Happy April!Hello, my blog friends! I'm happy to be back after last month's hiatus. How are you all doing this lovely month?Life Stuff:The Hubbins and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary this month, so it's already been a great month. :) Same as last month, I've been busy with church, friends, and my job, but this month, I'm hoping to be able to read and write more. What are your goals this month?Writing Stuff:I haven't had a ton of spare time, but I've been taking James Patterson's MasterClass over the past month. It's very informative and I've been enjoying it. I'm still writing when I can.Reading Stuff:​Since my last post, I've read: [image error] [image error] [image error] [image error] [image error] [image error]​And I'm currently reading: [image error][image error]What are you reading?Prayer Request Stuff:Here are the prayer requests I've received over the last month:

Last Month's Requests:

Penny M. - Prayers for all in need this Thanksgiving and beyond. God Bless

Kathy A. - Asking prayer for my daughter who is pregnant. She has been sick so much and having a difficult time. 

Sally D. - My new baby granddaughter was born 10 weeks premature, weighed 2 lb 11 oz. After 4 months, she's over 10 lbs! I am very thankful for this miracle, praising the Lord!

Me - I requested prayer for Heidi T., who was battling cancer and in hospice. Heidi went to be with the Lord a week before Christmas. I was able to visit with her a few days before she passed and she was full of faith, hope, and peace. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.

Thanks so much for your prayers, friends. Bible Reading Stuff:Over the last month, I have been working through the Bible study "12 Women of the Bible" by Lysa TerKeurst and multiple other authors. I've really enjoyed it. :)

With the Bible app on my phone, I listened to Song of Solomon, Philemon, and Deuteronomy. (Over the last year, I've been reading randomly selected books of the Bible using Random.org to pick a number. It's different, but I have been switching between the Old and New Testament regularly and I like that it keeps things fresh.) What have you been reading lately?February and March's Winners:​And the winners of last month's giveaways are:
