<h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">WHAT SECRET LIES DOWN SQUASH BLOSSOM ROAD? </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Cowgirl Reba Cahill’s schedule is full. Save the family ranch. Free her mom from a mental institute. Solve a murder and kidnapping. Evade a stalker. Can she also squeeze in romance?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Reba Cahill focused on the duties of the ranch, along with her widowed grandmother. But a crippled Champ Runcie returns to Road’s End in a wheelchair and seeks revenge for the accident that put him there. He blames Reba's horse. Meanwhile, a letter from her estranged mom forces her and Grandma Pearl back on the road: <i>I can leave now. Come get me. Love, Mom</i></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When they arrive in Reno, her mother issues a demand and refuses to return to Idaho. They head west instead. In California, Reba’s friend Ginny’s marriage is on the rocks. The family business is threatened. And squabbles turn deadly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Reba digs deep to find the courage to forge a relationship with her mom and escape a crazed man’s obsession. She also hopes for a future with a horse trainer who offers her a new horse to replace the one she lost in the accident. But why does he have a photo of a pretty woman on his wall?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">NYTimes and USA Today Bestselling author Rachel Hauck said of Book 1, <i>Wind in the Wires:</i> “I love your voice! I love the setting...It’s a great story!” </span><br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The Turning </em>by Bestselling and Christy Award winning author Davis Bunn</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A voice. A message. Five dissimilar people. Thirteen days of high-stakes spiritual warfare.
A businessman with a speech impediment and a crucial report to give. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A heavy black gal choir director summoned to apologize to her prodigal sister.
A Sunday School teacher with a wasted nephew.
A wayward Chinese American woman with a proud heritage who humbly makes peace with her father. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A patchwork of characters with different backgrounds and motivations offer and accept apologies to make peace with the greatest source of conflicts in their lives. They bond to obey God’s call to restrain a rampantly exploding, diabolical lie.
Against all earthly logic, a divine command, and an unforeseen meeting results in a challenge to the cultural direction of the nation and wages war against the most powerful and influential industry in North America. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As each character responds to a single personal request, a new realm of moral responsibility and hope is unveiled. Then they face a media frenzy. How will they stand against the swelling powers of darkness and greed vying to crush their message of hope? Can they really hear the voice of God?

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">About the book </span><em style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Homestead:</em></h3>
<blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We were old enough to know better, yet still young enough to dream.” I wrote those words in 1984 as we prepared to leave suburbia and move to 160 acres of rattlesnake and rock along Oregon’s wild and scenic John Day River. While my husband, Jerry, had long hoped to make this transition to the land, I struggled with the leap of faith. My skills as a mental health professional would have little place on property seven miles from the mailbox and eleven miles from a paved road. For nearly five years, I resisted the move. But one day when I asked, “What will I do there?” a still, small voice said, “Trust. Go to the land and write.” </span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I considered starting a new series, I weighed ideas
that caught my interest. Though I often write about small towns, I wanted to try
something even more intimate and the idea of residence on the same street in a
small town. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I prefer using places I know, and though I had never been to Owosso,
Michigan, which is a small town, I made arrangements to visit there and had the
help of a wonderful woman who is responsible for the Chamber of Commerce and all
of the events found in this amazing small town.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The two day visit I made in Owosso sealed my excitement
about writing this story. I not only learned about the many interesting
community events in town but also in the adjacent two of Corunna. The cities
share many events and every season of the year brings back favorite activities
for the community. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Owosso has its own amazing castle built by an author named
James Oliver Curwood whose early 1900 novels were made into movies. He used the
castle has only for writing and lived in another home in the city. You can read
this blog post with photos of the real town of Owosso </span><a href="http://www.gailgaymermartin.com/2014/06/research-setting/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: small;">http://www.gailgaymermartin.com/2014/06/research-setting/</span></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>A Husband For Christmas</i></span></b><span style="font-size: small;">, released by Love Inspired in October, is the second novel in the Lilac
Circle Series. It is in stores now. Lilac Circle is the name of the cul-de-sac
street where the characters live. It is not the real name of the dead-end
street, but I took photos of the homes and layout so the things happen on an
image of real street. The first novel, </span><b><span style="font-size: small;"><i>A Mother To
Love</i></span></b><span style="font-size: small;"> was released in June 2015 and all the characters
appear again in other novels. </span></span></div>

