 Sometime Life doesn't go the way we want. 

 Little pebbles tumble in the way and create road blocks. 

 Tires go flat, accidents happen, sickness strikes.

 Still at these moments, God shows His lovingkindness by letting the sun rise, freshening the air, and letting the water flow.

 We all know someone who has had something fall into their path. I think of a little girl at my church who was recovering from leukemia, but recently had a relapse. Our church family is very concerned about her.

 I think of the people in the Philippines for their lose of life and damage from the typhoon.

 You may know someone who can't find their smile at work today.

 Let's reach out and bless those whose are working through issues.

 Share a blessing with those in your community.

 And praise God for His presence.

 Please share a comfort verse in the comment section.

 I will have a book give away this weekend, choosing from recent author books to give to one commenter. You may enter as often as you like on this post. We love seeing the Bible verses.

PLEASE REMEMBER you must be a follower of this website and U.S. only to enter (sorry-postage is too high otherwise)
I will give the winner a choice of five books to choose one from.

 Blessings on all of you. And should you be experiencing a time of trial:

 May the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord lift His face to shine upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-25

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, with prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

My life verse. Thanks, Mary!

This is the first comfort verse I had and it's been my favorite. It's stuck with me through thick or thin and still sticking today. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10. He loved us, you and me, Mary, knowing our hearts and thoughts, and sent His Son to pay for our wrongs. Jesus showed us we are worth dying for! That blows me away when I think on it. The ups and downs of life, the wonders and doubt's and insecurities we have...this verse changes everything

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

Today we welcome author:  Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post  to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative.     I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share  how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

One many of us can relate to. Her post below shows her strength and positive spirit. I'm so happy Andrea is visiting with us today. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and come chat with Andrea. I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods .  When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Today I welcome a well-known authoress, one with a bubbly, energetic personality  and has become a sweet friend:  Julie Lessman .   Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. 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. ent...
