Breaking The Chains: 31 Devotions in 31 Days eBook!

I finally can share with you a project that the Lord has been leading me on for months. My first devotional eBook!

Do you remember back in September when I started a devotional blog series called Breaking The Chains: 31 Devotions in 31 Days in this post? Then I went 8 days before pulling the plug? I have to confess, it pained me to do it. I wanted to keep writing the devotional on the blog and sharing what I was learning but God stopped me. I wasn't learning enough. Yes, He was showing me amazing things in His Word but I needed to step away from sharing everything before it could change my heart. Does that make sense?

Months later, I'm now able to release what the Lord has taught me about emotional bondage and how we can break free from the chains. I know you will love this book:

"Have you ever felt guilt, shame, fear, anger or low self-worth? Do you feel that way right now? Emotions were created for a purpose but we often don't know what that purpose is. In this devotional, we tackle unhealthy emotional strongholds head on.

For the next 31 days, we'll take a look at what the Bible says along such topics of expectations, justification, accountability and letting go. Each daily devotional is an easy one-page read, packed full of insight to help you break the chains of emotional bondage. Be renewed and refreshed as God works in the deepest parts of your heart to reveal the beautiful person He has called you to be."

I urge every woman, no matter what age or social status, to snag a copy of this devotional when it launches May 27th (the Tuesdays after Memorial Day.) It's not a casual, feel-good devotional. This is for people serious about getting serious with God and looking at bondage fearlessly.

You can buy a copy in the shop for only $6.99 between the launch date of May 27th through June 2nd! The timing is perfect if you want to start the devotions at the beginning of next month. After June 2nd, the book will be available at it's regular price of $9.99. You can also purchase it through the Kindle store, however, the discounted price only applies to book orders through the Hello Awesome shop.

My hearts desire is to spread the message of emotional purity to everyone who hears! God has called us to be pure inside and out. Not just physically but emotionally. Please help me pray for His name to be glorified through this devotion and hearts changed! Let us remember the beautiful words of Paul:

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Back-To-School: Mod Podge Pencil Makeover {DIY}

The other day I received a lovely package from a talented friend, Amanda, who runs the cute online boutique Bub & Nonnie. She was cleaning out her stash of fabric scraps and lovelies...and I had to get my hands on some! Alas, I held in my hand an envelope oozing with fun fabrics and not a project in mind. Until I began to think about back-to-school, which led to pencils, which some how led to Mod Podge...I wish I can explain how my mind works but I really can't.

You may have remembered my first ever Mod Podge project last year, when I gave some grimy shoes a plaid makeover. This post became so popular and prompted me to think of other awesome projects with Mod Podge. Ah but they had to take a back seat as the new project of mommyhood was priority. Now that my baby is a toddler {I don't even want to talk about it} my mind is exploring DIY project ideas again. You have been warned.

What you'll need:
Pencils
Scissors
Fabric scraps
Sandpaper {optional}
Mod Podge
Pencil sharpener

I had a package of cheap dollar store pencils that I thought could use a little back-to-school makeover. First, lay out your fabric alongside a pencil to measure the length. I wanted the fabric to touch right up to the gold eraser band {is that what it's called? Sounds good to me.}

Measure about an inch for the width and cut out the fabric strip. An inch should be plenty to wrap around the pencil lengthwise one time, with a little overlap.

Next, spread Mod Podge generously on all sides of the pencil. Use a brush to evenly distribute the Mod Podge from beginning to end. In simple terms: cover that outdated yellow!

Slowly roll the pencil, pressing on the fabric so that it adheres to the pencil surface. Continue adding light coats of Mod Podge to secure the fabric. Trim any frayed edges and threads. Smooth out the fabric bubbles if there are any.

Cover the entire fabric pencil with a thick, even layer of Mod Podge. Make sure to concentrate on the beginning of the pencil, using your thumbnail to sharpen the edges. Allow 6-8 hours to fully dry before use. Sharpen the pencil with a sharpener. You can use sandpaper to smooth out any frayed edges, but it isn't necessary.

When you sharpen the pencil, you will also shave little strips of fabric so keep that in mind. Small price to pay for such a pretty writing tool, am I right? This would be a great project for both girls and boys. Can you picture a Buzz Lightyear inspired Mod Podge pencil? I would totally use that!

What are your kiddos favorite school supplies?