<h2>
New Novel Release <i>Wind in the Wires </i>by Janet Chester Bly, Book 1, Trails of Reba Cahill</h2>
A cowgirl searches for love and family. An old man seeks justice. Their Ford Model T journey to Goldfield, Nevada exposes lies and betrayal. And two cold case murders. Will the truth be too hard for either to bear?<br />
<br />
It’s 1991. Reba Cahill loves ranching with her grandmother on the Camas Prairie of north-central Idaho. But there’s a lot of work for the two of them. She figures a rancher husband would ease the load. But she finds few prospects in the fictional small town of Road’s End.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Reba is also missing something else: her mother. Abandoned at three-years-old and never knowing her father, she feels a sense of longing and loss. And bitterness.<br />
<br />
When elderly, quirky Road’s End citizen Maidie Fortress dies, her uncle presents Reba with an expensive necklace that turns Reba’s world upside down. Dark family secrets lead her down an unexpected path and toward unsuspected admirers. But will the facts ruin any hopes for romance?<br />
<br />

A Sandy Cove Conference Center weekend for widows of all ages and at any point in the journey.</h2>
Being a widow is to be in a very lonely place.<br />

People say, "Isn't it wonderful he's with the Lord," and you want to yell, "No! He should be here with me."</blockquote>
Spend a weekend with other widows where you are with people who understand. Come share your heart and your hurt and be encouraged as we remind ourselves that, hard as it is, our God is able. Learn from women who are where you are, women who have weathered grief and difficult times.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I grew attached to the characters, and I found it entertaining and captivating! Gail does a superb job in writing this inspiring love story. You will not be disappointed, but blessed, if you read this love story of Lucy and Ron. <b>Reviewer: J. Smith</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Fairy tales are all about happily ever afters. I love Gail Gaymer Martin's fairy tale inspired story because the hea and the journey there is better than any fairy tale. Mrs. Martin's characters come to life and Lucy and Ron are much deeper than any fairy tale heroine or hero. It's a perfect story for the Christmas season or to read while sunning on the beach. <b>Reviewer: H. Harden “cowgirl”</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I absolutely loved this book. It was a sweet story about rediscovered love and redemption. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially Christians who will especially enjoy this tender story. <b>Reviewer: D. Lopatka</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I just love fairy tales! Don't you? Sweet story of romance and the happily ever after. I loved the characters and felt like Gail did a great job in creating them. I loved her love of the Lord showed throughout the book. This is a great Christian romance. Look forward to more by Gail Gaymer Martin. <b>Reviewer: Diana Montgomery</b></blockquote>

