Thankful for all my followers

Image
It's been over three years since I have officially become a self-published author. It's been quite a journey. I have gained (and lost) some followers but there are those who have stood with me since the beginning. I am so glad for each and everyone. I know that I haven't posted much lately but I have been dealing with some health issues. It seems as if there is always something coming up. Sometimes, it is very hard to stay long at the computer without feeling some pain. Though that may be so, I really do enjoy being here. I am very thankful to God for His unending grace and mercy. I am blessed. I like to say that God is good- always. There are many blessings in every day and I try my best to remember them and thank Him for it. One of those blessings is you- my followers. You are what helps me to keep writing. You are what I see when I go to my page. Each and every one of you is important. You do make the difference in someone's life. I pray that the Good Lord continues ...

Thank you for loving me

Isn't it amazing that we know things but we just don't realize how powerful it is? I know God loved me enough to send His only Begotten Son, Jesus to die for me and provide the only way to Heaven by trusting in Him. I am so thankful for everything He has done for me in my life and for the future blessings I am going to receive. I thank Him every day. I trust Him in the good times and the bad times. I know He has blessed me even when I mess up in life. He has shown me His Grace and Mercy numerous times.  I trust in Him to take care of me. I am proud to be a Christian. I have faults and make a mess daily. Each day is a new struggle, a new obstacle to overcome. I need God in my life- all the time. I am lost without Him. Yesterday I was looking at Joyce Meyer on tv and enjoying her show when she made mention of a particular phrase that triggered off an epiphany. Yes, I know those words. I have said it before. I have thought it too but never really connected to myself. I have exp...

Be strong no matter what your circumstances

Image
Almost two weeks have passed in this new year. With it, I have noticed that the challenges for me have already started. Isn't it amazing how the cares of this world can get to us? If you go on the internet or put on the television or listen to the radio, there is always something happening that stuns us, aggravates us, grieves us, disgusts us and so on. Nearly all the news you hear is bad news. It can wear you down whether you notice it or not. The good news is that no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in, we have someone to depend on (that is if you are one who trust in God or even believe in God). We have someone who loves us despite who we are or what we've done.   I had a couple of giveaways last month and a couple new members who joined my Facebook page have had recent losses of loved ones. Grief is never easy. I pray for them and others who are going through similar circumstances. If you are reading this and have experienced a loss, please remember this quote b...

Better late than never giveaway!

I know that I had promised my fans a giveaway for Black Friday, but I had been dealing with a lot of pains and was unable to do much online work. Even the editing on my new book was delayed but God is good and I know that things happen for a reason.  So I decided to just go ahead and do a better late than never giveaway. Visit my Facebook page to enter! www.facebook.com/AuthorAMGlover . Don't forget to like and share with your friends :). Good luck and God bless!

Being thankful always

Image
I am always reminded of God's kindness- every day. Yesterday, my little one had to play with the GSU band during half time for the game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, along with a few other middle and high school bands. We'd been having a lot of rain and yesterday there was supposed to be even more. We did have just a little but nothing much to bother us. God is so good. We were able to get to Atlanta without too much traffic (yay!) and enjoy ourselves. We returned home safely and in very little rain. I am forever thankful for the little things we are blessed with each day. What about you?

The Protection of God

Image
Good morning! It's another rainy day today. The trees are already starting to shed their leaves. I love looking at the wonderful colors Fall brings. Down here at the south, we hardly get severe cold weather and when we do, it is hard for us unlike those who live up north. I love the Fall.  I believe that God looks out for us all the time even though we may not realize it. The night before last we had some steady rain with the winds whipping all throughout the night. By the time it was morning, the road where we live was a sea of leaves. After waking up my daughter to get ready for school, the time did not go the way it usually does. Somehow or the other, we were fifteen minutes behind the usual. I was a bit perplexed because it seemed as we lost some time. Did I get up from bed later or idled away the time? No. We had to rush a bit for her to finish getting ready. I brushed aside the lapse in time, thinking maybe somehow we were not paying too much attention. When we got to ...

God's promises are new every morning

For the past few weeks, I have been dealing with some painful physical problems. I've felt overwhelmed and frustrated at times because I was being limited more and more by what I couldn't do. The list of housework, errands, keeping up with getting bills paid on time, getting my daughter's birthday party planned and not being able to write were all getting to me.  There were times when I just had to stay in bed a lot due to being in pain but the Lord gave me the strength that I need. I know that He is always there for me. I have to keep reminding myself to give my burdens to Him and not try to bear it all alone. He has never failed me. I am so thankful that I have a Savior who can lift me when my spirit feels broken.  As I was returning home from dropping my daughter off to school yesterday morning, I saw this beautiful sunrise and I just had to say "Wow!" I've seen sunrises before but somehow or the other, this one was just amazing! There was this pink glow...

Taking a break

After the intense editing and formatting my Kindle versions of the individual books in The Sunny Brook Trilogy, I am finally finished with the updates. Yay!!! It's been pretty grueling because formatting for Kindle and for print are very different. But God is good (if you know me- that's what I say a lot). So, to give myself a mental boost, I took my beloved camera and walked to the front yard. I love shooting anything- from the flowers to the birds and yes, even the weeds!! Here are just a few of the pics. I love Spring!!! I wish I had time to edit the rest but due to time constraints, I can't. Enjoy :) !

God takes care of His own

Today, as I was going out to the porch, I caught a glimpse of this lovely house wren walking across the platform and I ran inside to get my camera. By the time I got back, I didn't see it immediately but soon saw it fluttering amongst the dogwood branches. In no time, it went to the pile of firewood and I was finally able to get some shots. I stood there for a long while admiring it. As I loaded the photos in my computer and saw the bird, I was reminded of Matthew 6:26. "Matthew 6:26 - Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" God takes care of the birds. They are important to Him. He also takes care of those who belong to Him.The past few months had been a bit hard financially and health-wise but throughout the hard times, my hubby and I were able to see the amazing Love and Grace that our Lord bestows. He sustained us all throughout and we ...

Welcome my dear friends!

Welcome my dear friends to my new blog! I really do appreciate you stopping by! Today has been a day of relaxation after a chaotic few weeks of hassles. The Good Lord is always ready to give us sustenance when we deeply need it. For the past couple days, I felt as if I could not move again and have been plodding along trying to push through the mire of weariness. This morning, I woke up refreshed! Thankful that I have Someone who is there to always provide for me. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