Are you ready for the madness of a new school year?

4 Reasons Why You Should Write

Lately I've been thinking about how much I love writing. It has been a passion since my childhood. I would read and write all of the time, even snuggling on my favorite tree branch overlooking our yard. There is something about streaming your thoughts through your fingers onto a page that is so freeing. As a wife and a mother, I frequently use writing as a way to express my love. Handwritten notes for my man in his lunch bag and personal mommy-to-son letters for my boy when he is old enough, he can read them and see my true heart. You know. That mommy is a person with emotions not just a chore-giving droid.

If you want to write or enjoy writing already, I've come up with some reasons why you should continue. Whether it's a book, article, letter or just a sweet note to a friend, writing holds so much value. I admit. I am not very good with words in a regular conversation. I scramble my sentences, switch letters, stutter syllables {say that ten times fast!}

When I write, though, I become someone I actually like. I'm more myself, dipping into the depths of my mind and heart and bringing forth something flourishing that can do great things. So if you are thinking about starting a blog, writing more on your blog, dreaming about a book or just wanting to send someone a thank you note, here are four reasons why you should write:

Be a Voice.

If you've got something to say, then say it. Keeping things bottled up helps no one, especially not you. It is actually unhealthy. If you don't have a writing project to let loose on, try starting a journal. Nothing specific, just a place to write down your thoughts and ideas. You'd be amazed how much you have to say and you might even learn something about yourself. Being a voice means turning your inside energy into an outside power source. Go ahead, plug in and write something. 

Make a Difference.

When I started writing this blog, I wanted to inspire others who lived with fear and encourage people to follow their dreams. I never thought how much it made a difference until I started seeing positive feedback from readers. It feels good to write something that touches a heart and creates waves that might bring about profound change. I don't see myself as anything special; just a dork with a computer. But through writing and sharing, lives connect and good things can happen.

Find Peace.

In the past, days have gone by without me even touching a pen let alone open my laptop to write. Those days were usually sad. I always felt like something was missing, even if that day was filled with great things. I am not complaining about my life; I am truly blessed beyond measure!! I'm saying that those days I did not unleash, unload, let go. I felt like a walking bubble bursting from the seams, with thoughts and ideas pending in stagnate waters. Writing can bring peace of mind and clarity.

Leave a Legacy.

Fact: no one can tell your story but you. Writing establishes a foundation and paves the way for others to follow your story and be inspired by it. Leaving a legacy may sound intimidating but it isn't! Think about it. Do you remember the last person who wrote you a handwritten letter? How did it make you feel? Think about the last book you read. What did you learn from it? How did you feel when you walked away? It's in those moments, those nuggets at the end of the writing rainbow that makes the process worth it. The fruit of your labor. The impact you leave with your words can plant seeds and sprout roots in the hearts of writers to come.

What I Wore {While Writing}: Lacy Camo

This is only my second WIWWW series post and I have to tell you, I'm dressing mighty comfy today. Though not as colorful as my previous outfit, I still can't get enough of this lacy tank top from Target! And as I'm typing this, I realize I have shown you two looks so far with tank tops. I would say I'm sorry and that things will change but that will be lying. I don't lie. Truth: I'm in love with tanks. They might be coming around again.

I've decided against making a list of everything I wear plus the links like I did before.
Two reasons being:
1.) I have a lot of mixed, hand-me-down, thrifted clothing.
2.) I don't keep up with the latest trends/fashions so you most likely won't find it in the store anyway

Wow, that makes me kinda sad fashion wise. I guess I'm a poor nerdy writer girl who doesn't wear name brands unless they are gifted to her...hope you enjoy my new "fashion" series....

Speaking of being a writer girl, have you picked up your copy yet of my brand new eBook, "10 Blogging Etiquette Tips for Newbies"? Guys, seriously, I wish I had this when I first started blogging. It's packed with tips, tricks, real-life stories and resources about blogging etiquette. Basically, how we should behave when blogging. I'm currently on a blog tour {see full list here} this week and today I'll be guest posting over on Michelle's blog Let It Shine and giving away a free copy! Say what? Oh and I'm also having a giveaway on my FB page where you can win a free custom logo for your business, shop or blog. And there might be a coupon code for the shop on there...but you should check here to be sure.

