One way the Lord has been speaking to me lately is by quotes that I have come across either on the web or by reading. Easter is early this month (March 23rd). This month on my blog, leading up to Easter, I am going to share some of the quotes that I have been saving, ones that the Lord hit my heart with. And maybe it will do the same for you, first quote will be on Monday.

On an unrelated note, please visit me at CWO this month. I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Jeanette Windle, whose passion is the Colombia people. I not only LOVED her book, but I would love to get the word out concerning her ministry. I believe she has much of the same passion for Colombia as Shannon and Sophie now have for the Compassion International.

And basically the message is: we as Americans are blessed to be living here, but we must, must, must not be confined by our four walls and our neighborhood. We need the see the world in our vision as Christians.

over at Book Buzz, I have a special person I would like you to meet.

Today is my first day as book reviewer for CWO.

Have you ever felt you are blessed with something you enjoy, but you do not feel worthy to be given the task? That is how I feel about,

Book Buzz for Christian Women Online.

Here God is taking a girl who can not spell worth a hill of beans, and who does not correctly use punctuation to save her life.I love reading so much and I have been given this awesome opportunity to read and review wonderful books that help women draw closer to God. If that is all it entailed then I would be fine. But I also get the wonderful opportunity to interview some great women. In order to interview them you need to contact them, and sound …..well intelligent.

Sometimes you have to pass through their PR person first. I can not tell you how many times I have sent an email then found a misspelling. And then Satan beats me over the head ALL.DAY.LONG about it. He reminds me how unworthy I am to be doing this, and how I am going to make a fool of myself. With Book Buzz I am speaking to WRITERS for goodness sakes. They know how to…well WRITE. And here is little ‘ol me who just struggles to spell!So with great excitement and with some trepidation I would love for you to head over to September’s edition of Book Buzz . I am so excited about this new adventure, but I would be lying if I did not have a fear that I am going to somehow fall flat on my face.

I do have to say the Lord has blessed me this month, because the first book I reviewed has become a very special book to me. I have come to know this author via email, and I feel I can call her friend. I feel like she wrote the book just for me, and it is only the first book in a series (yippe!). I would encourage you to buy her book when it comes out the first of October (or better yet, pre-order it). Don’t worry I will be reminding you on my blog when it comes out.

Thank for letting me ramble and thank you for joining me on my new adventure. Now head on over and tell me what you think =)

PS- also under “Reads” here on my blog I am going to try to keep track of the books I have reviewed so you can have a resource place to come back to.

September 1st…

can you figure out what it is?

Remember I mentioned in my birthday blog that I know new and exciting things are happening? Well if you read this months Christian Women Online maybe you will discover my new hat.

Head on over here:

When you find my new hat please thank the person whose shoes I am filling. For I am a wee bit nervous filling in for someone who has far more talent than me. She has been a wonderful blessing to CWO.

“With God All Things Are Possible” Mark 10:27

I have to say God is showing that to me in a big way. Head on over to read the August edition of CWO, Darlene has such an awesome, awesome guest feature.

And if you have not signed up to receive CWO in your email box….why? It is such a wonderful mix of women that only God could bring to together. I have been so excited to see his hand work in Christian Women Online.

Also remember today at 5pm Eastern time is the last time to enter this.