<h2>
Here’s a new book that uses both fiction and nonfiction to explore the life of Mary, Jesus’ mother, in a unique way. It’s called: WRESTLING WITH WONDER, a Transformational Journey through the Life of Mary</h2>
<h3>
HERE’S A BIT ABOUT Wrestling With Wonder: </h3>
You’ve never seen Mary, or her God, like this!<br />
Who is this God? Who is he who calls us to surrender and then leads us on a journey of twists and turns, ups and downs, unlike anything we could have ever expected? <br />
Who is this God who calls a young girl to birth a Savior and then watch him die on a Roman cross? <br />
Who is he who fulfills every promise and yet shatters every expectation?<br />
Come, join Mary, Jesus’ mother, on a journey of discovery.<br />
Hear the angel’s call, walk the long road to Bethlehem, give birth in a barn, search for a lost son, kneel at the foot of a cross, and experience the wind of the Spirit. <br />
Come, walk with Mary, and find your own journey in hers.<br />
<br />
Because life rarely turns out the way we planned...<br />
Because we lose the wonder in the disappointments of life ...<br />
Because being highly favored does not mean being highly pampered ...<br />
Because Mary shows us God -- Passionate, breath-taking, and unpredictable...<br />
<br />
<h4>
HERE’S A FUN NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR Marlo Schalesky:</h4>
While I was writing WRESTLING WITH WONDER, I had the opportunity to perform two monologues as Mary at my church, using material from my book. <br />
I thought it would be fun to share here one of those monologues...<br />
<br />
<h4>
Narration -- What Kind of King?</h4>
He was born. Born in a barn, wrapped in rags, laid in a feeding trough. No palace, no crib, no soft silk meant for a king. The animals were our witnesses. Lowly shepherds our first visitors. <br />
What kind of King is this?<br />
I held him in my arms. He nestled, and nuzzled. So normal. So real. He let out a cry, his mouth open, searching. I smiled and guided him to eat. He was strong, this newborn son of mine. Of God’s. This Messiah.<br />
I rolled the word over in my mind as I gazed down at his pink cheeks, his stock of curly black hair. His eyes were closed, his lashes dark against his skin.<br />
Messiah. Rescuer. Deliverer. Redeemer. King … Baby.<br />
What kind of King is this?<br />
He grew up, my Messiah-Son. And was nothing like I expected. He didn’t conquer Rome, he didn’t rule the nations, he didn’t raise an army or free Israel . . . at least not in the way I had dreamed.<br />
Instead, he asked me to face my deepest fear. My darkest doubt. My nightmare.<br />
A young man came to me in the night. He came disheveled and out of breath. Told me they had arrested my son. Men came—soldiers, crowds, but not only them, the priests came too. The leaders of my people. They came by night to a garden with clubs and torches and swords. And they took him.<br />
They took him to Gabbatha, the Stone Pavement. The place of judgment.<br />
<br />
I stood there, shaking, in a courtyard with a crowd. The noonday sun beat down on us, illuminating the stones, the people, the priests, Pilate, and my son, wavering on the platform before me. A glance stole my breath, constricted my heart. I barely recognized him. His eye was swollen, his clothes bloody. He looked like a lamb already slaughtered.<br />
What kind of King is this?<br />
He wore a purple robe, as if to mock him. And on his head ... Oh, Lord ... My soul shattered. <br />
On his head was a crown made of the thorns of the akanthos bush. Blood runs down his forehead, his cheeks.<br />
Akanthos, a symbol of my people’s shame ...<br />
Pilate held up his hand. “Behold your king!” he shouted.<br />
I covered my face, peeked through my fingers.<br />
“Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”<br />
For a moment, hope soared through me.<br />
And was crushed by a single word: “Barabbas!”<br />
Just days before the crowds welcomed him like David coming into his kingdom. They laid palm branches, they cried hosanna! They sang, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!” They threw down their coats so the colt’s hooves would not even touch the dirt.<br />
And I believed he rode in to claim his kingdom at last.<br />
But what kind of King is this?<br />
A king isn’t beaten.<br />
A king isn’t bloody.<br />
A king doesn’t die a criminal’s death.<br />
Or does He?<br />
Pilate spoke again. “What shall I do with this Jesus?” he cried.<br />
The question drove into me like a soul-piercing sword. It drove through me, became my own. What shall I do with this Jesus? What shall I do with a King destined to die?<br />
What shall I do with this kind of King?<br />

<h2>
Death Takes a Ride, The Cate Kincaid Files, by New York Times bestselling author Lorena McCourtney</h2>
<br />
It's official. This case is above her pay grade. Cate's in over her head.<br />
<br />
Date
Kinkaid arrives at H&B Vintage Auto Restoration to give a friend a
ride. But, as usual, trouble finds Cate even there. This time in the
form of one dead man, one wounded man, and what appears to be a pretty
obvious case of self-defense.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Despite having been
merely an unfortunate bystander, Cate finds herself sucked into the
case. And the deeper she gets, the more she begins to suspect the
shooting in the H&B office may not have been as cut-and-dried as it
appeared.<br />
<br />
Bestselling and award-winning author Lorena
McCourtney takes you on a wild ride in this clever cozy mystery that
will keep you guessing.<br />