Oh and I almost forgot to talk about the skirt and sandals. The skirt is actually made (poorly I might add) by me from an old pair of camo pants. Super comfortable that it should be illegal. Truth: I didn't want to show you the huge tear in the back. It's embarrassing as I was strolling with my son to the park and I heard a big "RIPPPPPP!!!" On a busy street I might add. Luckily I'm a mom and we just learn how to roll with things. So I pretended I wasn't aware of the gaping hole that showed way more of my legs than I wanted to.
The sandals are another Target purchase and I always like the way that they feel but not always the way that they look. What do you think of them? I would opt in to wearing plain flip flops any day.

How about you? Are you a tank top, flip flop kinda gal? What is your favorite store to shop for them? I'd love to know!

Oh and one more thing {man, I'm loosing brain cells} do you see the cute blue and yellow lamp?!! I totally spray painted it for my newly designed living room! It was originally an old gold-bronze and the shade was off-white and dirty. Blasted the two with spray paint and {after a very interesting adventure which I will have to discuss with you another time} wala! The color combo is beautiful. My heart is swelling like a bee just stung it. What colors have you been crushing on lately?

What I Wore {While Writing}: Nerd Glasses Tank

First, I want to clarify something: I don't iron. Well I know how but to me it is optional. And I usually opt out of it {see above photos for proof.} Oh yeah and just to warn you...this short post is laced with links.

Now that the important issues are out of the way, can we talk about this cute nerd glasses tank?! I love it! It is fitted and comfortable. Also bright and cute; two very necessary things when it comes to my wardrobe. Wearing bright colors puts me in a great mood. I feel empowered and fun. It really helps with keeping a positive attitude as I write. PS: this is not my office space. We had a flood last month in the basement and my current desk is MIA. So I've setup shop on our buffet table in the dining room for now. I have to say, I kinda like the location better!

Here is the breakdown:
- Ralph Lauren Cotton Khaki Skirt, thrifted from Savers {best place EVER.}
- No Boundaries, Multicolor Glasses Tank Top, Walmart
- Merona Yellow Cardigan, Target
- Ralph Lauren Polo Plaid Sneakers, Journeys {I think.}

If you're wondering about the book I am holding, it is an awesome read. I'm almost done with it but I already highly recommend. You will see me dressed in this #WIWWW series (almost like WIWW/ What I Wore Wednesday but with a spin) that I don't wear pants. It is a personal lifestyle choice for me based on my relationship with Jesus. The book is called "The Girl in the Dress" and it talks about holiness and modesty. I've had the privilege of meeting the author Lori Wager two years ago during our young ladies conference and she gave me confidence to write my book on purity. Her book is available on her website or in eBook form on Amazon.

Oh and ignore what is behind the curtain...just a way to dress up a buffet table and create extra storage. Like more of these tank tops!

All opinions are my own. I have not received any compensation from the mentioned companies above.

3 Steps Towards Writing Your First Book

When I first began writing, it was in middle school. I would write short stories or start writing ideas in hopes they would become books but I lacked follow through. I guess that's what happens to a creatively-distracted 12 year old girl.

In 2012, when I completed my first paperback book The Palace Keepers, I could hardly believe it. I actually followed through and finished writing a book! All of those handwritten scrap papers and binders filled with notes for the past four years were now nicely typed, edited and published in a real, tangible, legit book. Wow. Not only was it a confidence booster but it really taught me a lot about what writing really is and not what I thought it was.

Before you even start the first page, I wanted to share three steps to help you towards writing your book. There are a lot of false mindsets about writing that I had to break down and power through. I hope you can start off on a better foot and clear your mind of some clutter. Regardless of the genre or style, these tips can help your mind prepare for what is to come.

STEP #1: Pray.

You might not be a Christian writer like I am, but in this step take a moment to reflect on what you want to write and why you want to write it. Start a prayer or devotion journal for writing. Before you write, sit down and journal your thoughts and feelings. Meditate, find peace and invite patience into your space. For me, I ask God to direct my thoughts and words. When you take time before you write to get centered, you are more likely to create something you are proud of.

STEP #2: Plan.

I am a big advocate of writing without planning and it gets me into so much trouble. Schedule a time every day, usually the same time, strictly for working on your book. Not blog posts, not articles. Take time to map out your book summary, characters, chapters, layout, author voice etc. Focus on the bigger picture of what you want your book to sound like, feel like, be like. Think of your target audience and ask yourself some questions: What can I say to inspire them? How do I want the reader to feel when they finish my book? Then answer those questions. Keep them close by throughout the entire book writing process.

