change jesus lives love
When we love like Jesus does, lives change for the better.
jesus hands given
Jesus has given me eternal life in Him. Let them take my life here, but God holds me in the palm of His hand and no one can take Him from me.
jesus thieves done
We bear the consequences for what we have done to ourselves, and for the sin that rules this world. Jesus forgave the thief, but he didn't take him down off the cross.
jesus rocks foundation
Love one another, Jesus said. Sometimes it took a lifetime to learn how. Sometimes it took someone to hit rock bottom to make someone reach up and grasp hold and be lifted from the mire to stand on a firm foundation.
jesus sunset son
It was no accident, no coincidence, that the seasons came round and round year after year. It was the Lord speaking to us all and showing us over and over again the birth, life, death, and resurrection of his only begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord. It was like a best-loved story being told day after day with each sunrise and sunset, year after year with the seasons, down through the ages since time began.
jesus love-you giving
Beloved, surrender wholeheartedly to Jesus Christ, who loves you. As you drink from the deep well of Scripture, the Lord will refresh you and cleanse you, mold you and re-create you through His Living Word. For the Bible is the very breath of God, giving life eternal to those who seek Him.

Well, I always wanted to write from the time I was very little, and my mother encouraged me. She wrote a journal from the time she was 15 up until about the age of 76.
characters life
The goal is to have every character take on a life of his or her own. Sometimes characters will come into the story that I haven't planned.
days job work
Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.
I'll often dream about characters before I start writing their stories.
freedom general historical issue market needed worked
I actually worked in the general market for many years writing steamy historical romance, and I had more freedom in the Christian market than I ever did in the general market to write about any issue that I needed to write about.
allow job
My job is to allow the character to live and breathe - and become as real to the reader as he or she is to me.
christian fiction hard issues lives speak tear
I want to see Christian fiction speak to the hard and real issues that tear people's lives apart.
head knowledge raised
I had been raised in the church, but I wasn't a Christian. I had a lot of head knowledge but no heart knowledge.