<h3>
Excerpt from <i>Death Takes a Ride:</i></h3>
She spotted shadowy movement inside the front door, but Aunt Rebecca had said to go to a side door. Cate nosed the Honda around the far corner of the warehouse and stopped by a door with an Employees Only sign illuminated by a bare bulb overhead. She hesitated before turning off the engine.<br />
<br />
Maybe that sign should read Muggings-R-Us. She couldn't even see the front parking lot from around here. Bare metal showed through the old paint on this hidden side of the building. Weeds grew in a crack between the metal and the asphalt, and a pile of discarded tires out back looked as if if might harbor anything from murderous thugs to mutant rats. A bicycle leaned against the tires. Was that something moving beside it?<br />

<h2>
Let's Talk ... Praying Your Way to a Deeper Relationship with God</h2>
Bill Crowder<br />
<br />
<h3>
Book Blurb: </h3>
Why, in our times of deep spiritual and emotional turmoil, do we not turn to television pundits or to celebrities or to anyone else offering an opinion? Why do we pour out our souls to God in prayer? In Let's Talk, author and Bible teacher Bill Crowder reminds us that "Christ repeatedly retreated to the invisible presence of the Father."<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Examining the significance of prayer in the lives of believers, this straightforward book encourages us to make prayer a priority. In its pages, we can find fresh viewpoints on the extraordinary privilege of prayer that present a clearer picture of who God is and why prayer is a vital part of an ongoing pursuit of a closer walk with God.<br />
<h4>
Let's Talk offers six perspectives on prayer: </h4>
1) dependence because we need God desperately<br />
2) rest in the hard work that is life <br />
3) acceptance in whatever the outcome might be <br />
4) intercession always in every opportunity for all<br />
5) mystery in God's sovereignty, yet our prayers matter<br />
6) confidence when torn between faith and doubt, belief and unbelief<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of my favorite gems of wisdom I’ve attempted to pass on
to our children is that life gives you second chances. And sometimes even third
and fourth chances.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s certainly true in the case of books in this age of
electronic publishing. And my Lord Danvers Victorian true-crime series is a
case in point. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I began the series in 1993— wow, that’s 20 years ago!— with <i>A
Most Inconvenient Death, </i>telling the story of the shattering events of the
Stanfield Hall murders through the eyes of an eccentric nobleman grieving the
death of his fiancé.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, this was published in print. That’s all there was
20 years ago. Remember the days?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In <i>Grave Matters</i> I told the story of body-snatchers Burke
and Hare when Danvers and his new love Lady Antonia went to Edinburgh on their
honeymoon— in a hot air balloon, no less.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>To Dust You Shall Return </i>followed with problems in their
marriage and the Catherine Bacon murder leading to a chase scene over the
rooftop of Canterbury Cathedral.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And that, it seemed, was that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until life gave me— and Lord
Danvers— a second chance with those wonderful, newfangled ebooks when
Greenbrier Books returned the series to life with glorious new covers. The
series was phenomenally successful, making the top 100 on lots of lists for
months. At one time Danvers sat, with an amused grin on his face, between P. D.
James and Harlan Coben.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And then in A Tincture of Murder an all-new adventure took
Charles and Antonia to Victorian York where William Dove, the notorious
"Leeds Poisoner" is on trial for murdering his wife. Dove can’t be
the one poisoning the fallen women at the Magdalen Asylum run by Danvers’ young
priest brother. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So who is? Is another madman stalking the streets of York? And
what is causing the foul stench at the orphans’ school?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All that’s a fine example for my "second chances"
poster. But now there’s more. A third chance? Greenbrier is bringing the series
out in print. Yes, the old-fashioned, hold-in-your-hand, put-on-a shelf,
made-of-paper kind of book that many of us are finding we really do prefer, in
spite of the amazing convenience of electronic readers. And Danvers, the
ultimate Victorian gentleman would be pleased. Queen Victoria’s sentiments
aside, he might even be amused.</div>

