My Faith Dream Journey of writing has taken many turns. I've felt anger, sadness, grief, joy, and peace. While I never know how things will turn out,  I trust they always will turn out for the best. This marks my 3rd year on this amazing writing journey.  When I started my online writing, I only dreamed of becoming a published author one day. Well my friends, today is the day.  I

Have you ever stared at a blank piece of paper with pen in hand and nothing came to mind? Some may refer to this as writer's block and every writer has experienced this at some point in their writing career. I find if I just start writing something; anything, then my mind begins to process the ideas and thoughts I want to convey. For the past year, I've been writing a Fiction book. I will go

Faith Dreams Journey is a journey of hope; a journey towards living out one's dreams. I've lived and laughed, loved and cried. I've experienced many joys and many sorrows.  Through all of this, I've lived my faith dream. I'm discovering new paths. I'm searching for real purpose. As I reach my goals, I set myself on new heights. Following along the pastures of golden dreams,

Where have I been? Not far away my friend. My passion of writing has taken me on some fantastic journeys and I'm loving every minute of it. This is what I call, living the dream. As a writer, you never know how your work will be accepted. Sometimes you pour your heart and soul in a piece and no one ever notices. Sometimes you write a piece that speaks volumes and others take notice. The writing

As this journey of life has taken me up and down so many paths, I've always been eager to share what I learned along the way. Here on Faith Dream's Journey, I'm just a dreamer living by faith and my current venture is writing my first eBook. Since I'm writing in a lot of different places these days (online and personal), I have to prioritize. With everything that happens in life, when

People say…We’re building character, strengthening our walk, as we’re waiting. While we can’t force things to happen, we learn by waiting, in faith, for we know all good things, come to pass for those who trust in their dream. I’ve learned many things during those periods of waiting. Lessons in life that taught me wisdom during those days when nothing else seemed to happen. Waiting to find a

Being thankful is easy. Giving thanks in all circumstances is tough. Recently I downloaded an Ebook by Tammy Maltby titled, "The God Who Sees You; Look to Him When You Feel Discouraged, Forgotten, or Invisible." It is a fabulous book filled with encouragement and hope. The author expresses in simple terms the abundant impact of God's unfailing love. Sometimes I forget how incredibly

It's one of the most popular books on the market. A New York Times # One Bestseller and millions of women are reading E.L. James' book, Fifty Shades of Grey. The controversial book was banned in several town libraries. Yet most women reading this bestseller will say the book is not controversial. What's all the uproar about?

Have you ever been unsure of yourself? Have you found it difficult to discern whether something was right for you or not? Predictability is comfortable. Knowing what lies ahead and being certain in some areas makes us feel comfortable. Who wants to upset that happy routine? Sometimes people or events come into your life and everything changes. What was once a normal routine of expectations

Inspiration fills my space. My senses are renewed by the smells, sounds, and whispers of a new breeze of faith. I'm writing more fiction these days in young adult and children's genres. I'm also telling my stories in a new eBook I'm developing. These are exciting times. I'm curious too. My appetite for writing seeks solutions and I'm reading a lot. It's a juggle of priorities. How

“The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said."  (Matthew 28:5-6) Today we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, the day Christ followers praise and worship the risen Savior as we eagerly await for His return. For He is Risen. Jesus overcame death! Thomas Kinkade "Sunrise" (

Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to hear about the passing of Thomas Kinkade. The "Painter of Life" as he was called, was an inspirational artist. His works are beautiful that capture the essence of the divine light. Many of his pieces include scripture and with such an amazing talent, I was saddened to hear of his death. Kinkade's work has always been an inspiration to me.

He returned to his home town the week before he was sentenced to death."The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitors took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted, "Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Hail to the King of Israel!" (John 12:13) Jesus rode in on a donkey

Oh the weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The Bible tells us in Psalm 90:10, "Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." This weekend I was reminded of how fragile our lives really are. When one encounters death, be it through

Staying in the Word and keeping a fresh perspective is necessary these days. Romans 15:4 says, "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Some days may be seem more difficult than others. Getting into the Word of God and staying there takes endurance. There will be

I'm inspired to share this thought for the day. In my daily meditation this morning, I read a piece about Noah.  I loved what it said in just a few short words, so I thought I would share this with you. "Noah as a person inspires me, but his obedience challenges me." Genesis 6:22 says, "Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him." Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his

When a person experiences hardships over and over again, they come to expect it. If they live in these types of situations long enough, life is something they just endure. There is little pleasure because they expect another crisis around the corner. But what happens when someone comes along and offers that person some kindness?    What happens when they experience

Leap Day comes but once every four years. What does that mean to me? Well it's a milestone. For me, it's about how good God has been to me. He has blessed me in many ways. If one looks back every four years and can say, 'this is what God has done for me,' they may see prayers answered, problems adverted, or reasons why certain things had to happen. I have failed plenty of times in

This week's Bible Study is on the Stages of Faith and finding that perfect faith. What is perfect faith? Everyone will go through stages of faith during their walk with God. As believers begin their walk, they are considered 'Baby' Christians. When a person first accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they are beginning their first stage of faith. Most believers will tell you

It's one of the famous verses found in the Bible, "For we live by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 If we study the Bible we'll see faith is a common thread among many chapters. In Hebrews 11:1-3 we read, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds

Imagine my surprise when I came across this devotion today. “I pray often that God will point out people that I can take a risk on.  Because we reach out to others, because we offer someone a 2nd chance, because we are kind and take a risk on someone God might use them to help many others have a life that counts in huge ways.”          &

Do you worry about tomorrow? Do you have an issue going on right now that is causing you to worry about your future? How many times have you heard the expression to stop worrying about it? You want to trust more but you still worry things will get worse. Worry is a test of faith. Allowing worry to penetrate your life keeps you trapped. Instead focus on what God can do and not what

What are your New Year’s resolutions?  Do you make them?  Many people make resolutions but fail to keep them.  Some do not make resolutions at all. Instead of making a New Year’s resolution, why not pick a word, one word, to live by in 2012.  Last year my one word was creativity.  I focused on being more creative in all my endeavors.  I like the one word idea.&
