y’all! it’s almost march 3rd, 2020! I only have had the date, march 3rd, on my mind for the day my book comes out, not 2020. when I was talking about my word for 2020 I realized, whoa, my book comes out in a new decade. and, most of the devotions were written from my life experiences in the previous decade.
for years I heard, you should write a book and I would say, “yes, I want to!” or, “ya, ya, ya, I know.” of course, the thought of writing my story down seemed overwhelming, and not what God had in mind. I had been doodling downloads from God for a long time, and they inspired this book. take the doodle, and then write the devotion to go alongside it, and throw in some sweet and savory recipes. my word for 2019 was, still. and, I struggled with being still. I saw productivity as doing physical things or actual deeds, I didn’t see being still with Jesus as being productive or that writing a book was even productive. I signed my contract with the publisher in November of 2018 and thought, “i’ve got plenty of time, it’s only 52 devotions. if I write this many per day i’ll be done in no time at all!” well, June 1st of 2019, the deadline, was looming and God had to put me down, like nearly break my ankle, for me to be still. I started writing from that point on. I went away, and would write in quiet places, where there weren’t daily deeds that I felt I had to do. There were times that I don’t remember what I wrote, because I didn’t write the words, God truly used me as a vessel for the words. These words are written from my heart, the stories where God gave grace upon grace, and reconciled my soul. Of course pie has been a common denominator in most of my relationships, and stories, so we had to throw some recipes in too!
I hope that this book meets you exactly where you are on your walk and brings you closer to Jesus. That it reminds you that you have done such hard things, that you can do hard things, that you can set boundaries, that you can love anyways. I want it to be a book that daily reminds you of how our Father loves you, sees you and created you on purpose. You are so loved. There is nothing you can do to change His love for you.
