MISSION: THAILAND SLIDESHOW

ABOUT ME:
I'm a lifelong avid reader who wasn't content to stop there. I had to scratch out some of those stories buzzing around my brain. And by God's grace, someone saw fit to publish them!

My first and only marriage is still going strong after twenty-seven years. We have four kids who've pretty much flown the coop, though they do flutter home to roost pretty often. Our first grandchild is due any day. When she's born, I'll post pictures. We enjoy the slower pace of life in rural Minnesota--no lines at the post office and no traffic jams!

I like to give stuff away, so if you hop on over to my web site's Stealth and Wealth page, you can play a fun little art matching game for a chance to win a signed copy of my latest release. http://www.jillelizabethnelson.com/stealthwealth.shtml

Below is a video trailer for the second book in my To Catch a Thief series.

Abundant Blessings,

Jill

"TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT"


Have you ever, felt sad about something you couldn't control?
Emotions which lead to confusion of how those feelings came about?
If so, I understand. . . .
The truth is written, so we may understand our expectations fulfilling its purpose here on earth. . .
It is also written "God" created the world in favor of humanity to serve Christ
Planet earth was designed for living organisms to reproduce offspring accordingly
Plants, animals and other environmental organisms all use the outdoors for survival. .
Understanding the purpose of your destiny requires extraordinary critical thinking and beyond!
Naturally, we all inquire leadership hidden in the inner-most recess of our hearts pondering where it's needed most
The blood of Jesus is so powerful words cannot express the future of "Gods" return yet to come. . .
With all of this in mind, that vision you had before God answered your prayer
Is a special tool, only you can use invested from God himself. . .
Studies indicate, the average person encounters 28,000 thoughts per day-
Just think? God can reappear in the blink of an eye; the second one can snap their fingers
As often as we blink and think; how many thoughts are purposely on serving him?
We strive to become Jesus-like conveying a solid message to the audience offering faith, hope and charity
Dreams are in figments of our brain that indicate possible events that may or may not occur
Having the desire to love someone personifies the essence of truth in Jesus Christ
Many may side with love in first sight being a argument of lust and incriminating thoughts-
Usually, the first thing you notice about an individual is their eyes
The opening to the body, which it uses this source to see where he or she is going
Symbolically this feature is created in valuable sources that require reproduction
Propelling a future for the children of this generation needs to begin now. .
Musical-intelligence, signifies the ability to perform at a higher level than most
Inheriting a trait such as this one; enhances, ones visual to think more effectively
In conclusion, poetry is written in the B.I.B.L.E fluently
Gaining the proper knowledge and understanding shall help encourage the heart
Decisions are made on a daily basis- however, the ultimate factor remains:
In addition, to you making your decision understand the consequences of your actions
Support your answer(s), be truthful and acknowledge where your heart is!
And God will restore your faith and continue to use you to become a success story to others. . .
