will change her life forever. In an attempt to gain a scholarship to a
prestigious school, she is thrown headfirst into a labyrinth of family history
that will confuse and deepen her search. Don’t dig up old bones, was the
response Sarafina received from her mother when she asked for help. What was it
in the family history that was so horrible that she wouldn’t discuss it? Only
by delving into historical records will she solve the lingering mystery of her
parentage and mend the broken branches of her childhood one last time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">When authors write from a place of wonder magical things happen.
These things, which happen in their heart, are read and treasured by
readers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">That authors who tap into the wonder
of God at work in our lives and share it with others may not have bestselling
books is understandable in our fast-paced twenty first century. Yet, there are
still those family and children's books that all ages love. I refer to the
classic, which many who didn't read them, enjoyed when they watched the movie
adaptation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If you find yourself nodding your head, I hope you'll checkout the
books by genre instead of author. I suggest this because reading books about
Family Values, Friendship, and Social Issues can give you a sense of wonder of
the rightness of things.</span></div>

started blogging because author friends suggested I do this. Over years, I've

With the soon to be launch of <i>Gracie & The Save a Soul Prayer Team </i>children's books

Now</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">As they entered the building
and turned down a dark corridor all Naomi could think was, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Now what will I do</i>? The man pointed to a chair in a stark office.
Steeling her resolve, she entered, sat down, and clutched the old, brown,
leather suitcase to her chest. Seeing an official take a man into a room, she
heard his interview begin. The door shut. Her mind raced, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Now what…what now, </i>demanding an answer. She closed her eyes and
tried to think of one but there were none. No answers for immigration, and she
had known there would be none even before she ran away from home in the middle
of the night without a goodbye or a note explaining. Aware that running away
from the reality of being a Jew in a country that allowed only those of one
faith, and that one not hers, to live there, she had planned to find her uncle
once she was allowed into America and help him bring their family here. Tears
formed. She blinked them back, certain that if she cried, she would never be
allowed to enter America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Seeking oblivion, she closed
her eyes, hoping that when she opened them, she would find this was a horrid
nightmare. Her mind brought her back to the moment fear had taken control of
her life once more. She heard herself screaming, “Abuela Sosa, please do not be
dead!” Her <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mamá</i>’s training took over
because she heard her say, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mi hija, think
of something else</i>. She tried, but as if things could not get any worse, the
image of the old woman’s daughter-in-law packing her meager belongings into her
suitcase flashed before her, and she heard herself demand, “You have no need of
me anymore? I gave you a year of my life! Your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">esposo…</i>your husband promised he would help me enter America and
search for my uncle if I took care of his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">madre!</i>”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Aware that the kindhearted
old woman had treated her as if she were her very own kin, her sorrow
increased. Yet knowing that her daughter-in-law had never visited the old woman
during their voyage, and was only there now because it was necessary, Naomi was
not surprised that this woman appeared unfazed by her charge’s death as she
dispassionately closed the lid to the teenager’s suitcase and stared at her.
Instead of demanding that the woman fetch a doctor, as Naomi had insisted an
hour ago when she fetched the woman, all she could think of was, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What do I do, now what do I do? </i>Then she
corrected herself, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Naomi, it is not what
do you do…it is what can I do to convince them to let me stay? </i>She watched
the woman eyeing her and wondered, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Why is
she in a hurry to rid herself of me before the doctor examines Abuela</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sosa and declares her dead? </i>Only then
did she remember the woman’s secretive responses to an odd phone call that came
moments after she followed Naomi into the stateroom. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Maybe the family discovered the last name I gave was not</i>…she felt a
knot in her stomach and knew her worst fears were going to come true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Opening her eyes to see who
was sitting beside her, Naomi was not surprised to find no one there, for fear,
she had learned, does funny tricks to one’s mind. She closed her eyes again,
certain that at one point there had been an official sitting next to her. At
least that is what she… Her mind drifted back to the moment they had met, that
is if being taken off the grand ship awaiting entry to New York harbor by an immigration
official could be called a meeting. Reliving the moment that culminated when
she sat where she was, Naomi knew it was all true. She was on Ellis Island and
would be deported. She knew that because it being her first-time sailing, she
had listened to the other servants talking among themselves and learned many
things…among them, the fact that no immigrants had disembarked at Ellis Island
since the end of World War I unless… When she questioned those who spoke, she
learned that immigration would remove a passenger from a ship because of a
problem with their paperwork, though when she sat where the man pointed, she
refused to believe her situation was as dire as it appeared. However, her heart
told her otherwise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Trying to convince herself
that her situation was not as bad as it seemed, she silently insisted, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This is a mistake! My entry into America
should have been easy. I took care of everything at the American Consulate
before we left Spain. My documents, medical history… I filled each paper out
very carefully! <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Agitated, she opened her
eyes. She was alone. Aware of the stories of the chosen few allowed to enter
the country; she tried to think of anything but the future she feared.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Now what? Now what? </i>her mind repeated,
