Prayer in the storm

My prayers, mind, and heart are with the victims of the storm system of 300 miles of destruction in which over 130 tornadoes took lives, homes, businesses, and entire towns. This is one of the worst storm systems in the history of the United States of America.

 

Lord, be the refuge and strength for all the people involved.

 

My prayers are with a special person I know who reads this blog. Their family was involved in these storms. (I’m not putting names in an effort to uphold confidentiality for them and their family.)

 

Lord, comfort everyone involved. Wrap them in Your wings, place them in the cleft of the mountain and in a safe place. Hold them near. Guide them as they have to make decisions and be their way.

 

God bless everyone involved in these storms.

Easter

Have a very happy and blessed Easter, everyone!

 

He is RISEN!

Vacation

By the way, over the next few months, I will have moments when you might think I fall off the planet. But, do not fret. I have vacation and moving/vacation coming up in my life.

 

My first period where I will be gone is from 06 May to 24 May. That’s vacation and a writer’s conference (CCWC/Colorado Christian Writer’s Conference in Estes Park, Colorado. My home, by the way, is Colorado. Check out: http://www.writehisanswer.com ).

 

Then, I will be gone 17 June to 22 August(ish) for Moving and Vacation. That’s when we move from Nebraska to Virginia—and vacation for a bit in Colorado.

 

I will still do blog posts from time to time, but it won’t be like what I have done lately. By the way, check out the Prayer Guard USA blog. That’s my most active blog at the moment and is where I am writing a Blog Book.

CCWC

By the way, I am preparing to go to a writing conference back in my home state of Colorado. It’s the CCWC (Colorado Christian Writing Conference) and is put on by: http://www.writehisanswer.com/

Therefore, I will be gone the second and third weeks in May as I go to the conference and as I go home for a few days. I will be a little quiet during that time.

As I prepare for the writing conference, I am trying to prepare advertising material, am refining my writing vision, and am trying to get 33,000 words written on a novel I started earlier this week. It’s of the A Life of Seasons Series and is called, “Summer, Faith, Journaling, and Madison.”

I will write more information about the CCWC in the days to come. Check out the Fiction and Faith Café blog listed below for more information.

Author and series most like my upcoming books

There is an author, Melody Carlson, and her series of books called, “Diary of a Teenage Girl” which I love. They are Biblical Fiction as well and are fantastic.

Check these out at: http://melodycarlson.com/diary.shtml

I would buy all of them if I were you. They are the books you can read over and over—and it doesn’t matter your age.

Her books are quite similar to what I am going to be writing, but my series will vary from hers in that my series will be of all ages of gals and will be about the military life.

What can you expect from this series?

A confession: I just started writing this series this week. Therefore, a great deal of this series is in the planning stage. This blog and series are all brand new. Please bear with me while I write the first book and plan the rest.

Book 1’s temporary title is:

“Summer, Faith, Journaling, and the Life of Madison MacGregor”

The series title is: A Life of Seasons

Book 1 is about a 15-year old girl, Madison MacGregor, who moves from one military installation to another and her life of seasons. She struggles with leaving her friends, making new friends, moving her life across the country, family dynamics, choices she has to make, and how she’s struggling to find God and faith through all of these seasons (challenges). Journaling is Madison’s saving grace and helps her to deal with all these things and she learns how while the military life is hard, it’s something that can also be filled with unexpected blessings.
