    so far has he removed our transgressions from us..."

How did your outlook change?

Waiting for the miracle of life...

Praying for a missing loved one...

When life gives you lemons...make lemonade!

My goal is to embrace the change and unexpected...I might not always succeed but thankfully, tomorrow will provide the opportunity to try again! 
Do you embrace or complain?
Do you have a strategy that helps you when life happens?

Have you added a scoop of Omni to your life?
I hope so…what is the first scoop you read today?

I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart that
I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:10-11

...and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness, 
so that the servant of God may be
thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:15-17

With each scoop of Oxi Clean added, our clothes are brighter...
With each Bible verse read, our lives are brighter...
Oxi Clean a chemical additive, Jesus is all natural and eternal!

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.  If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:26-29

I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit     or a bride with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10 NLT Now if we are children, then we are heirs heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8;17

Reflect on being a child of God...the One True King!

About the book...

Take a moment to leave a comment of encouragement
for this brave and talented young author!

Releases This Week Encourage Others: One Day at a Time is more than a book, it's an organizational tool. I am blessed with memories of my mom, Gram, aunts, and great-aunts making notes on their calendars for births, deaths, anniversaries, and other special dates. Over the years I've tried to carry on this priceless tradition - to encourage others in times of joy and sorrow. At first I used a calendar, copying the information over from year to year. Then I switched to an index card organizational. Neither seemed to work for me. Hence the reason for this book - this is my attempt to carry on the tradition inspired by the matriarchs of my family... To Encourage Others, One Day at a Time

Where's Heidi? One Sister's Journey is one sister's journey after the kidnapping of her only sister, Heidi M Allen. I wrote this book to share hope and healing with others grieving the loss of a sibling. Although I received contract offers to publish this book, I decided to self publish in order to maintain the release date of my choice, April 3. On 4/3/1994 my sister Heidi disappeared and so did my faith and hope for the future. On 4/3/2013, this book released on the 19th anniversary of Heidi's kidnapping to share the hope, healing, and strength available to the hurting through a relationship with Jesus.

When the Waves Subside: There is Hope was only meant to be an anniversary gift for my parents. After they shared their gift with others, they heard, "Where can I get a copy?" It was their decision to make the book available to the public.  The response to this book is both overwhelming and encouraging at the same time. Since its release I changed the back's write-up to dedicate the book for any grieving parent, not just the parent of a missing child because of the response from parent's living life without their precious child. The premise of When the Waves Subside is the beauty and strength of a parent missing their son or daughter. Similar to the broken glass beaten by the waves, they come out of the water stronger and more beautiful because of the journey, "sea glass" or "glass rocks" ~ not broken anymore.