STEP #3: Push.

Even before you start the first word, distractions will call your name. Phone notifications will beep, emails will sing and neighbors will knock. That is life. Those can wait (unless your neighbor has an emergency, then send them next door to the other neighbor. Just kidding. Maybe.) Remember your scheduled writing time and stick to it. If you are having writer's block, take a minute to pray, review your plan and push through. Through the darkness, through the cobwebs and through the mess you call your mind. Sometimes it is good to take a break but don't use it as an excuse to slack.
Keep in mind: your dream is to become an author and write a book.

No one is going to write it for you, and quite honestly, no one can write it but you.

What I Wore {While Writing} / New Series

I think I did it, folks. I think I've made history.

Well, not yet anyway but I've been thinking for the last few months about this blog. If you've stuck with me through all of my blogcations and blakes {blog vacations and blog breaks, get it?}, I sincerely thank you. There is nothing more frustrating than following a blog and then having the blogger stop writing new content.

As a stay-at-home/ almost work-at-home wife and mommy, blogging is the best outlet for my creative mind. It's like a digital journal and way to connect with other awesome people. If you still read my blog, you may remember when I was participating in a fashion series started by +Danielle Doerr from Framed Frosting. It was called the Six Piece Remix series and though I didn't finish the entire six weeks, I had a blast doing it!

When re-vamping this blog, I wanted something to showcase my writing but not lose that fashion fun side. I admit, I do not consider myself a fashionista or trend-setter by any means. Which is WHY I am launching a new blog series! It is time to hang up my furry bathrobe, throw those jammies into the hamper and have some daily fun in my closet. I've been actually practicing getting dressed every day...isn't that kinda sad for me to say? Mommies that stay home, you KNOW what I am talking about!

So I am infusing fashion and writing, two things that are fun for me and two things that I actually haven't seen together in the blog world. I'm not talking about being a "fashion writer" but about how fashion can help writing. Every day, I write. I schedule time when my baby boy is sleeping to get down on my laptop and type like mad. Sometimes, creativity doesn't show up and inspiration is running dry. To get the wheels turning and ideas flowing, I am going to experiment with some fashion love.

You all know, when you have a cute outfit on and your hair all stylin', you feel GOOD about yourself. You feel confident and bold. You feel successful before you even leave the house. Well, I am in the house all day, so why not change out of the frumpy-comfies and into something with personality!

I hope you will join me as I start this new devotion to writing while being fashionable. Disclosure: I'm not going to dress like the hottest Vogue cover girl or the latest celebrity. I am going to still be me, using what I have, to bring a positive environment into my space so that my mind can be free to create great things.

Will you follow me in this new series?
What are your thoughts about mixing fashion with writing?
What is your favorite piece to wear to feel confident?

The first post will go live next Wednesday, so stay tuned!

No One Will Ever Love You {a devotional project}

As a young love-sick adolescent, I've often had the thought that no one would ever love me. Have you? Today I can say that my husband loves me, my son loves me and my family loves me. Not because of what I do but because of who I am. They can feel safe in my love and I in theirs. Yet bigger than our love on earth, there is a love that is incomparable...

My latest book project is a devotional about love. True Agape love! With this devotional, I want to break the chains that hold our hearts captive. With each word and each paragraph, I want every heart to understand the true meaning of love and who really adores them. In this world, love is used too often and not in the right way. What is actually lust is confused as love and hearts fall victim daily.

The truth is, no one will ever love you...the way Jesus does!

 the first cover concept

This devotional isn't formatted as a timeframe-type book, like "30 day challenge" or "21 days of love". It is divided into sections and mini-sections to help the mind and heart focus more on the content.

Your funding will help self-publish this devotional through Morris Publishing. This company is amazing and helped incredibly when I published my first book, The Palace Keepers, which was majorly successful and has sold over 110 copies since it's launch in April of last year. For this campaign, the money contributed will go towards an ISBN number, book editing, full color cover and the first book order.

This devotional is so important in a society that paints an untrue picture of what love is. Women everywhere, teenagers and adults alike, struggle every day as they fall into the lies of the enemy. Hope is fading fast and souls need this devotional to inspire them, uplift them, show them who The Lord Jesus Christ really is and what He thinks of them.

