Happy New Year a month late. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and the month of January.

I had a great week of writing at a friend's farm in Tennessee, as well as a good time of connecting and reconnecting at the CBA Expo in Nashville.

Nav Press approached me to possibly do a YA series for them. I've always thought it would be fun to write for a younger audience as well, so I'd appreciate your prayers that God would show us what to do.

December and January are always tough for me depression-wise which is why I haven't posted much, but I feel the days lengthening and hope in the air. Will has been great in getting up in the mornings and getting the kids ready. I'm so thankful for him.

I need to really get going on my first novel for WestBow--Quaker Summer. It's about halfway through the first draft, but I need to start stepping on the gas. Pray the motivation comes on strongly. I so need your prayers in this way.

A great non-fiction opportunity is in the works for me and for Will and I together. Community and justice driven works which could just be wonderful kingdom projects. Pray for us as these things develop.

Gwynnie has a Dr. appt. on Fri. with a new pediatrician. Pray we can get to the bottom of her migraines and maybe even get some directions for her ADHD. She has such anxiety about school it brings on physical headaches and sickness at times. We're probably going to homeschool her next year too, so your prayers about that are greatly appreciated.

Life feels good right now. I've been doing "The Overachievers Bible Reading Plan" and have experienced some real spiritual peace as a result. Funny how that works, eh?

I so appreciate you all!!

love, lisa
