On The Other Side of Trying Hard: Let’s Get Started
Blogging my manuscript seemed the only way I’d finally edit it and turn it into a publishable piece of writing. So far, it’s in pieces parts, some complete, some barely begun. I have hundreds of pieces of paper with notes on them, ten or more full notebooks, dozens of half-written stories, and three completed chapters that I’m glad I never...

My 100-Day Plan, Day 99: Juggling the Struggle
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10 ESV It never crossed my mind that God keeps us in our struggles until He wants us out of them, but there it is in scripture saying that’s exactly what He...

My 100-Day Plan, Day 95: What’s Better Than Being Good?
“Jesus did not come to make bad people good, but to bring dead people alive.” Pastor J.P. Miller, Solid Rock at Market Common Being a good girl for decades deadened my soul.