demanding an immediate answer. Think of something else, her <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mamá</i> had often told her when she worried
too much. And now just as she had when her mother told her what to do, Naomi
nodded and whispered, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sí, mi mamá.</i>”
Scanning the room, she remembered reading that a fire had reduced the original
buildings to cinders and nonflammable materials were used when the facility was
rebuilt. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It must have been an awful
fire…still</i>…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> She heard the door to the
office open, looked at the wall clock, and realized an hour had passed. An
official took the man they had interviewed away. The door was left open at
another man’s request. She leaned forward in her chair hoping to hear the men
she assumed would decide her fate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “Sad that the grandmother
died,” the large man said, his voice filled with what she prayed was sympathy
for her plight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The smaller man nodded. “And
just before the boat she was on was to enter the harbor.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “The girl has no sponsor. We
must send her back to Spain.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “But she says she has no
people,” replied a man she could not see. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “Sad yes, very sad…. but it’s
not our—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Naomi thought it odd when the
small man stepped between the two who were speaking and blurted, “I tried to
call the lady but was told she was out!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The large man waited while
the man she had not seen left the office. Then he turned to his associate. “I
told you not to speak about that!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “It doesn’t make any
difference. I left a message, but there’s no one to help the girl.” He looked
at his watch. “It’s already five thirty. The office should have closed half an
hour ago.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The large man sighed. “We
can’t wait any longer. Ask her to come in.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Aware that she would be sent
back, the teenager muttered, “Oh, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Adonai,
</i>I cannot go back there!” When she heard her own words, she thought, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Perhaps in America I should speak with </i>Adonai
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in English, </i>so she pled<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, </i>“Oh, God, please help me … I cannot go
back there!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The old woman who sat down
while Naomi was speaking asked, “Would you like to stay in America?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Si!</i>” Fearing the woman might not understand her, she switched to
English. “I mean, yes…yes, I would. I would love to stay.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “I will arrange it for you.” Naomi
gasped. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Maybe God is watching out for me
after all!<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The
small man leaving the office caught Naomi’s eye, and motioned for her to enter.
When she stood, the old woman whispered as she rose. “Say nothing. Let me
talk.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Glad to have someone who
offered to help her by her side, Naomi knew everything would be all right, for
she could even breathe again. Yet, upon facing the man, she saw him frown. She
noticed the lines on his face were deeply etched and feared he had never heard
of the word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">smile</i>. Try as she might
to loosen the knot in her gut, fear raised its ugly head again, for she knew, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">this man has the power to send me back to a
life I wish never to see again.</i> She forced a smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The man pointed toward the chairs
facing his desk. “Sit. We have very little time.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> He fixed his dark eyes on the
old woman. “Since you did not answer your phone, I thought you might be done
with this business.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “You know how it is with me,”
Reaching into her oversized purse, she handed him a sheaf of papers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sí, claro</i>.” Victor replaced the girl’s official papers with the
ones the woman handed him. He seemed to smile with relief. “Still looking for
that special one, eh, Tía?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “Of course.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> He reviewed the documents.
“You still use the same lawyer.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “He helps me in my work.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Victor turned toward Naomi.
“This lady will vouch for you so you can stay here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Naomi smiled at the old
woman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gracias</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “So, you would you like to
stay in America?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sí, that</i> is why I came here.” She looked at the old woman.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> She looks just like </i>mi tía <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rosa, the same stark white hair, the same
small frame, the same dignity of bearing, the same edge to her voice, and, I am
certain, the same caring heart. </i>Turning her attention back to Victor,
relief welled up in her chest. “Thank you” was all she could say because she
feared if she said more a slip might cause him to send her away.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Victor pulled out the
necessary forms and picked up his pen. “March twentieth, nineteen fifty-two is
an auspicious day for such a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">niña </i>to
come to America and all by herself at that. What is your name, child?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “Naomi Baruh.” He nodded and
wrote her name on the form. Watching his every move, Naomi was surprised when the
official did not question her about her last name, for she assumed that was why
she was there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Victor asked the old woman
some questions and when the forms were completed, he used his official stamp to
legalize her documents. Once all was completed, he smiled at her and buzzed for
his secretary. When she arrived, he said, “Make copies for La Señora.” Turning
toward Naomi, the official smiled at her. “Now, Naomi, I would like to
introduce you to your sponsor. Your Tía, or as we Americans say, your auntie.
