My Newest Book is Now Available

/0 Comments/in /by

I am so excited to share the first book in my new series with you.  I have a contract for 12 books, all part of a collection of books called “Victorious Living Collection”.  This is the first one in the series.  Each book will be a 30 day devotional on one subject.  The first subject is joy!

God’s timing in these books has been absolutely perfect as I continue to walk through the storm of my Dad’s accident.   It has truly amazed me how God has given me the words for each of these books.  The Joyful Living book was in it’s finishing touches and about to be sent to production when my dad’s accident happened.  The pictures in this book were hand drawn by my dad.  The other books will not have his artwork in them until he is able to regain his ability to draw again.  So this book is extra special because it celebrates the talent that God has given to both my dad and I.

21 I will confess, praise, and give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me; and You have become my Salvation and Deliverer.

22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

23 This is from the Lord and is His doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

Joy vs. Happiness

/1 Comment/in /by

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. (Psalm 126:3)

Live It Out 

There is a huge difference between joy and happiness. You can experience joy without feeling happy, but you can’t experience happiness without being joyful.

Happiness is a feeling that changes with the emotions we have in a day, but joy is a constant state of being that we choose.
