I'm a Canadian writer whose passion is fiction (Christian women's suspense). My unpublished novel, Praying for the Enemy, was short-listed for the Best New Canadian Christian Author Award in 2008. All six finalists were declared publishable, but alas for five of us, only one could be chosen. So here I am, back in the hunt for a publisher. It's been a long road.
My published work includes over 80 articles, reviews and stories printed. I'm a member of The Word Guild, InScribe Christian Writers' Fellowship, and American Christian Fiction Writers, as well as Acquisitions Editor for InScribe's FellowScript newsletter. And I try to keep my bookshelf updated at Shelfari.
I'm also a wife, mom, daughter, friend, neighbour -- a Christian growing in faith, trying to balance relationships and responsibilities. Can you relate?

Hi there my precious friend. How are you today? Hope your life is being transformed into the beautiful creation God intends you to be each day. May the coming week be filled with new adventures into the depth His love.
THE KEY TO THE FATHERS HEART IS LOVE COMMUNICATED TO HIM BY OBEDIENCE AND PRAYER. AND PUT INTO ACTION BY FAITH
The key and secret to enjoying the life that we have in Christ is faith. Jesus is always saying to us be not afraid only BELIEVE. To believe is the key that opens the door to a rich and rewarding prayer life. And our pray life, our communication with our Father, is the only mean by which we bring the resource and power of heaven into this earth realm. Into our lives. Faith unlocks our understanding of Scripture. Prayers offered in faith releases the Great Heavenly Dove's ( the Holy Spirit's) activity in our life and world. Faith is quite like love. It evidences itself in obedience to the one who Himself is Love.. Faith speaks. It boldly enters into the presence of the Father, not to simply ask, but to receive the things that it needs in order to be like Jesus. We Can, and are commanded to do so, with confidence know that it is the Father's good pleasure to grant to us any and all things that will allow us to become like Christ. This is His will for our lives. His very best. It is He who desires it most. Believe in the miracles of Jesus. Believe that He desires to work these miracles in and through your life. Our Father wants us to understand that His glory is revealed in the lives of those who believe and receive. We are God's evidence to the world that Jesus it Lord, and that we are empower by Him to be like Jesus. This is the truth of His word. And it is what we practice of His word that brings blessings to us and others. This is the way of the Most High God. This is His plan. To know Jesus is to know God. Jesus spend His life acting and speaking just like the Father that we might know God sent Him to us. The only way the world can know that we know Jesus and that He has sent us into the world to glorify Him, is in our acting and speaking just like Him. As He did the works of the Father, we are to do all the works of the Son. Or else who will believe us? Our likeness to Him is the proof that we are in Him and He in us for all the world to see. The greater works ministry is what Jesus says we will do. Therefore we must pray and expect the greater things that enable us to minister like Jesus. Let us boldly ask and receive the things we need to live, love and do His work. And don't forget to talk like Jesus. This is very important. What we say reveals what is in our heart and what we believe in our heart is what we get.
Mark 5:36; Luke 8:50; JOHN 16:23-24, 10:37-38, 11:40,13:17,14:12-14,16:24; Hebrews 10:35; Matt 18-20; Mark 16:17-20; Mark 11:23-24; John 5:20, 14:12; Matthew;12:3, Luke 6:45.
May you have a beautiful day. May God's presence be to you like a warm coat on a cold winter day. May His joy and love fill your heart and His provisions fill your life each day. ( God gave me this a week or so ago and I love it. It is His desire for all of us.)
SENDING LOVE TO YOU BY THE POWER OF THE ONE WHO IS ALL POWERFUL

Greetings in the name of the Lord. Thanks for stopping by and blessing me with your kind words. I treaure your friendship. May your days be filled with the ravishing delights of God's grace. And may his love explode within you, overflow and spill out into the lives of all those upon whom even your shadow falls.
Faith focuses on God and His word and looks forward to a future filled with His abundance. Faith also looks back at the blessings of yesterday. It explores the life of the early Church, the lives of great saints of the past. And it remembers the blessings wrought by the holy hand of God. Faith remembers that God is not a respecter of persons and knows that what He has done for others He will do for you. Faith allows us to resist and flee the troubles that pursue us and abide in Him for protection. It is good to make a practice of recalling God's blessings often as a source of encouragement and faith. Abide in Him be anxious about nothing. Set your affection on Him, acknowledge Him in all that you do. Rest in the protection of His salvation!
Praise and bless His name. And never forget all His benefits. For it is He who forgives ALL your sin, heals ALL your diseases, redeems you life from destruction, crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, satisfies your mouth with good things, so that even your youth is renewed like the eagles. Surely what He has promised, He will do in your life. Trust Him. Believe and receive. Or doubt and lose out on the bounty of life that is yours in Christ. It can be found no other place. It is He who furnishes us with a free flowing stream of life and the provisions to live in this world as overcomers and victors in Christ. Set your mind upon Him. Swing wide the door of your heart and welcome God to fill your life with His abundance each day.
Acts 5:15; Psalm 34:9-10, 103: 1-5; Act 10:34; James 4:7; 1 John 2:27-28; 1 John 3:17; 1 John 4;13; Proverbs 3:6 Philippians 4:6; Romans 4:21.

Hi my beautiful friend. All is well here! How are things in your life and world? Hope your day is wonderful and that the coming week may be filled with adventure, new and exciting discoveries, and more of the fullness of the Lord active in you then you have ever experienced before. Don't forget to laugh a lot. It is health to your bones. Not to mention the spring it puts in your step, the sparkle it puts in your eye, the song it puts in your heart, and the glow that erupts from your face that leads others to pursue the secret of your contentment and joy.
The Lord earnestly waits for you my beloved one. With an expectant heart, He is looking and longing to be gracious to you. God watched as His beloved Son suffered and died for you, then He justified you by His grace. He is waiting for you to come to Him with all that is in your heart. To come and lay your burdens at His feet. He longs to be gracious to you. It is in His doing in us and through us what He did in and through Jesus that He is exalted. And His kingdom advanced. He waits for you and bids you come. He is a God of justice! And to you who have been justified in Christ, He is waiting, looking and longing to show you His loving kindness and tender mercy. And all who wait on Him, expecting, looking and longing for Him to work in you willing and doing His good pleasure, are Blessed. Happy, fortunate, to be envied are you who wait on Him expecting His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship to be ever present in your life. ! The sole purpose for His blessing you with salvation is that you may live in Him and enjoy Him forever and ever. So release your burdens and heartaches into His Hands. So that He may release the fullness of Christ victory into yours.
Isaiah 30:18; John 14:3,27:11; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Hebrews 12:2; 1 John 3:16; 1 Peter 5:7; Revelation 3:5. (Verses take from New King James Version and Amplified Bible.)
