Five Minute Friday
Release

My hands clench.  My breath comes in spurts.  Pressure pushed on my chest.  Hard.  I look down at clenched hands and wonder, why?  What or who is chasing me?  FEAR.

Fear follows me, my constant companion.  Am I good enough?  Will I do this right?  What if I mess up?  What if I fail?  What if something goes wrong?  

And it will.  Things do wrong.  Sometimes I mess up.  I fail.  

But, more often than not, fear is the taunter that never measures up.  He tells me the worst and sometimes the best happens.  He tells me people won’t forgive and they will.  He tells me God doesn’t love me and He does.  He tells me that God will leave me and He doesn’t.  God will not relax His hold on me, assuredly not.  

Why do I listen to fear?  Why do I let him suck the life breath out of me?  It it a habit?  Is he my idol?  I didn’t used to think that the master spirit could be my idol but in order to to move forward I must RELEASE old habits and ideas.

Ten Reasons NOT to Adopt or Bring New Converts into the Church Part III
hi, I’m Kathleen Guire Just a little bit more about me! I’ve wanted to be an author since I was a little girl, making up songs on the swing set at an army base in Denver, Colorado. My journey as a fiction author began in a Barnes and Noble bookstore with a friend and her tween daughter. The young girl was searching for a book she could read, but everything she picked up was either inappropriate, filled with curse words, or contained explicit sexual content. As a Christian mom of seven kids, I understand the struggle. Finding books with Christian themes that are both wholesome and engaging is tough. Library and bookstore trips can quickly become frustrating. My friend’s tween’s disappointment at not finding something suitable was all too familiar to me. I took action and wrote my first fiction book, aiming to create stories that are clean, moral, and filled with unexpected plot twists. Since then, I’ve continued writing because I believe every tween, teen, YA, and mom should have access to clean thrillers and mysteries. My books blend wholesome content, moral values, and intriguing plots, addressing culturally relevant topics without compromising on quality or integrity.
