A Blessing For Us

This is my rushed week.
The week I attend the ACFW Writers' Conference. I leave on Wednesday and will drive back next Monday.


Perhaps you are having a time when many events, tasks, whatever are happening/due. If not right at this time, you will have, I'm sure.



So here is a blessing for both of us:

May the Lord Bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
And give you peace
Numbers 6:24-26 KJV




For this reason I kneel before the Father, 
from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you 
with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. 
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 
may have power, together with all the believers, 
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ 
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, 
according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, 
for ever and ever! 
Amen
Ephesians 3:14-20

Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Thanks for the blessings you shared. I'm looking forward to seeing the blessings others will share on this.

Me too, Heather.

Heartfelt blessing. :)

Love this, Mary.

A verse I never, ever get tired of:

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. -Romans 15:13
Oh, yes. This is a good one.

Thanks, Melissa.

(2) Hebrews 6:10 - God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.(NIV)

Today I welcome  Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. Enter to win Laura's  September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t

She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night.  I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. entitled When Tomorrow C

Mary here.     I asked Terri: how has God led  you on your writing journey? Here is what she said:   Dreams God Has for Me Thank you Mary for hosting me today. When America was attacked in September 2011, the world changed. I remember my heart hurt for those who had suffered and died. I thought how could my writing ever mean anything to anyone when there were more important issues going on in the world.  I had been writing and trying to publish for eight years at that point and was getting discouraged. I had begun to think maybe it was time to let the dream of publishing go.  A few weeks after 9/11 my women’s Bible study went for a weekend retreat to the beach. The theme of the retreat was Dream Big. Throughout the weekend I kept wondering what God would want me to dream
