A summer love.

Everything we could dream. 







Is it so much to ask for: (you gents may have to modify the list a bit)

 Companion. 
Faithful. 
Listener
Kind
Ever present/available
Understands
Strong
Willing to Fight
Defender/Protector
Provider
 ....and yes...much more!

 Recently I read this great dialogue:

"And you knew it was love? How?"
"Because when I wasn't with him I could only think of him. Because when I wasn't with him I was simply waiting until I was. And when I was with him, I didn't want to be anywhere else." Faye Bird

 The second person's answer struck me. This should not only be my relationship with people I love..this should be my relationship with God.

 Ooo, that cut to the heart.

 I rethought my day and wondered, did I only think of the One who has not only given me everything and taken care of me, but also provided the way of salvation for me? When I wasn't near God, usually my own doing (neglect, sin, etc) was I willing to turn back to Him and ask HIs forgiveness?  And when I am with Him, do I truly not want to be anywhere else?

 Wow. 

 These are powerful thoughts. 

 Emotions and intellect, heart and soul all mixed together.

 Well, friend...how do you know you love God? Or are in sync totally...hopelessly devoted..for me to live is Christ...in love with God?

 Let's talk. Share with us.

When I start my day with God, I feel a peace that feels like no nothing I have ever felt. I believe this is love for God and love from God.

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

By
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...

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...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Julie Lessman

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...
