Writing is Work
To create a work of art, great or small, is work, hard work, and work requires discipline and order. Walking on Water, by Madeleine L’Engle I used to think writing was fun and easy. A nice pastime or hobby. I had a romanticized view of myself sitting in a coffee shop, peacefully tapping away at a keyboard while…

Books of 2021: 9 Titles I Read & Loved
Every year, I look forward to writing this post. As much as I enjoy reading books throughout the year, writing this post is taking a walk down memory lane, reminding myself of what I read and whether/why I loved them. (It’s the book equivalent to working through the 5 questions I’m asking myself about…

Books of 2020: 12 Titles I Read & Enjoyed
Ah, reading. One of the many joys in life. Once again, I’ve compiled a list of books I read and enjoyed over the last 365 days. The word “enjoyed” is quite important, as there were some books I read and did not enjoy and other books I read and semi-enjoyed—but not enough to include them…

Come to Jesus Release Day: Who is This Book For?
Today is the launch day for Come to Jesus. That means that (as of this morning) you can hop on to Amazon and either buy a paperback copy or have an e-book immediately delivered to your e-reader. But before you do that, I want to answer this question: Who is Come to Jesus for? Is it…

Why I Didn’t Want to Write a Book (& why I wrote it anyway)
It all started about two years ago. While running in a nearby neighborhood, I began praying and thinking through goals for 2017. My thoughts meandered to the writing segment of my life. Should I continue to write? My husband has always encouraged me to keep writing, so I knew what his vote would be. But…

My 8 favorite books of 2018
I did not do a marvelous job of keeping track of the books I read in 2018. I’m guessing I read less than last year’s number of 35, considering we moved this year and I spent a good deal of time completing my book, Come to Jesus. Regardless, as I looked back through the list…

Come to Jesus Announcement
After years of praying, thinking, fearing, trusting, and writing, the time has finally arrived for me to tell you about my book! Come to Jesus was written because of a lesson God began to teach me during the weeks after my second miscarriage. The question he burned in my soul is the same one I ask…
