I Have Had A Dream: Time to Step Out Of The Winepress
By Wendy Parker It’s no good pretending. I see you. Yes you, acting like you don’t know what I’m talking about because you have stuffed that dream of yours so far down your to-do list you’ve forgotten what it looks like. You believe you’ve screwed up way too many times in the past to ever …

In May 2019 a friend invited me on an all-expenses paid Par Avion day out. After I read her message I thanked her and then researched the day trip to Melaleuca, as I did I got excited and cried happy tears. Leading up to the day my excitement grew and grew. Then the day before …

DEVOTIONAL: Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

DEVOTIONAL – Where does my help come from?
It appears to be a given that every writer wrestles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and a sense of inadequacy. The blank screen dares us to be outstanding, while our half-formed notions mill about chaotically to the point where even housework looks like an inviting alternative. Been there? You’re not alone. Not even this minute. 2 …

Devotion: This Designer Doesn’t Offer Discounts
For you were bought at a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:20 NKJV Shopping in a luxury boutique intimidated me, especially on my budget.

Devotion: Where Did The Stars Go?
Devotional by Karen Rees “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Heb. 1:1 I love gazing at the stars, seeing a myriad of tiny lights spangling the black velvet sky. Having grown up on a farm, at night I would see more than I …
