From Ashes To Beauty!

I just need to write and share how incredibly amazing Jesus is! January 17 I had my first actual Book signing at a BORDERS Bookstore. It was such an incredible experience. It was form 2 - 4PM and in that time 33 books were sold - THANK YOU JESUS! As I sat there it just overwhlemed me and I was in awe, it was such a surreal feeling as people walked by and I could hear comments like" Oh, wow, that must be an Author!" It then really hit me that I am an actual published Author now. Then it really left me humbled and with a heart overflowing with a joy I can't even begin to tell you when I saw that Jesus took my past hurts and experience of being a Victim of Abuse and turned it around for His glory and has brought me out of the ashes and given me such beauty for them! This has been an incrediblly long road and this was one of the biggest days of my life as far as sweet victory's go! I am hoping and praying that this book will touch hearts and reach souls leading them to a love and peace that only sweet Jesus can give! My prayer is that this book will reach lots of people and through it that hearts will be healed by Jesus. Will you help me and stand in prayer with me. Too many people these days have been deeply hurt and don't know how to get past it, people feel lost, abandoned, rejected and unloved...the enemy so wants to keep people far away from God's healing and love. But we know God's love knows no bounds and is ever faithful and I am here to share with others that they are not alone, not unloved or abandoned...their hearts can dance again!

My book is called " Learning To Dance Again" - google it, or you can order through any bookstore, or through Tate Publishing company. Help me spread the word and buy a book for yourself or to have and be able to pass on to someone who is in need of it.

I have seen and experienced God's hand at work and know He is faithful to finish that which He started and take that which was meant for harm or to hurt us and take it and make it into something truly beautiful!

Humbled and In Awe!

Just One Act...

You ever wondered what this world would be like if everyone did just one small act of kindness for someone every day....
shared a smile, opened a door, gave a hug or encouraging word, said hello to people walking by,
took time to listen to someone, and so on???
One of the radio stations I listen to has random acts of kindess days on Mondays and I think it's great then I though...wow, as Christians this should be our day everyday! What a light we would be if we shared our love everyday not just to the people who are easy to love either.

Kind of like that move..."Pay It Forward"..we should get in the habit of being the one that could just make the difference for someone that day and share God's love with others.

So next time you are out at the grocery store and you see that cute lil ol lady, or that mom that has the toddlers with her and a baby crying and she looks like she just wants to scream...go on over and lend a hand, unload or load their cart for them, or try buying a coffee or something for the next person in line when you are in a drive thru...send a teacher a note just because to thank her, send anyone a note to say hi and you are thinking of them....tell someone you love them...

With that being said know I send you all my love and hugz!

Sweet Dreams all!

God's goodness

I found myself today in awe again of my sweet Jesus and the way He loves me! The littlest things to me are important to Him and He is ever so faithful to always send me a lil reminder to let me know that He KNOWS and is concerned about the things that concern me. He wants to see me smile and when I smile and give praises back to Him, I know His heart must melt too!

I can feel God stirring up something in me the past few days...it's something wonderful, I can feel it. We all have times when we get busy in our day to day things of life and we miss out on those simple lil treasures that He wants to bless us with everyday. I have had a lot of "busy"ness lately but He is ever so faithful to be there for any moment He can get with me. I have really been dwelling a lot lately on His goodness and promises to us when we love Him and I gotta tell ya I am all fired up and ready to take on the world and all it has to offer! He's doing a new work in me and I can't wait to share it with all of you!

For those of you out there who are just getting to know me...I am a newly published author and would love for you to chek out my book, " Learning To Dance Again.." - you can google it, or find it through a bookstore or the Publishing Co.( http://www.tatepublishing.com/). This is something God called me to do. There are so many people out there walking around wounded and crippled from past hurts and experiences that aren't living in the total joy and peace that He has promised us through Him. In my book I share some personal testimonies that speak on how God took my broken heart and helped it to dance again. I found healing, forgiveness, joy and restoration in His arms and want nothing more than to be a vessel for Christ...

If you have been hurt, betrayed, abused or abandoned...know you are loved by the one who has the ability to heal and restore. You can have peace and joy...JESUS loves you and I am praying for all of you!

Good night and may Jesus knock your socks off with goodness!
