Need A Relationship Pick-Me-Up?

Hello friends ~

I've just returned from a whirlwind trip to Nashville, Tennessee where, through the generosity and love of a treasured friend, I was given the opportunity to meet one of my all-time favorite writing heroes: Karen Kingsbury. More importantly, the trip enabled me to connect with a number of reader friends whom I treasure - what a blessing and a joy!

Me, with Karen Kingsbury - an author I consider to be the hallmark of Christian Fiction. Love her! She is sweet and charming, and she abounds in Godly grace and attitude.

I am abundantly blessed by reader friends who share my passion for exceptional Christian fiction and romance. Pictured here, L to R - Donna Keene, Karen Kingsbury, Marianne, Hope Painter and Lisa Cromwell. Love them--each and every one!

When I write my stories, I search for inspiration that leads me to God's truth when it comes to relationships and marriage. In my quest, look what I found! What do you think? Which one is your favorite?

 

Makes me think of the message of Devotion!

WOW. In long-term commitment, what statement could resound with as much power?? This is fundamental truth and God's wisdom. This statement holds true not just for a wedding day, but for the long-haul, when life, with all its messiness, steps in and tries to detract from LOVE.

 

 



 

I freely admit - I chose this picture and quote based solely on the loving and romantic message it delivers.  :-)

 

 

Presently, I'm authoring a pair of books based on the idea of physical purity (and in the process, I've discovered physical purity stems from a Godly, emotional purity). In this day and age, is the concept of virginity, and 'waiting' antiquated and out of step? I don't think so. I refuse to give up on the truth of God's message. When we follow His lead, passion, attraction, love and 'tummy tingles' will pave the way to a relationship based on mutual respect, love and passion. Trust His message.

 

Have you had a chance to read the book Devotion yet? If not, then join the mission! Jump to Pelican Book Group or Amazon. Once you do, I believe this quote will hit your heart like a lightning strike!

 

Let me know you just purchased the book and I'll send you a couple of goodies via the US Mail.

 

 

The Song of Solomon. The Book of Ruth. If you need marital/relational reinforcement, if you crave an influx of romance and joy-filled love, please check out these two books of Sacred Scripture. You'll be blessed and affirmed, I promise!

Thanks for stopping by the blog, friends! God bless you and keep you, until next time!
