By God's grace, I finally worked through the troublesome chapter. One chapter to go.

Live isn't meant to be easy, it's meant to be lived. 

Sometimes happy, other times rough... 

But every up and down you learn lessons that make you strong.

Favorite Book Friday

Eternity (The Friendship Series Book 1)  by Staci Stallings Christian romance. Loved it.

The Easy Way Out (The Friendship Series Book 2)  by Staci Stallings Christian romance. Staci is one of my favorite storytellers. I only wish I could buy all her books in paperback. They're all keepers.

I've 2 chapters to go, but I'm stuck. It's the second to last chapter, and I'm struggling with why it doesn't read quite right. This is the last time it'll be published, and I want it as right as possible.

Sunday Scripture

As I ponder which word to choose for my Word of the Year, I couldn't settle on a word. A phrase kept coming to mind. I finally stopped fighting: Learn of Me. I don't know about you, but I could use some rest to my soul.

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

I can count on one hand the number of chapters left to edit. However, I'm tripping over the start of a chapter, and it's taking me longer than I'd hoped to figure out how it needs to be straightened out. I want the story to glorify God, not detract from the message.

Happy New Year!

Congratulations! You made it through 2022. I wouldn't have made it without God. I'll not wish you a safe new year; this world is many things, but safe is not one of them. We didn't come to earth to be safe; we came to be tested. It's expected we'll fail, often. God doesn't hold that against us; it is why He provided a Savior to rescue us from our own folly. 

Will you step into this new year in fear or faith? The choice is yours.

And be gentle with yourself; doubt and fear are opportunities for faith to grow.
