Happy Day Reader!

Book news. I'm neck-deep in the revision of Vega's story (Me, Myself, and IT). Oh boy! I absolutely love the ending. I can't wait to share it with you. Really, truly. I can't wait for this to be ready to send out.

A word of encouragement.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:18–19, ESV)

Are you in a difficult situation, afraid to move forward? If so, do it with the thought that it's a gift to God.

Failure or success is for him alone. Living in the awareness that we are before His throne, we will set aside the worry of failure.

Wiht the love of God in mind, we cannot fear anything in this world--and our terror of God turns to a reverent love of Him-in-all-His-glory. He is FOR US, on our side!

Our gift-act for him then morphs into a gift-of-love for others with the prayer: "May my life be used for Your glory." Soli Deo Gloria.

I hope you have a fantastic week.

God bless you!

Darlene

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Sound of the Sirens Yesterday our family went on an Odyssey cruise. As you most likely know, I live in Izmir Turkey, and we live about 30 minutes away from the islands that gave both Odysseus and St. Paul all sorts of trouble. We cruised on a large tour boat, sailing around from sea cove to sea cove, where we dove in and swam in the Aegean sea. Sigh. So refreshing here mid-summer! One of our stops were the Siren Rocks....

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories When to Quit. Vera Morales (from the Return to Me book 2) reminds me that it's easy to give up. Even when we have a great vision for what we want for our lives, sometimes we reach the tipping point where throwing in the towel seems so much more preferable. But in Vera's Story, though she's an optimist, life situations just gets to be too much for her. Some countries encourage suicide in hopeless situations. There's a case...

The woman...
