Avalanche Of Favor


 

            Most of you know my story.  God called me into ministry at the age of 12, and to write my first book at the age of 16.   I was a kid that no one would have expected this out of: I wasn’t the greatest writer, I always just wanted to fit in, and would have NEVER dreamed that I would be doing the things I am doing today.  I had this crazy notion that it would be an easy adventure, and that the hard part would be writing the books.  It hasn’t been the easiest journey, and honestly the easy part is writing.  The part that has felt like it was the wall of Jericho has been the publishing side. It took me a few years to really start working towards this goal, and I really started this journey in 2000. God broke through that in 2012 when Cursing the church or Helping it? was released and then earlier this year a publisher picked up Confessions of a Ninja Mom.

            Many of you know that this year, an awesome door opened for me.  An Ember In Time found its publishing home. I’m happy to announce my publisher has agreed to publish the second book in the ‘In Time’ Trilogy.  This is a super big exciting announcement because the first one isn’t even out yet.  I’m not sure yet when that release date with be, but stay tuned.  This is a super fun series of books that will take the reader on a huge adventure through Biblical history.  Please pray for this, and agree with me that God will reveal to me how to market these books.  I know God is faithful!  I know He is making a way! 

‘An Ember In Time’ is set to release April 2016

‘A Marriage In Time’ release date TBA

            I am beyond thrilled that the first book is going forward.  I’m super excited that the second book already has a home.  I kind of feel after all these years of waiting, praying and believing for a miracle I’ve stepped into this ‘Avalanche of Favor’.  I will so take it and run with it!  I have gone from having one book published, to this year getting to sign 3 different contracts.  Of course the year isn't over yet, anything is possible. . grin.  It takes a lot to write a manuscript.  I’m now working on book #24.  .

I want my story to encourage all of you today.  If it seems like those things that God has called you to do take forever, keep being diligent and trust Him.  You have to keep putting your hand to the plow of what God is calling you to, despite of what it may look like.  Circumstances can’t be louder in your life, then God’s voice.

 

James 1:2-4 “2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

            Trust God for what He has spoken over your life. It may seem as if the promises of God aren’t coming, but God is no respector of persons.  The Kingdom of God always works.  He is faithful to complete the work He has started in you, so keep plowing ahead and trusting Him!  I appreciate your prayers, and I am praying an ‘Avalanche of Favor’ in your life too!

            God has awesome plans in your life!  Get excited!

....And I broke the Pickle Jar

Image
Last week my oldest daughter came running to me for help. I had just bought a new jar of pickles and she could not open them up. Surely, Mom could do it and this was going to be an easy thing. I sometimes wonder how they get those lids so tightly on jars in the factory. I was not going to pull the wimp card but I could not get that lid off. I tried banging the bottom with the palm of my hand. I saw someone do that once. It did not work. I tried twisting it, and it would not budge. I even tried getting a butter knife and breaking the seal by trying to wedge it between the lid and the jar. Nothing was working. Dan was not home and even if he was, I really hate admitting when I cannot do something like this without his help. I was going to get that jar open! Finally I took the opposite end of a butter knife and whacked at the lid. I thought a couple smacks would make the jar open, and it did. Evidently, I do not know my own strength. With the sound of breaking glass crackin...

Don't Fall For the Fake Jakes!

I hope all of you had an awesome Resurrection Weekend! He is Risen!! Several weeks ago I had someone claiming to be T.D. Jakes begin communication with me on twitter. At first I brushed him off thinking there was no way he was the real T.D. However this individual was persistent. We began exchanging a few direct messages back and forth. He then proceeded to invite me to go with himself and several other ministers over to Japan to preach over there. That was when I told him to email me at my website email. The conversation continued. At first I didn’t believe at all this was the real T.D. Jakes. However the more we exchanged emails the more I really thought it might. His phrasing on how he worded things sounded like the real T.D. The text emails were coming from Texas, and it was obvious this man spent a long time familiarizing himself with T.D. and his website because of the way he wove legitimate things about the real T. D. into the conversations. This went back a forth for several we...

Spiritual Motion Sickness?

It is well known in my family that I have a history of issues with motion sickness. I don’t remember when we officially discovered this: Maybe it was the time that I spent the day at the pool in the sun and then was put in the back seat of my grandparents fairly new car to travel through the hills of Southern Ohio and I puked everywhere that told us this, Or maybe it was the time my uncle decided to travel through the mountains of Gatlinburg with the side door open in the van. Perhaps it was the issues I had with vertigo as a child but whatever it was it was learned early on that I would be fine as long as I got to sit in the front seat. I am better as an adult however; I still cannot read in a long car journey. Many people suffer from spiritual motion sickness. They have become nauseous spiritually and they do not understand why. Just like how one gets motion sickness in the physical it applies spiritually. James 1:6-8 (NIV) 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, b...