You are a fortunate girl. Do what she tells you and we will be happy that you
are staying with her.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Aware that she had never
owned a promise as bright as the one America offered, Naomi exclaimed, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sí…</i>yes, I will!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The copies returned, Naomi
watched the man check them over, place them in a legal binder, and handed it to
the old woman. “Here you are. Do not to lose them on your way home.” He nodded
toward Naomi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> When Tía nodded, Naomi
wondered if the two of them were speaking in some sort of secret language.
Before she could puzzle out what their exchange meant, Tía placed the binder in
her bag, stood, and motioned for her to do the same. “Do not worry; I will take
the precautions I always do.” Tía shook Victor’s hand and smiled at her. Victor’s
sigh sounded like a sigh of relief, and Naomi found herself wondering why both
of them seemed so…but before she could find out what was going on, Tía led her
out of the office. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; text-align: center;">Once outside, the old </span><i style="font-size: 13.5pt; text-align: center;">tía</i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; text-align: center;"> glanced at her watch. “Hurry or we
will miss our boat!” Grabbing Naomi’s hand, they ran toward the ferry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The captain saw them, blew
the ferry’s whistle, and hollered, “Hurry up and get aboard!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The old woman paid their
fare, thrust their tickets into the attendant’s hands, and rushed Naomi up the
gangplank. She pointed to the top deck. “Up there, you will be able to see
where you are coming from and where you are going to.” Scurrying up two flights
of stairs, Naomi waited for Tía, who joined her, and pointed toward Ellis
Island. “This was the port of entry for all who sought freedom. Now it is the
last hope for those the system will not let in. No matter what happens to you,
remember that this system did not win; at least not as far as you are
concerned.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> The horror of Ellis Island
diminished, as did Naomi’s fears. Entering the famed New York Harbor her uncle
had written about, Naomi turned, saw the city of New York with its skyscrapers,
and smiled. Though the wind whipped her hair into her face, nothing could mar
her joy, for this fifteen-year-old had traveled halfway around the world as a
servant, leaving all she loved, to fulfill her vow, which was about to be realized.
Clutching the rail, Naomi looked upon America, the land of freedom and opportunity,
for the first time. When the boat docked, all sorts of sights and sounds
assailed her, but she closed her eyes and took a deep breath of free air.
“Thank you, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Adonai,</i>” she whispered.
The wind blew her prayer of gratitude past her sponsor’s ear and out to sea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> With a wide grin on her face,
she opened her eyes. Before she could see much of the goings-on at dockside,
the old woman grabbed her hand. “Look…look,” she called as she pulled the girl
along, “if we do not hurry, we will need to wait an hour and…” Naomi saw the
bus doors close while they ran toward it. She thought the old woman would slow
her pace. Instead, she doubled it, and upon reaching the bus, Tía pounded on
the doors with her umbrella. “Stop! Open the door and let us in!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “Sorry,” the bus driver drawled
as he opened the door. “I was about to leave. With the motor going, I couldn’t
hear you.” He nodded toward an elderly woman who sat on the bench seat behind
him. “If it hadn’t been for this lady here, I would’ve driven off without you
and the girl.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> "It is lucky for me that you
have a passenger who pays attention!” Tía’s voice was so strident that Naomi
looked at her. Noticing the withering gaze, she unleashed upon the man, she was
grateful her sponsor was not angry with her. The coins made a clanking sound as
the old woman took her hand. When they walked past the woman the bus driver had
mentioned, Naomi heard the old <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tía</i>
say, “Thank you, Teresa<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, mi amiga.</i>”
Those tenderly spoken words calmed Naomi’s fears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> Hurrying them to the back of
the bus, Naomi sat where the old <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tía</i>
pointed and asked, “Where are we going?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “Home to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mi casa.</i>” She fiddled with something under the dolman sleeve of her
coat as she coaxed, “Relax, I will let you know when we are there.” Naomi
watched the bus weave in and out of dense traffic. The old <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tía </i>noticed her curiosity. “I am taking you to Spanish Harlem. Most
of the people who live in New York shorten the name. They call it Harlem, but
we Spanish settled and named the place, so we call it by its full name that
honors us and our presence there. Although other groups settled there and many
Spanish people have moved, it is still, in my opinion, the center of Spanish
life.” Since she did not understand how each ethnic group in the city
differentiated themselves, nor did she care, Naomi said nothing. Her only
concern was to see where they were going should she need to flee, so she
watched the road. As the miles ticked by, she thought about the procedure at immigration
and realized the man had given her no card of any sort. Since her uncle had
written that everyone needed one, Naomi began to worry. The old woman pointed
to a building. “See, there is Zabar’s, my favorite place for sweets.” Naomi
looked where her sponsor pointed and told herself, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She is nice. No reason to worry. </i>She turned to look at the road and
tried to get her bearings as the city rushed by. At each stop, she looked at
the old woman questioningly. “We are almost there.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “Good.” Naomi smiled, eager
to forget the events that forced her to accept the old woman’s help. “I want to
