And more…

I want to share with you the most recent event in this new chapter of my life. My first prerelease book launch signing was at my church in Pea Ridge, Arkansas. It was truly a mixture of emotions! It was a little nerve racking at first. When I got those butterflies in my tummy, my thought was, “this gives new meaning to transformation from the inside out.” Lol! But the butterflies settled, and it resulted in a fun and fulfilling day. My book got into the hands of many excited and appreciative friends.

My church family could not have been more supportive and encouraging. I was
surrounded with friends, old and new, to help pull this off successfully and
enjoyable. I must mention my husband, David. Afterall, we were united, as one,
fifty-one years ago and he continues to be right by my side.

We moved on to a more intimate celebration in our home with our grown
children and most of our local family. What a loving crew that I am so proud of!
This event gave me the opportunity to not only share my book, but express to
them they are an integral part of the reason I write. My desire is for them to know
my love for them but, most of all, the love of our Lord! That is the point! The love
of God through it all. The highs, lows and transformations in life.

And “Even More”…

As you read the narrative, addition, and following poem excerpt from “Blue Skies, Butterflies, and Battlegrounds”, you will see how and why this poem was selected for the title of my book.

On page 57; “You grip my hand , guide me through,  the very one I’m desperate for. While drenching me in Your cleansing power, You’re transforming me even more!”

On page 76; “I thank God that what He has given me doesn’t stop with the finalization of this book. For He has told me, The best is yet to come, because He is the gift that keeps on giving.”

Thank you for sharing a moment with me today. I hope you have been encouraged. I look forward to hearing from you.
