Hello dear friends! In this beautiful month of October, so many exciting things are happening that it is hard to keep up with them all! I appreciate each of you sharing in our excitement about our grandbaby! As I write this post - our little one is still hanging out in its "4.5-star" hotel. Danielle and her husband shared with us that they think the baby is enjoying its stay with all the needs provided, but they took .5 stars off because things have gotten a little cramped, lol! Danielle is more than ready for the hotel's "guest" to make its grand appearance - but we have yet to see that happen... soon though, very soon I hope to make that announcement!

But I do have several exciting announcements to make! First, our home will arrive next Friday, October 11! We just got the news this week, and we are so excited. I hope to share the exciting arrival news with you next weekend, so stay tuned :)
My second announcement is exciting too!
I mentioned in a previous post that I had been working on a new book, and that it would be in print soon! I'm so excited to announce that the book has been published, and is available for purchase now. "Untold Story" is a collection of short stories by amazing authors (both published and newbies) who came together to write a Biblical historical fiction telling the "untold story" of 10 Bible characters! Each story is unique, and crafted to encourage and bless the reader!
To celebrate in the excitement of this book, I am giving away a copy of the book, here on my blog! You can also visit my FB page and enter there. You can also visit my IG page, where I am giving away a copy there as well - so you have 3 chances to win this book!
I would appreciate it so much if you could share with your family and friends (if any of them are readers) that this book is now available. It will be a blessed addition to your book collection!
Each of the contributing authors in the story worked together as part of a writing community, Christian Writers Sanctuary. Together with professionals in the industry, we learned the process of self-publishing, editing, formatting, and publishing. A very talented man, John Collado designed the cover of our book and does amazing work. It was a fantastic project from start to finish, and we are so excited to share this book with you!
All you have to do is leave a comment below, and if you have an anonymous comment, please either privately email me your address (through my blog contact page) or provide some other way that I can contact you.

In the aftermath of the horrible hurricane that struck last Friday, my heart continues to be lifted in prayer for these hurting folks.
If any of you or your loved ones have been affected by the hurricane, please reach out to me, as I'd love to encourage them with a care package. We've heard of so many issues with help getting directly to people who need it, and we want to give directly to those in need.
Please know that our hearts are burdened in prayer for those who have suffered so much, and continue to suffer as rescue efforts continue. We would love to be a part of helping but want to make sure the help is going directly to the people who can use it now.
Well, I think that is enough excitement for one week! I am sharing with you an older video that I made but that I chose today to be an encouragement for your hearts. We know the Master of the Wind! In spite of all the terrible things that happen, our Lord is an ever-present help in the time of trouble!