begin my life here as soon as possible.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “You all say that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “What do you mean? And what
was that man at immigration referring to when he asked you if you were not done
with this business yet?” Being stared at by the woman she thought of as her
heroine, Naomi’s concerns about her lack of a card and the mysterious
discussion between Victor and the old <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tía
</i>escalated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> “We can talk of this once we
get to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mi casa.</i>” When Naomi did not
respond, her sponsor turned to pat her hand. Glimpsing a manacle around Tía’s
wrist, Naomi knew she must flee and began to stand. Aware of what the girl was
doing, the old woman grabbed her hand in a vice-like grip, pulled her into her
seat, and handcuffed their wrists together. Fear sized her. Naomi froze. Her heartbeat
so fast, Naomi feared she would pass out. Yet she knew she could not give into
that, for she had to do something before it was… Opening her mouth to scream,
Naomi realized, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No one would do this to
someone who is here legally. If you scream, you will end up back at immigration
and you will be deported. </i>Trapped, she clamped her mouth shut lest by
uttering a word… When the lady sitting behind her asked her a question, she
shook her head, and tried to look relaxed. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Many years before the first book of The Naomi Chronicles was
published people asked why I didn't write. In this post I share what few knew.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Most, like me, who have been told by many that they would be a
great author, and for those who, ag</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">ain like me, had a weekly newspaper column when a teenager, becoming an author would seem a great idea! </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">However, I believed this was a dream that would </span><span style="font-size: 18px;">never</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> come true. For I couldn't </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">spell or punctuate worth a bean which made doing what I now
love to do as difficult as writing that weekly column.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Had I </span><span style="font-size: 18px;">thought </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">that joining the women in our Congregations devotional
writers’ group to encourage them would lead me to do the one thing I feared, I would never have
done so. But God knew what He was doing and why. I say this because a
few months in I was writing things which a few of the ladies told me were to be
part of a larger work. I wanted to tell them they were wrong, but </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">couldn't. For while writing, </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I felt it wasn't me forming the sentences,
creating the scenes, describing the people, but Naomi. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">When I asked God about this, I discovered that this was His plan
for me, to become a scribe for Him. To this day, He continues to show me what it means to turn my sorrow into joy by
trusting Him for the details. I was blessed to do that and further blessed to
learn that there are many levels of turning any portion one’s life over to the
lover of our souls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in Arizona so Beca can be restored to her family, Chaz, Naomi and Beca are
refused entry into the family’s home. Told to restore the casa across the patio

That most writers have too write a lot before their
proficient enough to call themselves and author is a given. However, few
realize while honing those skills that it is as or more necessary to learn how
to market their book, even before it’s finished.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though the reasons very, it is a normal, healthy thing to tell
others what you’re doing. I believe many good closet-writers don’t publish
because of fear. However, if you start early-on sharing what your doing, you’ll
find within every group another wannabe whose as passionate and worried like you. The adage ‘there’s safety in numbers’ applies here. For in all personal endeavors
which require time and perseverance, isolation and self-doubt rob the world of many
a fledgling – name your favorite author, athlete, or....<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Therefore today, I share an article which deals with one
reason writers don’t publish, namely marketing. Now, I’m not posting this
because I know what will work for you rather because the first steps require
those who write to talk about what they are doing. <o:p></o:p></div>

For me this hit close to home when I learned last year that
my brother started writing in Junior High School and is now seriously writing
for publication. And to think I found this out at 71, was a shocker. Especially
when I would have happily supported him. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Parents today have it harder than my hubby and I did when our kids
were young. Now that Danae is almost 50 and since Cheryl's almost seven years
younger, do the math and you'll discover that I'm an oldster, which, according me is a person who is old but still has enough opinions to stir things
up, I hope in a good (or should I say God) way?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Looking back at the 80's which
is when both of our daughters were teens, it was as needed then as it is
now to check out everything and everyone our girls spent time with and find out what they were doing. Ron
and I assumed there would be no problems. We were wrong and there were consequences we had to deal with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Whether you call them problems or issues, they
happen all the time. With most families today needing both parents to work, like I did, kids may think their parents don't care what happens to
them as long as they look like their following the rules. God 's Word tells us
that's wrong!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Well,
if that's wrong, what's right?</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> you
may wonder. And I'd have been right there with you before I go the big ah-ha from Jesus, which was when I discovered that Every Family Matters to God! His Word God tells us what matters to Him, so let’s check it out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">1. When Adam sinned God
