I have been invited by an agent to do a proposal for a series of books on hope. That is big news in itself, but it isn’t a done deal. I have to write a proposal that will knock her socks off, and want her to become your agent. I am in the process of putting that together, and it isn’t an easy job. I think there may be a few thousand re-writes to get it the way I think is presentable. Wish me luck, and I will update you on the progress, and the outcome.

As we approach the holidays-it is only 41 days until Christmas-we have thoughts of hope and love.

There are those who feel the opposite during this time. Some feel deep depression, and hopelessness.

How could this happen?

I have one example of a friend who just lost his wife recently, and will face the holidays without his wife for the first time. There are those who have lost their jobs, and can’t see a very bright Christmas coming for their children as far as getting them gifts.

I could go on with other examples, but you get the picture. What can we do to help?

My friend has had many families from the church invite him to come to their homes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. He is prayed for by many prayer warriors.

For those who don’t have a rosy Christmas coming because of a loss of their jobs, you can send gifts to their home without letting them know who did it, and brighten up their look on life.

Think about these things as we approach the holidays. Think, “What would Jesus do to help these people? Think, what can you do to help these people? Then just do it.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all..never,ever, give up!

Why do we waste our days away worrying about tomorrow? God provides food for the little sparrows, don’t you think He will provide food and help for those He created in His own image?

I spent too much time having pity parties that no one wanted to come to. I wallowed around in the muck and mire, drowning in my own thoughts of self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and even hopelessness.

I wasted too many days where I could have enjoyed life. I should have been praising God for each day instead of crying my eyes out for no reason.

That is behind me now. Why? because I cried out to God that I couldn’t take this rat race anymore, and He calmed me down right during that prayer. It was like He was saying, “It’s about time you came back to Me. Now let Me carry you the rest of the way.”

You don’t have to waste one more minute feeling down and out. Just pray to God for help, and He will show you the right path to see joy and happiness.

Yes, it may take a while. Wounds need time to heal, but if you keep up the faith and talk to God everyday like I do now, you will see a change in your life that will see you through the storms of life.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Are You Walking Aimlessly Through Life?

I have a book signing coming up on August 24th that runs for 11 straight days to September 3rd. It is at the Oregon State Fair, in Salem, Oregon. There is an author’s table in the AmeriCraft building, which was once called the Jackman-Long building. I will be there from 10:00am-9:00pm everyday. Come out and say hi if you live close.

Many of you have come by to say hi. Thank you for that. You also picked up some business cards. If you decide you would still like to buy a book, you can by just putting in the underlined or marked site I put on the card, and you will come to this site. Then just click on the Amazon.com icon on the right, and you can order the book, or order the eBook there.

Thoughts just for you..

As I sat watching hundreds of people walking by my author’s table, I could see stories there. Some people seemed lost. They were walking aimlessly. Others seemed to be on a mission. They couldn’t get where they were going fast enough.

Then there were the curious. They stopped by and asked me about my book. They looked at the title, “Signs of Hope.” They wanted to know what some signs of hope were. I told them about faith. I told them about never giving up. I shared with them that they were special, and that they had purpose in live.

That didn’t always sell a book, which would have been nice, but that isn’t my main purpose being at the State fair. The people left with a new look on their faces. They had hope. They seemed to have a new bounce in their feet.

Do you have that feeling of anxiety, fear, depression, self-doubt, or even hopelessness haunting you?

You need to know that you always have a friend with you. You have a heavenly Father who cares about you. He will see you through the muck and the mire. He will hold your hand during the storms of life you face.

Never assume no one cares.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up.
