This topic might be my all time favorite. I wish I could spend days talking about this.

It's been something the Lord has continually spoken over my heart. He is often found in the quiet and the stillness and I hope this poem blesses you on this last day of the
#anneofgreengablesfall challenge.

Do you enjoy simple little pleasures? What's a memory you have tied to something small and seemingly insignificant?

This might be the most swoon-worthy quote from Anne of Green Gables. The promise, the heart, the realization of the true meaning of where we place value puts my heart in a spin.

The quote is more than Anne being romantic. It's her realizing that her romantic notions were nothing compared to real love when it was experienced. Her looking and striving and trying to make her perfect life was nothing in comparison to the beauty of what God had already placed right in front of her.

Fairytales, sunbursts, and marble halls are all well and good, but there is something infinitely more precious about the little, quiet, unassuming joys right in front of our faces.

We grow up so often inundated with the culture of "the grass is always greener on the other side" But how often do we forget the quiet moments, the relationships that are day to day, and the joys set before us?

But while we don't forget to take joy in the things around us, don't forget to hold onto hope.

Our God is one of good gifts stored up for his children. Of loving us more than we could ever imagine. Of preparing a path and a place for us far beyond anything we could ask or think or imagine.

His love for us is greater, deeper, farther, stronger, fuller and long-lasting than we could ever expect.

I pray that each of you know that. That no matter the glory and beauty of sunbursts and marble halls, you never forget His love for you.

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Eph. 3:17-19

I love Anne's perspective because trees truly do feel like friends to me.

steadfast, roots running deep.
you hold fast in any storm.

you remember what truly matters,
sending roots down far.
before you let your branches grow
reaching out tall and far.

like building a foundation
on Christ the solid rock
you hold in storm or flood

you bend and sway
with the changing of the wind
moving and flexible in any season
dropping your burdens,
as to the ground your leaves you send.

You tap into streams
of living water
holding your nourishment,
ready for drought.

winds, rain and storms,
shake and tremble,
but no matter the weight
your roots hold
your heart stays strong

because you're rooted deep
your life springing from within,
healing and regeneration is in your branches
new life springing forth.

life, vibrant, green and golden
power, quiet and understated.
strength, hidden and still,

the years roll by but you remain the same,
ever growing, ever the same, ever changing.

oh, beautiful trees!
I love everyone as a friend.

Am I the only one who packs books like it's a security blanket?

What if I change my mind?

What I I wanted something else?

What if my mood changes and I want to read a thrilled instead of a cottage-core comfort read?

There's no accounting for tastes... Mine specifically when I actually have time on my hands to read.

Who else packs a million and one books on trips? Bookworms unite!

I LOVE moving water.

Beach. Yes please.

A babbling brook or creek? I will disappear outside for hours simply to sit and listen.

I find if SO INTERESTING that the sounds the good Lord made always bring so much peace.

Have you ever heard "Ugh, I can't stand the sound of the waves, they stress me out." or "I wish the creek would be silent, I can't stand that constant droning."

Yeah, me either. 🤣

In total, it reminds me that God, in His infinite wisdom, knows exactly what He's doing. If all of creation sings HIs glory and His existence, then it makes me smile to think of the babbling brook rippling over rocks and leaves, the trees clattering in the breeze, the birds singing their songs, and he wind whistling over rocks and crevices all sing His praise.

What a beautiful thought.

Writing the Chronicles of Elira has brought a passion forward that I always knew was there, but that I get to taste and experience in a new way. Each of the books settings is heavily influenced by the natural settings. Mountains, forests, villages built snugly into them...

There is something so beautiful about how nature mirrors our King, but how it also can mirror the way we are made in His image. I love that our souls respond and recognize our Father in the way the world moves around us, subconsciously sees His hand, feels His presence, and hear His voice.

"and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters." Rev. 1:15

I think when we get to heaven we may recognize His voice immediately. Can you imagine? Every time we hear rushing water, that's a tiny taste of what He will sound like.

Nature is full of wonder for me. Wonder in a presence many forget is there. And I would prefer it any day to the sounds of our manmade world.

The world has enough books filled with spice (which is basically p*rn, and you can't tell me different) dark, discouraging, demonic themes and more.

I don't need to contribute to that in order to sell books. And neither do you.

There is an entire forgotten audience of believers who are looking for books that go past the surface and speak deeply to our hearts of the topics we need to hear. Books that speak truth into a world filled with lies. Bring hope when we are dying of discouragement.

Us readers who want to be challenged, encouraged, and grow in our faith are looking for these types of books.

I've been FLABBERGASTED this past year to find that there are SO MANY people who don't want the same old, secular stories that are coated in candy wrapping.

They want the gritty stories of believers fighting for what's right. Being challenged to grow deeper in their faith. Stories that are GOOD without having to skip pages of sensuality, language, or toxic relationships.

The world needs to see the light of Christ in stories again. So no, I won't be adding spice and sensuality into my books and I won't stop writing deep Christian themes.

And I certainly won't be sacrificing a powerfully written story to do so.

What about you? Does this resonate with you as a reader? What books were a powerful force in your life?