punished him like we do are kids. Why? Because He knew we learn best by living
with the consequences of our behavior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">For kids to have a sun-shine day here's what they must have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Before start, it's Not Stuff we Buy like video games, or fancy clothes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Children’s
Hospital Colorado and other online sources say children need… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">1. Security—Kids must feel safe
and sound. This means providing them with basic survival needs: shelter, food,
clothing, medical care and protection from harm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">2. Stability—Stability comes
from family and community. Ideally, a family remains together in a stable
household. But when that ideal breaks down, your child’s life must be as little
disrupted as possible. Kids and families should also be part of larger units to
give them a sense of belonging and cultural continuity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">3. Consistency—Parents must
synchronize their parenting. No “good cop, bad cop.” Consistency also means
that important values should not be changed casually or for convenience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">4. Emotional support—Parents’
words and actions should facilitate kids’ trust, respect, self-esteem, and,
ultimately, independence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">5. Love—Saying and showing you
love your kids can overcome almost any parenting “mistakes” you might make.
Even when your kids have disobeyed, angered, frustrated, and rebelled against
you, they must know that you love them and that you’ll always love them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">6. Education—Make sure your
kids get the best possible education for their future. This, of course,
includes school. But it also includes the invaluable lessons about life that
you provide during the time you spend together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">7. Positive role models—Parents
are their kids’ first and most important role models. Be the kind of person you
want them to become.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">8. Structure—Rules, boundaries,
and limits: Without them, kids are forced to be adults before they are ready,
and they lose respect for you and other adults.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I like this list. Yet, as
fallible as we all are, and as tired and stress as parents get from juggling
everything, where can your kids needs be meet?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Aware that Jesus is The Answer, here's
what I know:</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">1. Security - Jesus meets kids
most important need because they know He loves and will never leave them. That He
has prepared a special place for each of them in heaven.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">2. Stability- Jesus is there always
eager to listen to each kid. And, He keeps his promises.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">3. Consistency - Jesus never
changes His mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">4. Emotional support - Even
before something happens Jesus is there. He supports and encourages those who
know Him through prayer, which is how we talk to Him and scripture, which is
how he speaks to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">5. Love - Jesus loves each
child so much that He gave His life, so they could live in heaven with Him when
the time came.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">6. Education - Jesus though His
Word and the Holy Spirit teaches kids things beyond our understanding. The
things children learn from Him make life better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">7. Positive role models - Jesus
is the Very Best Role Model a child can have because He is the same today,
tomorrow, and forever.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">8. Structure - Jesus has given us
guidelines in scripture as to how kids and parents should treat each other. At every
stage of your child's development you will find guidance in God's Word very
beneficial.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszW2_m3wIlJjqIbuvlsqKV5m24QsvWAeMYRjXygpNOLIarrWZVufJPVmyt2HNbrPhigG_SWgNwcwIO4H0APnGM5rFEjgb0tPUWEdCpxohkfKsiA6BEGv8RqsrzdT5Hj8LmEde7xXv6jM/s1600/images+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszW2_m3wIlJjqIbuvlsqKV5m24QsvWAeMYRjXygpNOLIarrWZVufJPVmyt2HNbrPhigG_SWgNwcwIO4H0APnGM5rFEjgb0tPUWEdCpxohkfKsiA6BEGv8RqsrzdT5Hj8LmEde7xXv6jM/s1600/images+%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">In the
last 20 years America, the only country in the world founded on biblical principles, has become the third largest Christian mission field. Where previous
generations took their kids to church many... perhaps most families today, with
both parents working, needing the weekend to distress have gotten their kids
involved in team sports and decided that since fair play, rules and character
are stressed in those places going to church or reading the Bible isn't
needed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">WRONG! Nothing can take the place of the one
location where we are asked to place our trust in God and given the opportunity
to start a lifelong relationship with Jesus, the savior of our soul. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">The interesting thing is that kids need and
respond to Gods love much quicker than most adults do. The seeds of faith
planted early in a child's heart help them make good choices. Not so, kids that
win a game but don't know the Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">Because of the desire of many in our country for
each of us to have it all, our youngsters may be shortchanged when we chose
what others did for their kids instead of what God's Word tell us to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">It's never too late to turn back to your first
love, or if you don't know the Lord visit a church to find out why I'm so dead
set on writing this. And, yes, I do know that there have been personal and
church faith failures. However, God didn't fail, people and organization did!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;">Don't feel like going to church is your thing?
