Publishing Success & More!

Musings Along Life’s Journey

My second publishing of Musings Along Life’s Journey is live on Amazon! Just type in the title, and you can select Kindle, paperback, or hardcover. You will notice that all three have different covers? Mark that down as me being a newbe with KDP and their Cover Creator. Oh, right now, there is a discount on the Kindle version. I may reduce the price more when this first promotion ends. Yes, it’s also part of Kindle Unlimited.

This publishing journey has been a complicated process for me. Currently, I’m working with Ficere Writing Solutions and ACX to finish my audiobook, so keep an eye out for it on Amazon. My next book will be about this journey and how God has blessed it and brought glory out of it. Can anybody say: Testimony Time?! [The book story]

What an awesome day yesterday! It was Baptism Sunday at ACF Church. The Spirit was moving, prompting several of us to renew our batismal surrender. I realize it’s been exactly 40 years since I was born again. Now that I’m 60, I am ready to start anew. This first publishing journey is coming to an end, and I’m poised to proceed with the next phase of the LORD’S plans for me.

Pastor Josh never got to his sermon for the day, but the worship team accompanied what was going on, and the joy in the house was palpable. Souls were stirred throughout the congregation, and I’m not sure what the final total of baptisms was. Not all were repeats. We had several first-timers, including a couple of youngsters!

The Spirit has been speaking to me, “Lay it all down, lay it all down, lay it all down!” For a couple of weeks. The past few days have been, “Washed in the water, washed in the water, rise up in amazing grace!” Let’s go down to the river and surrender to our Lord, Jesus. (Or to the baptismal tank)

In baptism, we identify with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Keep following me as I follow Jesus. Exciting days are ahead!

Moving on!

Shana Tova! The day of atonement and the feast of trumpets on the Jewish calendar are happening this week. Time to enjoy apples dipped in honey again! Thanks for being patient with me not positing regularly dear readers. This is a busy summer coming to an end and I’ll get you up to date.

Currently, I am holding down the fort at my son Chris’ home in Vermont, spending time with his wife and my two granddaughters while he hunts moose in Canada with John (my husband). So far, their very sick dog Walter had to be put to sleep, which is very hard with the family not together, Sunday we went to try a new church together. We’ve also celebrated three family birthdays in two days and had a good outing for Nataleigh’s 12th birthday with her aunt and youngest cousin, having lunch at Olive Garden and hunting for bargains at Good Will and the Habitat for Humanity resale store. A great trip for my granddaughter who is growing quickly into a woman. After a day home from school to mourn the death of the ‘puppy’ and another with tummy aches, the girls got back to school this morning, Natty finally gets to take her cupcakes to school and make up her I-ready tests. THe men are working to relax now they have their moose tags full, waiting to hear from the two that flew deeper in to hunt and hoping to make it home amid the hurricane threats.

This quiet day in Vermont without the girls, I finally sit to write while my laundry is going and Jenn and Rainey, the girl pup, rest. I am on Day 25 titled Same Job, Same Results in Walking in the Miraculous by Chad Gonzales, concentrating on:

John 14:12 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

and

Acts 10:38 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Jesus died so we could be God’s representatives of His kingdom here on earth, as it is in heaven. Chad says, “You could pray for God to touch [your neighbor’s] life or you could stand up in your authority as a believer [in Jesus] and touch them for yourself!”

Join me in stepping out in faith and in the power and boldness of Holy Spirit and experience signs, wonders, healings and miracles following us as they did Jesus and the first Disciples!

Moving on… my publisher now has my manuscript and my check for the publishing. Have I shared my money blessing story here? Just in case, I’ll share my testimony sparked by my friend Cindy’s testimony.

Hey Cindy, Thanks for sharing! Keep praying/singing in tongues. It gives the devil a headache because he tries to understand the God mysteries we’re praying, but tongues is a language our enemy cannot interpret or understand. I prayed with someone on a YouTube video last winter. She said to ask God for a certain amount of money and then pull it down from heaven. $3,000.00 came to mind and I didn’t know why-what it was for- or how God would give it to me, but I pulled it down from heaven.

Glory! I got a book to edit for a local Vietnam vet, my publisher I work for told me to write a check for $35.00 each month whether I do any comp mailings for her or not. I got asked to help at my neighbor’s motel again and she’s paying me $17.00/hour instead of last year’s 12. John has been paying for most of my gasoline, and the Lord gave me another person that wants me to help clean her house and visit. 

By June I had over $3,000.00 in my savings and sent my manuscript to Sabrina Adams at Zoe Life Communications. I asked how much to publish? $3,000.00! I just mailed the check to her last week, [July] and I still have over $1,000.00 in my savings, which should be enough to pay for the rest of the incidentals.

We will always proclaim the faithfulness of our Father God who is always with us and always shows us the way we should go- just in His perfect timing!

Shalom my dear sister Cindy, Heidi 

Now I have the timeline for publishing and will share the cover with you and some excerpts as we go. We will do a virtual launch between December 21 and 22. I will keep you posted on this site when dates are finalized and give you a link to join us!