About Author Gail Gaymer Martin:</h3>
<div>
Looking back after I’ve been blessed as a multi-award-winning
author of over fifty novels and 3-1/2 million books in print, I realize I
was a slow starter. When I was in the third grade, my teacher wrote a
prophetic message on my report card, “Gail is an excellent writer.”
Today I realize she recognized a talent that took me fifty years to
recognize.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Now a published novelist and freelance writer, I look back on my
early writing and chuckle. As a pre-teen, I wrote a series of Nancy
Drew-type mysteries, and in my teen years, I wrote romances — but not
knowing romance needed a happy ending, I often did things like kill the
heroine at the end of the story. Needless to say, my first attempts at
romance failed.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Writing is my ministry. From reader letters, I know that Christian
stories touch the hearts of readers and make a difference in their
lives. I am blessed to be among other Christian writers around the
world. Writing romance and romantic suspense combines elements I
love—romance, suspense, and my love for the Lord. </div>

Excerpt from western romance novel Creede of Old Montana by Stephen Bly:</h2>
<div>
"Where are we going?"</div>
<div>
Avery yanked a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to his nephew Ace.</div>
<div>
"A telegram? Who from?"</div>
<div>
"Read it while I check the riggin' on the team."</div>
<div>
"'Wanted for cattle rustling: Curly Buck Clamer and King Snake DuPrix. If seen, notify me at once. U.S. Marshal Kib McCoy, Lewistown, M.T.' What do we have to do with a couple cattle rustlers?"<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div>
"Nothin'. But it shows that there's a U.S. Marshal in Lewistown. We'll take Rinkmann there. This trail should cross the river and swing around to the road to Lewistown and on to Billings."</div>
<div>
Ace folded the telegram and handed it back to Avery. "But that road will take us back into Rinkmann territory. No one would be foolish enough to take that road."</div>
<div>
"That's what I'm hopin' they think." Avery climbed back into the wagon seat. "Scoot over. You're drivin'."</div>
<div>
"What? You never let me drive."</div>
<div>
"This is the first time we've been in a wagon together. What do you mean, I never let you drive? The doc gave me something to kill the pain while he sewed up my arm. It made me sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. You up to it?"</div>
<div>
"Yes, sir. I can do it."</div>
<div>
"Wake me up if you see someone headed our way. Are you sleepy?"</div>
<div>
"Nope. I've got some ponderin' to do."</div>
<div>
"About a lady?"</div>
<div>
"Yep."</div>

They armed with Winchesters and spread along the town's one street and opened fire. At the end of the gunfight, both Longhair and Rattlesnake lay dead. One took nine bullets, the other eleven. They died in front of an itinerant photographer's tent. He took pictures of the deceased rustlers and sold them for a tidy profit. </div>

What others say about Stephen Bly western novels:</h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"One hallmark of Stephen Bly's classic westerns is that
they are complete. Bly gives you the full experience, every detail, evoking a
period he has mastered." -- Jerry B. Jenkins, New York Times bestselling
author, <i>The Left Behind Series, Riven, I, Saul<br /><o:p></o:p></i><br />"Bly does a lot of things right for lovers of the
traditional western ... (he) clearly knows the country he writes about: the
difference between pinion pines and chaparral, what the weather will do, how
horses tire. He knows about guns and seems to have thoroughly researched the
behavior of Indian war parties." -- <i>Booklist<o:p></o:p></i></blockquote>

