Still Coming Soon

Update -- The book is still coming soon.

The first cover design just didn't work. It was back to the drawing board with a new idea. I think this one will work.

Trusting God's perfect timing for the release.

Thank you for your patience!

Garden of Love

From Garden of Love...

Some people have been so hurt they put up a prickly exterior to keep others away. This gives the appearance of being an undesirable weed when nothting could be further from the truth--we are all really beautiful, wonderfully made children of God.

and

We can't change the weeds; only the Holy Spirit can tranform. We can be careful to stay out of His way and not cause harm. We can show compassion and grace, just as our Father has shown us. We are all flowers in God's Garden of Love.

Lunchtime Prayers

This is a snip it from Lunchtime Prayers --

Do you have a friend whose prayers seem to impact your life in a powerful way? God has blessed me with special friends whose prayers have changed my life in countless situations.

The key ingredient is the love inserted into their prayers. I can pray like crazy for myself, as I had been doing in this situation. However, it was when I opened my heart, shared my concerns, and let my friend who loves me pray, that God really was able to move in a powerful way. Prayers from a heart of love change the world. Lunchtime prayers can change the course of your day.

Waiting

Time is ticking away. We are one day closer to spring and one day closer to the book being published. The book is in interior design, and I expect to see the first draft (including my first peek at the book cover) this week!

Thank you Chinyere for praying for my book this morning after Sunday school.

We are talking about faith in the workplace on Sunday mornings at Abundant Life Church. Everyone is welcome to come out and join us. After a four-week session on Sunday mornings we are going to start a small group on Wednesday evenings. Again, anyone is welcome to join us. Contact me if you are interested in either.

Thank you Pamela for purchasing the first copy of the book! No, it is not officially for sale yet. The book price hasn't even been set yet. But, you bought one anyway. I appreciate the vote of confidence. I also appreciate your comment on how the book will stimulate conversations that are not happening in the workplace, but that need to be. I just appreciate you!

Many have said you would like to purchase a book when it is available. Thank you. I appreciate each and everyone of you.

God bless, Shari
