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?

Sneak Peek!

I am so excited to show you all a sneak peek of my new book coming soon. It is a short devotional for Christian wives called "The Power of the Christian Wife". It is adapted from a brief article I had written in 2010. I am still in the revision stage but was so excited when I got this cover done today. Stay tuned! Blessings to you all!

The Protection of God

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 ...

First day of Fall!

Summer has gone and Fall is here.. Though soon the leaves are going to start falling, we still see the beauty and magnificence of our Lord! I cannot seem to get enough of the beauty around us. Each little creature that flutters by or each color that pops up, I am reminded of His power, His love-our wonderful Creator. Have a blessed first day of Fall!

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 :) !

I need Spring!!!

Today, the kids had to leave school early due to sleet and possible icy roads. It is going to get cold tonight- again! I am so ready for Spring and getting back to my exercise at the park. What about you? I hope that you are all staying safe and warm. Have a blessed day!!
