It seems on Mondays is when I hear something - usually good - about my writing endeavors. Today I received a call from the publisher of a magazine in Orlando wanting to use a story I submitted for their wedding publication. I had written a story about my daughter's wedding day and the sadness of saying goodbye when she left to live across the country. A picture of the two of us will also be used.
This opportunity is the second story published in this magazine since September. Catering mostly to women, the publication offers a creative flair with both their photography and layout and design. I am excited to be a small part of it. www.maggiezine.net

Everyday Grace
Everyday Grace and Everyday Miracles is due to be published at the end of the year. Lorna will be making an 8 city + tour to promote it. I love the concept - everyone has their own story to tell about how God supplied a miracle in their life and the grace to get through a difficult time.
I am currently proofreading my book - hope to finish that part before I fly to Seattle at Christmas to reunite with my daughter. I was thinking this morning how life is so short and precious and that we need to spend the time with those we love more often. I would hate if my life moments with my only child was reduced to once a year...I'm praying God will create a miracle for us that somehow we can get together more often.
I found my prayer journal from 1993. Want to be convicted? Just read how once you were on fire for the Lord and then turned into a warm Christian. I had a major wakeup call to the task ahead of each of me. In those short months - because I was willing to speak out - I saw many lives changed. Why not today? God is still in the business of hearing prayers and changing lives.

Chosen
I awoke to great news this morning! I won my first writer's contest. I submitted a Christmas story called Chosen to Women of Passions web site and it was chosen! The story will be sent out in their annual newletter and be posted on line Starting Dec. 15th - please look for it. I hope it will bless you as much as it did me living it.
Yesterday I had a story accepted in a new book being put together for the military called Secure the Fort. I wrote a story about a time as newlyweds when we were stationed in the military in Va. Be praying for this book that it will bless so many in the Armed Forces.
