MISSING IN ACTION

It has been such a long time since I wrote regularly - or let's be honest here, at all! Well the Lord has been nudging me now for oh...6 months or so. Hmmm, guess I'm a little slow!

I have no good reason for the years away from this passion, except I let life get in the way. Honestly, when I think of the time I've wasted I just shake my head.

I have one complete novel/novella to submit, another that was returned to me by a publisher that folded, and a whole boat load of idea leads in a file on my computer. Not to mention all the notes/ideas I have entered in my phone!!! (It's so convenient to record an idea when I'm driving so the idea isn't lost by the time I'm back home! Anyone else use this trick?) What a world we live in!

But I thank God for His kindhearted patience. He is so good! He waits patiently for us to respond (much more patiently than we wait for Him to answer our cries)!

Not only did he nudge me to start writing again, but He planted an idea in my head. Suddenly I was hearing it all around me, on the radio, during preaching...hmmm some positive reinforcement maybe? And still I ignored it for this long!

But here I am again, finally ready to take up my pen (well, my keyboard). I hope some of my writing friends remember me, as well as those of you who enjoyed my writing in the past! Here is a  link to my previous work if you don't remember me and would like to check me out! I'd love to get to know you!


I hope you stop by often, I'd love to be a part of your day or week and encourage you along as you encourage me!

God bless you all!

Until next time...

  2. Hello Donna :)

    This is Emily of www.ChristianCondos.net - the condo your daughter and university mates enjoyed over spring break a few years back! What a surprise to receive your invitation to connect via LinkedIn recently. We are delighted you remember us and our year round vacation rentals along God's gorgeous Emerald Coast in Northwest Florida. I have enjoyed reading a few of your blogs just now and am elated to see y'all know Jesus as Savior and Lord :) What great news to hear of Brenda's Nursing School graduation, and even more so with Summa Cum Laude accolades!!! Congratulations to the entire family. We were so impressed by her as the responsible party for the girls travel group. I know your heart overflows with pride and thanksgiving. The Bible says, children are a gift of the Lord :) So true. Our daughter is the best gift ever! Good luck with your writing. Maybe you'd like to visit the beach as our guest yourself? We had author David Stone for a winter at Silver Beach Towers one year. If you ever need blogging material or inspiration you are welcome to use as content... the 4 uniquely distinct resort properties the good Lord has blessed our family with in Destin and Fort Walton Beach, Florida. There are lots of pretty picture on our website, or, COME see for yourself - up close and personal!

    Blessings always,

    Pat and Emily Brown

    1. Thank you so much! With the number of renters you must get I am amazed that you remember anyone. I will pass along the message to Brenda and certainly keep the property in mind for the future! God bless you and yours!
