Encouraging Fiction

The reading binge continues…I have an insatiable appetite right now for encouraging fiction, and Karen Kingsbury is meeting that need.

I completed the series, with the first, Angels Walking- A Novel . A beautiful novel with Tyler, a baseball player, Sami, a one time girlfriend and Virginia, a precious resident at an assisted living facility.

Karen weaves the story of love, redemption, grace and forgiveness in such an beautiful way. We are always entertaining “angels unaware”, and this author gives us a glimpse of what that looks like.

The second book of the trilogy, Chasing Sunsets, Karen Kingsbury continues with the expansion of the story of Marcus and Mary Catherine. Both of these characters are friends of Tyler and Sami. The angels are always on mission, and this book continues to show us the lives that the angels are needing to protect.

The third and final book, Brush of Wings, Karen continues to share the stories of each of the couples. We also meet a young woman, Lexy, who is involved in a gang lifestyle that threatens her life, and the future that the Father has the angels protecting.

I love the way Karen allows us to peek behind the curtain at the angels. Ember, Beck, Jag and Aspyn, the angels throughout the series and in this third book,

work together on this very important mission.

Karen always makes books easy to read and hard to put down. These three were no exceptions.

I just finished Oceans Apart…paperback or Oceans Apart- Kindle so I will talk about it next time.

Until then, pardon me while I start another KK book!

He is in the Waiting

I woke up at 3am and heard this song by Bethel Music……Take Courage

Are you waiting?

You might be….job interview, doctor’s appointment, lab results, meeting…

Fear of the unknown can creep in and rob us of our courage, our joy, our faith in the Father.

The Waiting can be more painful than the results.

But our GOD is there

and not just in the results

but….in the WAITING.

Stop the Madness and Pass the Green Beans!

Stop the madness!

Do you ever feel like you want to shout this from every street corner or closest mountaintop?

I have felt this way. In fact, I still feel this way.

I know…all will be well. God is good. All the time. And I truly believe that. Even in the midst of all the craziness called life.

But sometimes I just want to scream.

I am a crazy woman, as this picture would indicate. I played “farm girl” yesterday at my Uncle’s house and picked some produce from his gardens. The green beans are still cooking in the crock pot.

Life is not perfect. I have circumstances to deal with like everyone else. Someone actually indicated to me the other day that my life was perfect and I had it “altogether.”

Untrue.

I don’t have it altogether. I worry. I cry. I yell. I sometimes say inappropriate things.

Then when I am picking green beans off the vine the Father reminds me that He is the vine, and I am the branch. And that I am in Him and He is in me.

And that I don’t have to have it altogether because He already does.

And that I cannot do this alone, on my own. Jesus Christ is the only thing I can ever depend on. Alcohol, drugs, friendships, jobs, money, roles, careers…none of these things will hold me up.

I will only get through life with my Jesus. He is my vine. And I don’t do this alone.

How about you?
