A Blessing For Us

By
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.

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

Here are 2 blessings/verses for you Christian fiction writers/authors:

(1) 2 Chronicles 15:7 - But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. (NIV)

(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)

Praying for an enjoyable, fruitful, & restorative time for each of you at the ACFW conference this week!

Suzanne Woods Fisher - Overcoming the Fear of Failure

By
We've all had something fail. Maybe a school assignment, baking a cake, changing a car tire. Well that was my shortlist confession. There really is a mile long list that you don't want to hear.  Talk about a quick drive to the blues. Even one negative comment in a barrel full of praises can take us down. Sigh. Why oh why do we remember the one negative one and forget the positives.  You are not alone. We all do this. But there is a way of escape. Today, Suzanne Woods Fisher is going to share her story. The Fear of Failure “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you. Do not fear; I will help you” (Isaiah 41:13, niv).              Years ago, before I received my first book contract, an editor returned a manuscript to me with the comment that the writing wasn’t up to her publishing house’s “caliber.”  Ouch!  That was a tough remark to swal...

A Memory Device For You

By
Photo Courtesy Recently I added a memory game to my week's activities.  It all started when I listened to one of those fabulous sermons in church and actually took notes. Later in the week, I recalled liking the sermon and searched for the notes, but lamented when I couldn't find the piece of paper. I quizzed myself: What was the general topic? I racked my brain…good grief this was Thursday and a thousand other things had happened when I asked the question. After a cup of tea, visualizing where I sat in the sanctuary, and using every other means possible to remember the general topic I finally answered the question.  The process to recall the rest of the good things said was an epic fail.  Although I have since started using a notebook I have created a memory game. On Monday, at any point during the day, I try to say the following without the use of my notes: General topic of the sermon Main book of the Bible used  Application p...

Laughter and Singing at the Homeless Shelter

By
It was a night to remember. A night to tell friends about. So I am... Fifty men, women, and teens rode in busses on icy expressways into the inner city. They poured out of the bus at a homeless shelter unsure where to go, what to do, or what to say. One led the pack through the main doors, pass security checkpoints, and on through winding hallways to a large room. At night, this room is filled, wall to wall, with cots, blankets, and at this time of year, cold homeless men, women, and children. On this evening before the night, hundreds of chairs formed straight rows and faced a platform.   The fifty set up sound and instrument equipment. Singers cozied in the limited platform space. Instrumentalists tuned their instruments.  A few residents poked their heads in the door. Intrigued, they came in and watched the first measures of several songs start, stop, start again. Microphone levels adjusted. The singers laughed. Chattered. The group stepped off to the side and...
