Thankful For Small Things.

James 1:17 KJV "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

The amount of money I have made on books in the last year is very insignificant, but every time my dollar amount on Smashwords goes up even a few cents or I sell one book, I am so thankful to God. These little successes would be impossible without God. It's not about the money anyway, it's all about Him and getting our message out there to others. I saw on BN that God's Glorious Symphony received a 5 star rating. I am so excited about that. That is definitely appreciated and makes me happy that others also see God in nature just like the Bible says we will in Romans. He created all of it. There's no way around that. It's just true.

Sooo, here's the deal....be happy about small things. Don't be discouraged if you're not a best seller yet. We all love our own writing, but does God? Do others see Him when they read what we write? That is our goal. Give it time and enjoy each little miracle in your 'author life'. I do now. At first, I was discouraged because I didn't have instant success, but everything happens in God's timing. Rejoice and let it happen!

FAMILY

"For I have chosen him [Abraham], so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him."—Genesis 18:19

I am currently in OH spending time with family. I have the most awesome kids and grandkids anywhere. I love them and appreciate them more than ever. We have so much fun together. We spend a vast amount of time laughing and enjoying each other. With the wide array of personality traits in this family, we are never bored with each other. Please take time to enjoy and appreciate your loved ones. You'll discover things about each other every time you are together that you may not have known the last time you saw them, even if was yesterday. And above all, observe the verse above. Teach each other about God and what He has done for you. God is good! Yes, all the time.

Excerpt from The Light in the Valley by Patricia Norman Rachal

The Light in the Valley 

Do you ever feel utterly insignificant, like your life is going nowhere? If you’ve been there you can identify with how I was feeling early autumn of 1990. But my life was about to change forever when I went to a wonderful place called the Shepherd’s Pasture in Jefferson, Texas. What a magnificent, peaceful place to pray! I could focus entirely on God and find out just what my life, according to Him, was all about.

$6.99

After six days and in prayer every single morning I was beginning to feel a bit discouraged. I had not heard one thing from God. On Friday morning at 6:30 I simply asked Him, “God, are you there?” God was there and I soon knew it without a doubt. Much to my amazement my room began to fill with what I can only describe as a white cloud. For two solid hours I was simply glued to my chair. I had a life-changing experience with my Father God. The first part of that morning with Him I cried a river of tears. Then my spirit was filled with joy and laughter. Both laughter and tears are associated with healing in God’s Word, so I obviously needed some healing. He alone knows the deepest recesses of my soul, the darkest parts of my heart even better than I know myself. As only He could do with His infinite mercy and wisdom, healing flowed through my inner being with love, comfort and much needed change resulting in sheer joy.

When I finally left the room three hours later with His earmark of dramatic changes within, my friends said I had a glow on my face and “Mary has been with God.” How right they were. I had no doubt been with Him. His silhouette would forever be seen in my now (I knew) significant life. Soon after that experience, perhaps I was just stepping onto the threshold of the hard valley God had warned me about back in 1987.

Read about the events that led up to this point in Miss Mary's life and all the dramatic things that followed. A true story that will heighten your faith, make you cry and make you laugh. You will love her warmth and positive attitude.
