I have been a freelance writer of articles for years before I got my first break with my devotional, Changing Zip Codes.

My debut novel, Lake Surrender came from experiences I had in an autistic classroom as I learned to step into these children's world. I have a soft spot for single parents and parents of special needs children.

I also love camp and have had some significant life events happen at a camp. It seemed the perfect setting.

Although I've moved many times, my husband and I are currently in North Carolina, enjoying the mountains and learning to like livermush.

To look at her with her round, smiley face, wire-rimmed glasses and soft spoken voice, one would never guess that only a few years earlier she had worked for the CIA as a spy in the Middle East. Only after getting to know her better did I believe her outrageous and fascinating yarns.

You never know what stories people have hiding inside of them! My friend may possibly show up as a character in one of my future novels!(less)

Walking Through the Valley of Quiet

I’ve been on a strange trip this year as I walked through chemo treatments for Hodgkin Lymphoma. Surrounded by the prayers of family and friends, I still had to navigate the way through a tunnel of unexpected side effects. Would I be able to have enough energy to do the dishes that day or put away laundry? Would my legs steady me, and would my stomach cooperate with the food I allotted it? Or coul

“So what do you do when you are stuck?

The first thing I do when I am stuck is pray. But I’m not talking about a quick, Help me Lord, Sunday’s a comin’ prayer. When I get stuck I get up from my desk to head for my closet. Literally. If I‘m at the office I go over to a corner that I have deemed my closet away from home. I get on my knees and remind God that this was not my idea, it was His…

None of this is new information to God…

Then I ask God to show me if there is something He wants to say to prepare me for what He wants me to communicate to our congregation. I surrender my ideas, my outline and my topic. Then I just stay in that quiet place until God quiets my heart…

Many times I will have a breakthrough thought or idea that brings clarity to my message. . .

Like you, I am simply a mouthpiece. Getting stuck is one way God keeps me ever conscious of that fact.”
― Andy Stanley, Communicating for a Change: Seven Keys to Irresistible Communication
