He thinks about you~

When you think no one is thinking about you... that’s not true! There is someone BIG thinking about you. He thinks about you every second of the day! He has given us so many gifts, yet we often don’t notice them. He paid a debt for us that none could pay. He aches for you to see the true Him and have a conversation with Him... Why would you not??? Will most of the world is telling you that He is hate and you will be too if you follow Him. I tell you He is love, powerful love and to trust that voice that tells you “This is a lie!”
Become something different... don’t follow the crowd... stand for the truth and a love like no other. Can you hear Him calling for you?

For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
~Jeremiah 29:11

CSFF Blog Tour: Dragons of the Valley

This is the second CSFF blog tour for January, this time it is on a book called, Dragons of the Valley by Donita Paul, the second book to The Chiril Chronicles. Silly me forgot to opt-out of this tour so I can't tell you how the entire book is, but I can tell you a little about this wonderful author and what her book is about.

Donita K. Paul retired early from teaching school, but soon got bored! The result: a determination to start a new career. Now she is an award-winning novelist writing Christian Romance and Fantasy. She says, “I feel blessed to be doing what I like best.”

She mentors all ages, teaching teenagers and weekly adult writing workshops.

“God must have imprinted 'teacher' on me clear down to the bone. I taught in public school, then home schooled my children, and worked in private schools. Now my writing week isn’t very productive unless I include some time with kids.”

Her two grown children make her proud, and her two grandsons make her laugh.

War threatens the peaceful land of Chiril… can one painter-turned-reluctant-swordsman really help?

With an invasion of her country imminent, Tipper Schope is drawn into a mission to keep three important statues from falling into the enemy’s clutches. Her friend, the artist Bealomondore, helps her execute the plan, and along the way he learns to brandish a sword rather than a paintbrush.

As odd disappearances and a rash of volatile behavior sweep Chiril, no one is safe. A terrible danger has made his vicious presence known: The Grawl, a hunter unlike any creature encountered before.

To restore their country, Tipper, Bealomondore, and their party must hide the statues in the Valley of the Dragons and find a way to defeat the invading army. When it falls to the artistic Bealomondore to wield his sword as powerfully and naturally as a paintbrush, will he answer Wulder’s call for a champion?

To purchase this book please go to http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400073405 (or your local Christian book store)

~*~Please Help Save this Book Series~*~

I am asking anyone to help join me and other fellow fans in helping to save The Berinfell Prophecies. A beautiful book series by the great Wayne Thomas Batson and Christopher Hopper. Book 1 Curse of the Spider King and Book 2 Venom and Song are available at most local Christian book stores, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. If you love to read, especially Christian fantasy please add it to you Christmas wish list :-) They also make a wonderful gift, even to non- Christians! I have so many stories on giving these books to others... it has been something that has really touched my heart!

Thomas Nelson the company that published these books is thinking about not publishing the third and final book to this beautiful trilogy. But us who are fellow fans, parents who love good moral books, and ones who have a huge heart for Christian fantasy can stop this... but only if we tell and share on how we feel about this to Thomas Nelson by writing the head person for this series a letter. Please don’t hold back on this, every voice counts, even if you have not read this book series you can still help! If you would like to help leave a comment or a like and I will send you the information on writing a letter to Thomas Nelson. Don’t let another good book series by great authors be lost forever!

Give Water. Buy Life!

I joined the beautiful Jennifer Hopper and Christopher Hopper of Team Hopper in giving the gift of safe water this Christmas... A small gift of $10 brings safe water to one person... how awesome is that! :-) Join our team @ www.giftsofwater.com/teamhopper

I am thankful

There is so much to be thankful for :-) Thank you God for your great love and blessings you have given me. I'm so thankful for my beautiful friends and family. I'm thankful for the great country that I live in... even though at times it doesn't seem very great I'm still truly very blessed to be an American woman!

~*~Happy Thanksgiving everyone~*~