 

Help me by spreading the word about this project. Use the share tools attached to this campaign and join me as bonds are broken, hearts are set free and love (real Godly love) is sent into all the world.

New Poetry E-Book Launch!

On Monday June 10th, my personal poetry project {say that 10 times fast} will be available for purchase and download in the shop!

"Conversion of a Heart" showcases personal and deep poetry from artist/author Jacy Lee Pulford. Extracted from her journal as a young convert, the poetry tells an emotional story of what goes through someone's mind and heart when they have to give up all that they've ever known, for a God who has called them. Using original photography to create beautiful imagery to complement each poem, this is sure to be a delightful and inspiring read.

This 31-page collection of poetry is from my journal as I first came to the Lord. Each poem is a piece of my testimony puzzle and sheds an emotional, artistic light into the mind and heart of a new convert. I hope and pray that this book will touch the hearts of those who feel lost, broken, alone, scared and yet hopeful. We are all a work in progress and each journey is different. This is my story, through poems.

I'd love to hear your honest thoughts. Feel free to email any reviews to jacy@artbyjacy.com

That feeling...{Weekend Recap}

Phew, another weekend bites the dust.

Is it just me or are these things flying by faster?

This past Saturday was pretty fun.

I had a booth at our public library in Enfield CT for local authors. The fair was a Children/Teen/Youth event and it was so cool to meet other authors, speak to parents and young kids about my book, The Palace Keepers and the purity of the heart. Here is what my booth looked like:

There was one woman who approached my table and I felt that tug from God in my heart. You know that feeling. The feeling you get when you are behind someone in need at the supermarket and you feel this urge to pay for them, or that voice that tells you to pray/call/text someone out of the blue because you feel God wants them to know He knows where they are and is with them. Yeah...that feeling...

So she reads the back of The Palace Keepers and I start to tell her what it is about.

Her eyes lite up and though I sense some hesitation, she admitted that she needed to read this book, that she was going through relationship stuff at that moment. Wow, God is good!

This small little local fair made me realize what it's all about...reaching people!

Get out there, get connected and meet the need. I'm so blessed to have met some great people and I did learn some neat things.  

What did you do this weekend? Did you connect with others?

The Palace Keepers {My Book Highlighted}

Some of you awesome peeps may have noticed the last couple of Sunday devotionals I've posted have been excerpts from my new book, The Palace Keepers. While thinking about a Monday blog post, it came to my mind that this past weekend, I received a phone call from a local pastor's wife. She had just finished reading the book and wanted me to come next month to speak to the ladies at her church...I cannot tell you the perfect timing for this phone call.

Lately, my heart has been really heavy. Like super-duper loaded. Spiritually I feel like I'm just getting by; almost like my head is completely below the water but I'm trying to breath through a straw...does that makes sense? Anyway, when I hung up the phone after she called, I felt so joyful (at least for a moment lol) It was as if Jesus was letting me know that even though I was going through tough times, He still has a calling on my life and a purpose to fulfill. Thank the Lord!

As I prepare to minister, I want to share with you a little about my book, since that's what has been on my mind:

The Palace Keepers are people who protect the purity of their hearts by, not just protecting only their heart, but their entire palace. Our palaces consist of our minds, thoughts, decisions, heart and body.  It is through the process of purifying our entire palace that we can preserve the pure and cleanliness of our heart.

God showed me that the modern Christian society has focused so much on the physical, that we are losing the basic fact that we need to watch our emotions. We cannot protect the body first and the heart second, that's a backwards system!

With The Palace Keepers book, you will learn through Bible scriptures, Bible & real life stories, thought provoking questions and insights that King Jesus is waiting for us to put Him in the Throne Room of our heart. He has called us to be our own Palace Keepers and we cannot give that job away! If we do, that means we allow other people to control our emotions and ultimately our hearts...and that can do SO much damage!

So take a moment today to pray and ask the Lord to reveal the emotional state of your heart. Have you been a good Palace Keeper or have you given that job away and need to reclaim it?
The book is available on Amazon/Kindle, which is compatible with any tablet or pc. Also in classic paperback form through my ministry website.

I'm not pushing this book for the money. There is a message that needs to be addressed and it is my job, my calling, to get it out! The purity if our hearts is so important and this book will help each of us in the process.

Have you ever heard of emotional purity?

Do you feel like you can relate to a book like this?

