Guest Post: I Will Miss the Mountains

by Bethany Beams

I am thrilled to welcome Sarah Frazer to encourage us with a guest post today! Her new devotional, Coming Home: Finding God as Our Dwelling Place, is available now. One of the best parts of my state is the change of seasons. Each season is so distinct, unique and beautiful in its own way. West Virginia is not portrayed accurately in politics, history, social media, news, or Hollywood. (Is any state rightly represented, though?) I’ve always been proud to be from West Virginia (not western Virginia – we are a separate state). Neither North or South, we find ourselves in-between.

When It’s Hard to Let Your Guard Down

by Micah Maddox

Book launches are a whirlwind of hashtags and giveaways! It’s crazy what our culture has come to. No longer do we call each other on the phone and chat about what happened last week. Now we see it in real time. It’s amazing, yet I think we lose something special in the process. We lose that personal connection of hearing each other’s voice. We lose the anticipation of waiting for a phone call or looking at pictures together in an album. Now with the click of a mouse I see what you are up to and you see what I’m

Anchored In Is Here, Along with a Giveaway!

by Micah Maddox

It’s been a journey up to this point and I’m praying it continues to be more of the same. For the past two years God has prompted my heart to put words on a page: not just any words, but words filled with His power. I don’t share this to try to prove to you that my book is more than it really is, but just to encourage you that God has a purpose for every single one of us. Even if Anchored In had never been published, God used the words within its pages to change me. He gave

When My Life Is Full of Problems

by Micah Maddox

“Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day.” “When it rains, it pours.” We’ve all been there drenched in life’s troubles. The waters rise and we think we can’t take one more thing and then, WHOOSH! In rolls the tide. It’s just the way it goes sometimes. We’ve been in a season like this over the past year. Just as soon as we thought things would slow down and get easier, life seemed to kick into high gear and rather than slowing down, I found myself running at full speed in a direction I never really imagined. Our problems won’t

Is God’s Power for Me?

by Micah Maddox

When I didn’t make the cut, I thought surely God must have completely forgotten I wanted the part in the first place. I thought this was finally my chance to shine for Him, but the rejection of the chorus leader was proof that I didn’t have what it takes. I wondered why God led me to try out in the first place. I questioned why I ever had that desire in my heart at all. I thought God had turned His back on me and left me to dry my own tears with my own trembling hands. There I stood,

How to Get Published

by Micah Maddox

I’m no expert. Let’s just get that out there. Somehow I have managed to get myself published in the real world of writing. I’ll be honest: I’m still in shock! I cannot give you a step-by-step plan, but there are several people out there who can. If you are looking for a “how-to” you can find it and usually pay a little money to get some really great ideas on how to get noticed in the publishing industry. Just Google it. My journey isn’t so much about industry as it is about helping people know that God has a plan