Excerpt from Christmas western novel, <i>Hard Winter at
Broken Arrow Crossing:</i><i> </i></h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Sometime before darkness or death, Stuart Brannon had to
find Broken Arrow Crossing. He considered tying the bandana around his left
hand. The numb, bare flesh of three fingers stuck out from the stiff, worn
leather glove. But his nose and ears felt worse. The sharp pain stage had
ceased hours before, and now a dull, mind-deadening throb signaled real
trouble.<br /><br />Jerking the red bandana over his face, Brannon attempted to
keep the blowing snow from slicing into his skin. His eyes, frost-covered and
nearly frozen shut, strained to scout the blizzard for a trail.<br /><br />With black hat tilted low, he saw very little. Brannon's
right hand jammed deep into a coat pocket. His left hand encircled the slim
horn of the Visalia saddle. The reins laced through the second and third
fingers. That much he could see, but couldn't feel.<br /><br />Sage plodded through the Colorado winter. The white blaze on
his black nose pointed down. The howl of the storm muffled any other noise. The
horse, the rider crept through the lifeless forest. Alone.</blockquote>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Worry Can’t Change Others </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">by Kathy Collard Miller</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span></h3>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">There’s something deep inside of us that
believes worry can change others. If someone we love has a different
perspective than we do, we worry. If someone we love has a different belief
about God, we worry. If someone we love has a character flaw, we worry. We just
know their wrong thinking will mess up their lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Some of these worries may truly seem “worthy” of
worry. Your mother may not know Christ as her Savior, and she has cancer. Your
son may be on the street taking drugs. Your friend may demonstrate a lack of
integrity at work. Another friend drives while intoxicated. You may have tried
to reason, cajole, quote Scripture, even manipulate each person into changing
their ideas and their behavior, but nothing has worked—not even prayer. God
hasn’t changed them either. You fear something bad, really bad, is going to
happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Even if it’s not a matter of something really
bad occurring, we can easily take responsibility for someone else’s happiness
and then try to change them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A verse that has helped me in releasing that
worry is: “Let us therefore, as many as
are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different
attitude, God will reveal that also to you” (Philippians 3:15 NASB). If God has
the ability to give you and me a different attitude, He can do it for anyone.
He is powerful and creative. When we worry or feel like we have to change
someone’s ideas, we are saying, “God, you aren’t effective enough. You aren’t
creative enough to work in this person’s life. I’ve got to do it myself.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">When I think of how God creatively worked in our
daughter Darcy’s life, I sense the tears coming. Darcy went to Denmark for a
semester of college and requested to live in the home of a Danish family. At
that time, Darcy was friendly with us, but distant emotionally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">But while in Denmark, our phone calls soon were
centered on how badly her Danish “mother” was treating her— ignoring her and
saying mean things to her. Larry and I were incensed, as most parents would be,
and I began to worry about my daughter’s emotional health. Then my worry fueled
anger toward this woman who had no right to treat my daughter like that. We
suggested Darcy move to on-campus housing, but she wanted to stick it out.
Since we couldn’t afford to go visit her (I would have loved to give that woman
a piece of my mind), I had to stew over it … in the beginning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Then I saw God’s work in Darcy’s life. Because
of her circumstances, she began to appreciate our family as she never had before.
In comparison to the way her Danish family treated her, we were looking pretty
good. In fact, fabulous. I’d never heard as much love and warmth in Darcy’s
voice as when we talked with her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Shortly before she returned home, she sent a
Christmas card and wrote in it: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Dear
Dad, Mom, and Mark: Since I can’t be there with you for Christmas, I’m writing
to tell you how much I’ll miss not being there and how much I love you all.
Being away has really made me realize how awesome a family you are. I love and
appreciate all of you so much! I can’t wait to come home to see you all. Give
my love to the rest of the family. I’ll be seeing you on January 6. Love,
Darcy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="PreformattedText" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">That was in 1994. After Darcy returned,
her appreciation for our family continued to rise to great heights, and it all
started with something I was worried about. It’s every mother’s longing to have
her child value their family. But in our case, God accomplished this through
mistreatment, something I would have changed if I could. But if I had, the good
results God intended would not have occurred. Even today, when we talk about
that situation, Darcy remarks, “Oh, yes, God really used that in my life.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We don’t want to thwart God’s changes in those we
love, do we? We need to make sure worry doesn’t prevent His work. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Let’s live