Would love to hear your thoughts! Comment below, please :)

Dear David...{Your Birth Story: Letter 4}

I've started a series of letters to my little baby boy, that hopefully one day he will get to read and (hopefully) be inspired by (if not embarrassed by)

DEAR DAVID...

I've been thinking lately how I needed to document the day you were born to share with you someday. You see, there were lots of things going on that day that really threw your 'rents for a loop. Mommy thought you were coming around Wednesday because she felt lots of aches and pains BUT you had other ideas! Instead, you arrived into this world on April 27th 2012 @ 8:43pm...that was Friday night, by the way :)

Daddy and I talked a lot about how we wanted things to go in the delivery room. One thing I loved was Daddy played some nice, soothing water/nature music while we waited. It was like I was in a spa! (one that plugged you into monitors and had you wear a backless robe.) Once mommy had some medicine to help with the pain, she felt like she was in Heaven.

  

Unfortunately, the medicine made the contractions slow down, which meant that we may have to wait even longer! Oh no! They decided to break my water, thinking that would help things a bit and gave me a different medicine. For some reason, your little heart rate started dropping and the doctors kinda got scared...and of course, so did Daddy & Mommy...

Nana, Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Sarah, Uncle Steve, Cousin Brooky & Levi were in the waiting room, wanting to know what was the next step. We all knew that we needed to pray for you and Mommy. The doctor wanted to do a C-section but that was not what Daddy & Mommy wanted! You were so close, the nurse said! Surgery would be sad to do...

Pastor showed up and laid his hand on Mommy's head. Grandpa came in and prayed with Daddy, as he held my hand. Everyone else in the waiting room stood and held hands in prayer. We came together, in Jesus' Name! We knew that He was watching and that He could take care of everything! Guess what? Yup, He did just that! Right after our prayers went up, the nurses changed shifts and we were blessed with a new nurse.

She was amazing! Daddy and Mommy call her our angel! She talked to the doctor and came into the room, preparing your little warm bed for when I delivered you. She got all the equipment ready, and flashed us a big comforting smile :)
She did so much work to make sure that you were delivered the natural way, and not by surgery.
God is so good, David! Remember my other letter about how prayer works? This is another example!

45 minutes after the nurse told me to push, you blessed us with your beautiful presence, which of course made Daddy & Mommy SO happy that we cried with joy...

You were born 6lbs 4oz and 19.75in! Everyone could not wait to hold you and give you kisses. You had lots of people with lots of love in their hearts for you, my David boy. Praise the Lord! You truly were a miracle!

 
Love Always,

Mom

{JJ&M} journaling series: Jesus Loves Me!

 

{entries are edited to protect names & identities}

12/10/07

I am so blessed every day, even if I've lost sight of all the good going in my life.

It's easy to get comfortable with what is positive, and not be thankful but just accept it.
We must always be grateful for the goodness the Lord does for us.
God is showing me little by little how it's our outlook and attitude that affects the events and people around us. If we are excited about something, others will too. If we are in a bad mood, you will notice others also get in a bad mood.

We feed off the energies of one another and we must make sure we are giving off the right kind so others will appreciate it and benefit from it. We must remember we are above those negative tendencies because Jesus lives inside of us and we need to be thankful and glorify His ways.

I have a piece of God in me. All the time. How precious is that?
I am so happy to hear that and remember my Lord loves me and I must trust Him.
Love is a beautiful and strong emotion. It has broken down walls and has revealed many things to the eye.

Jesus loves me and is in me...I need to love him just the same, because He never changes... <3

What's YOUR Story? {Share a Testimony!}

I am loving these blog series that I have going on, don't you?

Well I am looking for more participants in the series entitled "This is My Story"!

Has God delivered you from a trying situation? Have you been healed by His power, covered by His grace and/or had Him answer a prayer? Would you like to have your testimony featured?

So far, I've had the privilege of sharing some amazing stories from Amy and Samantha. In this post, Amy is transparent as she discusses how God delivered her from an eating disorder & brought her true love, while Samantha shares in this post a beautiful story of redemption after dealing with a miscarriage. Real stories from real people!

Now it's YOUR turn...comment below with a brief description of what God has done in YOUR life along with your email address. 

{PS: Please don't get offended if you do not hear from me...there can be a number of reasons why.}

I can't wait to hear YOUR story & share it right here!
