Complete,Thorough, Perfect


Consider your morning.

Photo by Mary Vee
As you woke, you inhaled a deep breath of life sustaining air. Was it crisp? Mine was. It was forty-two degrees outside.

You stumbled in your morning walk dance to the bathroom and freshened up for the day using water flowing from a faucet.

You slipped into your work clothes, even mom's and stay at home workers have work clothes, made from the plants and animals inhabiting our earth.

You enjoyed your breakfast, even if it was only a cup of coffee, thanking God for His gift of food/drink.

By this time the sun rose in the sky, lighting your home, radiating colors far better than interior lighting.

Everything God does is designed to have a thorough, complete, and perfect outcome. His desires are for our good. 

I feel rested, satisfied after my sleep last night.

My hair and skin are clean, fresh for a new day.

My stomach is appeased with the breakfast.

The sun sparks happiness in my heart, a special warmth that isn't physical (it is still cold in my house).

God has sparked a plan in my mind for today. One that feeds off the ACFW conference I just attended. If I follow through, even address unexpected issues, I will rest tonight, knowing God is thorough, complete, and perfect. The provider, giver, sustainer.

Blessings on your day.

Friend, will you share a blessing for God in the comment section?

You always put things in their proper perspective, Mary! It really is the most simple & basic things in which we are blessed, isn't it? We need to, continually, be aware of this, & thank God for his faithfulness to us!

Hope the ACFW conference was fruitful for you, & gave you MUCH inspiration & blessing! I have read, (heard, & seen, via live cast video & audio), nothing but wonderful things about it!
That's right. I haven't shared this yet.

Four agents requested materials from me. On requested my full manuscript plus my proposal!

I am so blessed!

Mary, at my age every day is a true blessing. And, for the blessings he has bestowed upon doctors to learn the thing they can do with HIS guidance . Have a little great-grandson who is such a blessing given us by GOD. He had so many things needing surgery when he was born, yet has been very active kittle boy. Even missing a ventricle on his heart, he thrived busily while waiting 10 mo. for surgery because has some plans in life for him, I truly believe,. He had to have a colostomy bag put on as soon as he was born. No rectum. As a 2 yr. old GOD let the doctors fix that where it is normal now. What a miracle to me. This was besides surgeries on things inside. He has made many trips to the hospital, but through it all he has been as active as others his age. This could happen only because of GOD's blessings to us. Two Clef Palets and lips fixed now with GOD's power given them. Thank you GOD! Maxie mac262(at)me(dot)com

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.

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
