Waiting for a new post?

While you might be waiting to see a newsworthy post on this weblog, you can look around at all the other little gadgets and widgets I've added, particularly in the left margin.

Being Mom and teacher to 3 little ones keeps me as busy as a bee during honey season. Then there's all the other hats I wear...... Currently, I am in one Bible study that will end in time for two others to begin. Starting in April, I will present a one year cycle of studies about the Feast/Holy Days of the Bible and how they tie into the rest of the Bible. This is for a group of area homeschool families. Beginning in March, our DC4K (Divorce Care for Kids) will be starting back up at church. I look forward to my third semester serving these 5-12 year old kids! A busy Spring indeed!!

In the meantime, I live in a band of the midwest where winter and summer are slated to collide and wreak havoc of historic proportions! I was at the grocery store last night and there were literally 15 loaves of bread left in the entire bread aisle (minus the one I bought)!! Rock salt? Not a chance! So be safe, no matter where you are and know that I am praying for all my weblog visitors.

Blessings,
Lisa

More views inside

I just added the introductions to chapters 1-3 to the page "See Inside the Book". Check it out if you don't have the book and are considering purchasing a copy. While the book is available where books are sold, my publisher is a print-on-demand company. This means that bookstores most likely won't have it on their shelf because they cannot return it. That's the book business. They stock product for a time and the distributor provides a window of opportunity for the retailer to return what doesn't sell. That's what retailers look for when purchasing inventory so they don't get strapped with overstock.

Nevertheless, Healing Letters is available through the major distributor so that anyone can order it for you. You just might have to prepay or it may not be returnable. They can get it however. Christian bookstores, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, Amazon, WalMart, Borders, etc. Especially online places. I'm still working on getting it available through Christian Book Distributors.

To show how far-reaching Healing Letters has already been, I found this past week on Amazon copies being sold in Japan and UK. This weblog has had visitors from Israel, Croatia, Finland, Canada and the US. I just had high hopes of taking it to other states. Furthermore, the one page with the most visitors has been "The Main Thing" which is the most significant aspect about this project to begin with. It is so exciting to see what God is doing with it. Sometimes God has to go above and beyond us to make Himself obvious. As Christians wanting to know more about Him, we should figure out how He operates and then watch for it. When we want to know more about ourselves, we figure out patterns and then establish desired patterns or habits. Have you ever said to someone, "You always do that!" Maybe they don't always do that thing, but you notice a pattern of behavior. Well, in a very good way, God is not confined to our expectations, but He does tend to have a way about Him in order to reveal more of Himself to us. "He always does that!" Afterall, we were created to be in relationship with Him. He's not playing hard-to-get. I love that about Him!
