  • Consider It All Joy…

    Dear Friend, Trials do not feel good. No one wakes up and says, “I know what I want to do for fun today: Walk through a trial, complete with a cherry on top!” But there IS a cherry on top (as cliché as this phrase is, I’m using it anyway!) Trials that test our faith…

  • What Did I Expect?

    I expected my first day of kindergarten to be the best day ever. Rather than clinging to my parents’ legs, I ran into the classroom and waved goodbye, not even looking behind me as they left. My first day of kindergarten, I was sent home with a frowny face because I wouldn’t join the line-up…

  • Battling Heavy Emotions as a Christian Author

    It is often said that writers have tortured souls. I believe this is somewhat true. Here are two reasons why: As both a writer and an actress, it is my job to not only try to understand people but to experience the pleasures and the pains that they have experienced. What do I mean by…

  • Writers Relate Post #4

    Finding Inspiration from God’s Grand Creation: Cave Exploring, Aquarium Adventuring, Theatre Immersing, and Zipline Soaring! The sun was finally shining, its rays extending warm greetings after two weeks of rain. I packed my small suitcase, each breath drawing me closer to the excitement and relief of escape from the mundane. Like Belle in Beauty and…

  • Writers Relate Post # 3

    Reading as Readers, Not as Writers A few weeks ago, I realized something about myself. Ever since I started writing and editing my novel and also joined two different critique groups, my reading has been stifled. Why? Because I never allow myself to read as a reader. Every time I pick up a book, I…

  • I Am Not Enough, But God…

    I am not enough. That’s not a feel-good truth, But it’s Truth nonetheless. Truth I need to hear. Truth I must acknowledge. Truth I have experienced. I am not enough. The world tries to tell me I am. It tells me I’m beautifully imperfect, But I know all too well… There’s nothing beautiful about the…

  • Writers Relate Post # 2

    Story Ideas I’d really like to know… If you’re a writer, how do story ideas come to you? Is it logical? Do you sit there and think, “Okay, I want this story to be about a boy named Peter who never grows up because he lives in a realm called Neverland with fairies and pirates…

  • Writers Relate Post #1

    The Creative Writer Versus…Dun, dun, DUN! …the Editor I think every writer, published or unpublished, can relate to the battle of the creator inside versus the editor inside. Am I right? When I first started writing my first novel, Evergreen and the Silver Tree, I have to be honest, the monster that is The Editor…

  • Disney World 2021

    I’m still smiling over Spring Break 2021! Last spring break (of the year that shall not be named), I was two days away from packing my bags and heading to Disney World with these dear friends. Of course, that didn’t happen. It took over a year and half of planning and waiting, but we finally…
