu-ray/DVD collection currently looks like (and yes we have almost two full shelving units filled with them :) : The left picture shows all the adult (not for kids) movies and any seasons for shows that we've liked. The right picture show all our Christmas movies, kid-friendly movies, and some workout videos. For years I've wanted to created a … [Read more...]
The Journey with Cathy Elliott #acfw #thejourney
Please welcome this week's guest Cathy Elliott for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? Bloom Where You’re Planted? When I finally answered the writer call, it was with the words, “What shall I write?” The desire had long been nestled inside, popping up every so often, tapping me on the heart. But the nudge seemed playful, without purpose. Now, at-the-ready, I felt lost before my journey even began. At my first writers group meeting, … [Read more...]
The Journey with Kimberly Rose Johnson #acfw
Please welcome this week's guest Kimberly Rose Johnson for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? I started my writing journey in 2006. I can’t believe it’s been nine years! The time has gone by so fast. In that time I’ve grown as a writer, a person, and in my walk with the Lord. I attended my first writer’s conference in the summer of 2006. It was at the Oregon Christian Writer’s conference where I probably learned more at that one … [Read more...]
The Journey with Elise Stone
Please welcome this week's guest Elise Stone for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? I was raised a Christian. I went to Sunday School and church every Sunday, sang in the choir, attended the youth group. I wrote my first story in kindergarten. I suppose “wrote” is exaggerating a bit. I drew a series of pictures, cartoon panels, and my mother wrote the words underneath. Both God and writing were very important, albeit separate, … [Read more...]
The Journey with Michelle Ule #acfw
Please welcome this week's guest Michelle Ule for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? A Dream, a Sunbeam, a Little Girl and a Surprising Best Seller By Michelle Ule Like many people, I’ve dreamed of writing a book my entire life. I scribbled my first attempt at the age of seven but when I managed to get all the action in on the first three pages, I knew writing was harder work than I imagined! I majored in English Literature at UCLA … [Read more...]
The Journey with Jean Ann Williams #acfw
Please welcome this week's guest Jean Anne Williams for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? My writing journey began before I even knew it, and God had a plan. I’ve always had lots of energy—no I don’t drink coffee—I come by this naturally. Sitting still for very long wasn’t in my vocabulary until one Sunday on July 2, 1994. On my way to worship services in my little Honda Accord, I slowed for a familiar incline and then the dip in … [Read more...]
The Journey with Jennifer Slattery #acfw
Please welcome back this weeks guest Jennifer Slattery for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? If only we could see things from God’s perspective, imagine the heart ache, frustration, or plain foolishness we’d avoid! If only, when we can’t see, we’d learn to trust, knowing God is indeed good even when it feels as if everything’s falling apart. His love is ever-reaching, ever-healing, ever-drawing, even when we feel all alone. And His … [Read more...]
Sorry it took so long… #acfw
I sit here this morning thinking back on the last couple of months, and the time seems to have flown by. Only eight months ago I sat up in my room with my husband discussing with him why I felt I needed to go to the ACFW writers conference in September. Besides that awesome friends I'll finally get to meet in person (Joy Avery Melville, Julie Lessman, Dineen Miller, just to name a few :) ) and the fantastic workshops I'll get to go to, I'll have that rare opportunity to pitch both my fiction … [Read more...]
