Especially For You

Circumstances and relationships can take over our lives, and destroy our self esteem. It is easy to fall prey to self destruction. When you feel as though no one really cares, and you have to face these situations alone, just know that you are not alone.

"(Now) we have this (hope) as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul – it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it – (a hope) that reaches farther and enters into (the very certainty of the Presence) within the veil. Where Jesus has entered in for us (in advance), a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek" (Hebrews 6:19-20, AMP).

You may have no more faith; you may even feel there is no longer any hope left, but at a moment when the only answer appears to be to end it all...God can supernaturally place a tiny light at the end of that very dark, fearful corridor you are in and touch your spirit with a new light and revelation of Himself that will turn that dark hopelessness within you into a growing light of his truth, love, healing, strength and restoration of your own self-worth.
Will you trust Him for this ?

Jesus, our Heavenly Father is always near, and ready to come to your rescue.
Pray this prayer and be comforted.
Heavenly Father, I surrender all my failings, discouragements, fear and negative thoughts to You. I have only proven that in my own strength I cannot go on. I ask You to cleanse me, forgive me, and touch my spirit with a new hope. I release myself to You right now – every area of my life – and ask You to turn my life around, step by step. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Interview With Grace Reddick

What discipline do you impose on yourself regarding schedules, goals, etc.?
I must admit, I fall short here. I would love to spend all day, every day writing, but unfortunately there is life outside my office. I'm working on two books, so I have to divide my time, what little of it there is. Devoting several hours a day is my goal.


What do you recommend I do with all those things I wrote years ago but have never been able to bring myself to show anyone?
If you have a passion for what you have written, it should be treasured. I have never discarded anything. Sure, the style may have changed, but the story remains the same. The book, "Ashley's Unforgettable Summer," is a story I wrote many years ago while my two girls were young children. I say, go for it.
