Esther 2:5-7
Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

Magnolia Storms (Coastal Hearts series book 1) by Janet W. Ferguson contemporary Christian romance. Maggie struggles with fear, in many of the same ways as me. A verse from Job was the central theme: "Though He slay me, still I will trust in Him." I needed the reminder. Josh and his son J.D. are adorable. Janet is another good storyteller.
Falling for Grace (Coastal Hearts series novella) by Janet
W. Ferguson contemporary Christian romance. "My joy is in the Lord."
Grace and Seth are broken. Janet tackles some tough subjects. I enjoy a
good story that has me searching my heart, reflecting on my
relationship with God.
I read this series out of order, reading the fourth book, then the third, and finally the first and the novella. The novella takes place on the coast but not the same state or characters.
Still seven chapters to edit. This chapter has been a struggle, cutting repetitious material, tightening sentences, rearranging lines and paragraphs for smoother reading. Never give up. Never give in.
“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”

Esther 2:1-4
After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them: And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
