@Susan super encouraging Thankyou.
I agree - numbers aren't the goal here! I just want people to know that no matter what they are going through, whoever they are, irrespective of what they have done, there is a hope that can overcome all of those things.
Your prayers are very much in line with prayers from another faithful sister!!
I'm overwhelmed by your kind comments, and encouragement.
Thank you

Hello Andy, Once again, praising the Lord for bringing this book to completion and for His Glory!!! It is no coincidence that you have written this book for the hour in which we live! In response to your message, may I remind you of what you already know well, that the Lord gave you the rich life experience as well as the words and the vision for this book to reach, encourage, strengthen and transform many hearts and souls with the Hope of Glory that is found only in Christ Jesus our Lord! And so, I pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare the minds and hearts of those whom He will reach through this book. I pray that it will have exponential outreach in transforming souls for the Kingdom of God. We don't need large selling numbers (I hope you agree) we need transformed hearts and lives, one by one, beginning with us.
Congratulations once again on the book's completion! I am excited for how the Lord will use it to transform many hearts and bring glory to His name!!!
@Susan Hiya Susan, I was reading your comment, game back to it, and it had disappeared...it was one about praying for my book...
@tanjaostman these are beautiful words!

@tymektt oh this is so good😂

@Susan thanks so much. I'll be honest, I'm feeling super excited and super worried all at the same time - will anybody buy it, or like, or read it?
So thrilled to have done this, and got this far. It's definitely something new I've done!!
Https://www.berrybunch.family/books/ is the best place
These are wise words on the reason why we pray - from my good friend Andy Brown, and his brilliant book "A Journey With Jesus - 40 Day Devotional".
A great way to make sure I don't jump too fast into a busy day is to take some time out, first! Wisdom I learned a long time ago - because the busiest days need gaps for air!!!

I saw that earlier too... interesting how those citing free speech and inclusivity are the most bigoted and least accepting of someone else's beliefs

So I did a thing !
I clicked the publish button for my first book...which means the eBook will be available for pre-order within the next 72 hours.
Both the paperback version, and eBook version, will be published - on Amazon from Friday 25th March.
Feeling both nervous and excited for my new little baby - Broken Dreams, and Hope!

I read this quote by Vlad Savshuk randomly on YouTube and thought it was very good:
"A person can be affected by the power of God (resulting in amazing experiences), but not surrendered to the power of God, which results in a changed life. King Saul is a perfect example of that."

A picture of Finnish soldiers on skis, with Russian soldiers that are captives, during the Winter War (WWII). @sinbach told about these swift soldiers on skis, on a BTJ podcast episode. He's not the only one who has compared the war in Ukraine, with the Finnish Winter War. Stalin believed Finland would be overtaken in less than 2 weeks, but Finland showed unexpected resitance (just like Ukraine). We stayed independent.
Endurance: Down But Not Out
Explore with us what it means to be down but not out, in this our fourth episode of season four - Down, But Not Out
#GoDeeper
Andy B opens up this week’s theme, “Down, But Not Out”, by first reminding us of the fact that everyone has had an experience of being down, but not out.
He unpacks this week’s Scripture verses, Matthew 11:28-30, by explaining what a yoke is in the context of these verses and further explaining its value, as in how oxen are trained using a yoke. In addition, he provides real-life examples of people learning vital skills using the same idea as that of a yoke.
#GoDo
Steven and Nathan discuss being ‘Down, But Not Out’. They share a useful three-step plan for dealing with unexpected problems, with Nathan ‘helpfully’ providing some synonymous idioms. [READ MORE]

Marriage Matters, Highs and Lows, 25th Anniversary Special, Season 1, Episode 9
In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo talk about the highs and lows of their own marriage after 25 years.
As always, Andy B steers the episode with scripture, when Jesus spoke about his yoke being easy and his burden being light. Perhaps an unusual choice, but Andy B links this to couples and the need for them to stick together:
- Matthew 11:28-30
Andy B and Jo take us on a journey through the seasons of marriage, for example the honeymoon period, setting up home, having children and different jobs and places that affect our lives together, bringing us our ups and downs or as Andy B and Jo prefer to say – ‘Highs & Lows’.
Join Andy B & Jo and reflect on your own highs and lows and how you can stick together through them.

@sinbach 😂
Let me try another way.
In the Falklands, not long after the British had retaken the islands, a journalist got annoyed at a plane flying low overhead and the very loud noise it made - interrupting his interview with an islander.
He asked, pointedly, how badly that noise annoyed the woman.
She simply replied that that noise was the sound of freedom!
If we don't exercise our freedom, we lose it - even if it still stays legal.
I always think of syntax as a computer term...shows how English I am 🤣

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Dusting, Cleaning and Resting, Season 4, Episode 50
Today is a good day! We’ve got two loads of washing on our washing line blowing in the gentle breeze and sun. As a stat at home dad, this makes Andy B very happy!
Inside the home, the hoover has been finally repaired and the carpets have been thoroughly gone over. As has the stairs, and lots of dusting has happened too.
In our homes, and in our Spiritual lives we need lots of maintenance. Dirt and dust appear no matter what we do, especially if you use a wood burning stove a lot!
In our walks with Jesus Christ dirt and dust constantly appears too, blocking our ability to see God, and who He is. [READ MORE]

@sinbach freedom without action to enjoy that freedom just isn't freedom at all...
@sarikorpi lol
Yep. God made cows. To eat and pooh. It's all a part of creation.
Although I now want a beef burger!!
@Cherishingsparrows2020 amen my sister. amen!! And you're very welcome.
Sitting here marking some work from one of my boy's home education books, with birds chirping in the tiny orchard outside the window.
Yes, indeed, we need to apprrciate and celebrate the details of God's handiwork.
Totally with you on enjoying the things we can like drying washing on a line!
I'm very conscious tha not everybody can enjoy that.
