My life

My life has been crazy for the past few weeks.  I have health issues that no one knows what is causing them.  It has cost me my position as a nurse and I have spent the summer at home.  I know God is in control and has a plan for me.  I am going to be writing more blogs in the future.  I have now published the second book of love's not easy series and beginning on the third.  I have joined some author groups the past few days and hope to start doing interviews and sharing their books with my fans as well.  I will still offer my encouraging verse and share my books as well.  


Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Breakthrough

Here is a sample of my second book Breakthrough
Breakthrough Love's Not Easy Series Book Two is available at smashwords.com amazon.com ibook and barnes and noble.com




“Brad I use to feel like it was my mom’s past in Neahovia that was a mystery to me. This week I am finding out it is my entire family that is a mystery. I just wish I could figure out why we have so many secrets.”

 “Well, if you figured that out you are on the verge of a breakthrough, because I have felt for years that we don’t have ever piece to this huge puzzle we call our lives.”

 “I think we are missing a couple of huge pieces of that puzzle.” Aimee then explained to everyone what she had discovered in Neahovia about her mom, RGA, MAL and the entire Radical War. Mrs. Opal was in shock, Gran had never mentioned any of that to her.

 Brad made copies of Aimee’s files before leaving. Then he and Charles packed her stuff up to her room. She sat on the front porch swing with a sweet tea, her mom’s journal, and her cell. She had to call Aiden before he freaked out. He had been texting her for an hour.

 Aiden answered on the first ring. “About time I have been worried sick.”

 “I’m sorry I have been a little busy and I have a lot to tell you.” Aimee started her story with the files she found in her dad’s office and ended with what Brad had just told her about Deandre.

 “Ok first of all Aimee why are you driving that far alone.”

 “Don’t start that, it definitely wasn’t my first time making this trip alone.”

“Secondly I agree with you about missing a lot of huge pieces to this puzzle. It seems every time we turn around we discover more missing pieces.”

 “Well I think in order for us to figure any of this out. We need to start putting the pieces we do have together.”

 “How are we doing that?”

 “I am starting with the bank accounts. Tomorrow I am going to bank Gran used to see what I can find out. Brad is going to track down Gran’s Will and I need you to see if you can find out what REF is so we can figure out how I get money in my accounts from them.”

 “Wow you have really thought this out.”

 “Yes I have. I am tired of the secrets surrounding me. This is about me now.”

 “Great, that is what it needs to be about you. Just be careful and watch who you talk too.”

 “Where is this coming from?”


“I am not there to protect you.”

SEARCHING

JEREMIAH 29:13 And ye shall Seek me, and find me, when ye shall search me with all your heart.

In todays world when we want to search for answers to a question it is easy.  All you have to do is go to your favorite search engine and type the question or whatever it is you are looking forward.  Today's technology has made it so easy.

As Jeremiah tells as above searching for God is just as easy.  No it is more easy because he knows what we are going to need answered before we even speak it.  We just have to seek him with all our heart.  He is not going to hold a big sign and wave it saying here I am. We do have to a little work on our part.  Matthew 7:7 to ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Keep in mind the answer may not always be yes. It is like I tell me son when I say no and he gets mad.  Sometimes parents just know what is best for you.  We give you advise to try and keep you from getting hurt.  God is our Father and is does know what's best for us.

Today I want to leave you a link to my First Book.  Finding Me. I have really enjoyed writing about Aimee and her friends.
