Look and Live

Good Morning, it has been a few days since I’ve blogged. The past week has been busy. I was planning for a Book Signing that was held this past Sunday. The readers/supporters that came out blew my mind. It was my third signing and tripled in size from the first.  I can’t express how happy that makes me.  In addition, I was working with the cover designer for book four, full-time job, and of course the best roles of my life is that of being a wife and a mother.

                I ran a KDP promotion to celebrate Dawn and Autumn’s book signing. The promotion started with Book 1, All I’ll Ever Ask on Friday and After Church on Sunday.  For three days those books held #1 and #2 in AA Christian Fiction and Mystery/Suspense. I am humbled by every download.  With over three thousand copies download, here comes the downside, not everyone will enjoy my works and will leave heart-breaking reviews.  I read the poor reviews and sighed, but in an instant the Spirit of the Lord, comforted me and I moved on. Because the number of positive reviews and the many emails, and messenger inboxes tells me, my objective is being met. I am writing inspirational drama to cause spiritual reflection.

                Today, awaken for devotion, I was inspired to read from Jesus Calling, Sarah Young. Oh how He loves me.  He gave me a great word of encouragement. I want to share it with you. (see picture below)

                Today’s word was on point.  I/we cannot focus on our imperfections; we will always have areas to improve. However, we must focus on the God who created us and see ourselves as He does, formed in his image.  I am encouraged today because I will focus on the great gifts, love, and mercies He shows me every day.  I am so glad that he loves us. 

Bible Study:  The Dakes Bible revealed these points today, that I will implement in my daily walk.  I hope that you find them inspirational as well. Have a Blessed Wednesday.

3 ways to look

1: Look within to be miserable Psalm 77:1 (we will always find imperfection in ourselves. Our weight our hair, may never be what we desire. This can cause low self-esteem.

2: Look around is to be distracted 73:3 (Our nation is in an uproar, there is always an invite somewhere, and so much to keep us distracted from the things that matter.

3 Look expectantly to God and be blessed. Psalm 34:5,121:1 (When we look to God we will be Blessed because He gives us perfect peace.

Look toward the hills from where our help comes from.  Our help comes from the Lord.
