God is Alive and Active in our lives

Hi Everyone;

Today I want to talk about the role of God in our lives. How do you view God? Do you think of Him as the big guy in the sky, some cuddly angel with wings or do you think of Him at all? Well God has told us in scripture that He is alive and active in our lives. In Psalm 46 it says,

“God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help in trouble, therefore I will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountain falls into the heart of the sea…”

Around every bend, in every situation, God is there. In fact because He loves each of us He teaches us through all of the adventures and misadventures of life. In Romans 8:28 it says,

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” 

Furthermore, He tells us to trust Him. When things don’t go our way, He asks us to consider the question, “To what purpose has this occurred,” and not “Why me?” In Proverbs 3:5,6 it says,

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on  your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.”

God is for us…not against us, so walk with Him.

Until next time…

Disaster! Around the Bend

Coming Soon!!

My new book is a great story for all ages.  To be released in the winter 2025 Can’t wait!

Here is a quick blurb;

Twelve-year-old Jan Amelia McLean (or Jantastic, as she likes to be called) is afraid of lots of things – like finding new friends, being accepted at a new school and wild rivers, though she tries to hide it under her carefree, rather zany mask. The only person to whom she reveals her true hopes and fears is her best friend, Gaston, who listens well, but speaks little (after all, he is a donkey). After the big move, Jan is excited to go on the annual family canoe trip. Something familiar during this time of change. However, disaster strikes and once again she is proven to be inferior, when she throws down her paddle and hides her eyes, rather than face the, “I don’t wanna chute”.  She is mortified that her cowardice is revealed to her whole family, but is determined to prove that with her new found faith she can overcome this flaw. She devises a plan to take on the challenge of a kids-only canoe trip to the very same chute to prove that she is no longer afraid. But her high hopes seem to be dashed when calamity strikes just around the bend. Will Jan’s faith prove strong enough?

But, what is a donkey doing in a canoe??

Stay tuned – more details to follow.