Then get your kids and you some books where they'll experience God at
work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">One of the Most Important Things I learned as a Published Author was to have my List of Facebook Groups where I share my books in an easy to locate one step local. Blogging my lists of places where I post my books was a no brainier! </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Throughout the years I have referred many Christian authors and readers to that list, and
I'm sure those who write children's books will find this list an asset.
However, *** I would be remiss if I didn't ask you to let me know if there's a
group that I should add, which I will gladly do. ***</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">My hope is that many authors of
Kid’s books will find the blog a great way to post and those looking for
children's books will find this an invaluable tool. And of course, since I
developed this because I am writing children's books at the end of this list
you'll find info on my first kids book and the link to my *** Paula-Rose Amazon author page, which I hope
you'll visit. ***<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">For several weeks, due to a fall, my left pinky pointed to God.
When people kept bumping into and hurting my digit, I thought about all those
precious people whose hearts point to God. Beginning with the Apostles and each
who followed and believed in Messiah in the Bible and to today there has seldom
been a time when people of faith weren't treated differently. Jesus knew all
about being singled out, for from His conception to His death on the cross, He
was set apart. Our Saviors last words, "Father, forgive them, for they do
not know what they are doing," (Luke 23:34), shows us a heart that points
to God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Considering all Christ suffered
to set me and all who call upon His name free from the bondage of this world
and the joy of seeing Him in heaven, my little finger 'owie' is like the ones
children experience. However, when your heart points to God the bigger 'owie'
we experience is the same one our Lord did daily. When things get difficult for us we might think, </span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Why me? </i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">But the things we fear happened to Jesus... He was homeless throughout his ministry. Yet he spoke words of love, life and </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">forgiveness. From His first words to His last, and until the end of this age we'll </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">remember what He said because His words showed us God. Not God is the abstract, but a God of flesh and blood who loved us enough to redeem us with the blood of His son. Since Jesus took upon the sin of the world, and God cannot look upon sin, Jesus - the pure and spotless sacrifice - died alone. He was forsaken so we could become worthy of all </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">God</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> wishes to </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">gift</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">This is what it means to take up our cross and follow Him. We take
up our cross by choosing to not look at what was or worry about what we’ll be.
We trust that God is sovereign. Aware that when we yield all we
could end up homeless. What a ministry that would be if Jesus chose that for...
"Ah, but..." </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Whatever you were going to say,
I hope today you will choose joy, for we have so much to be joyful for when
each of our hearts point to God.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Till we meet again, may God
guide your way and His Word give you His peace which transcends our situations
or finger 'owie's'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Way back when I was a kid, things were different! Since I'm
a second generation American, I remember stories of how
my grandparents, great uncles, aunts, and other members of their
families came to America. Each one was sponsored by an American citizen. Only
then could they be allowed in. To make sure they would be able to make a
living, each learned English, attended citizenship classes, and became a
citizen. They were proud to be part of this country and eager to bless America.
My grandpa Louis and my great uncles Nate and Newman joined the Army when
World War 1 began.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">After my grandpa Louis retired,
he loved to watch the horse races in Tecate, Mexico on Friday's. He was always
home in time for our family dinner. However, there was one Friday
night when we didn't eat because Grandpa didn't some home. Finally,
at eight o'clock we got a phone call asking for my dad. When he got on the
line we discovered the call was from a United States of America Boarder Guard.
Grandpa had left home without his citizenship papers and they couldn't let
him in! My dad got his father’s papers, drove to the boarder and once
the guard verified that Louis Eisen was an American citizen let
him in!<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I'm 71 yet I have never
forgotten how my grandfather was detained at the boarder because we were a
country of laws. Though very young, I felt safer knowing that would happen to
all who didn't belong here. During those days of 'duck and cover' feeling safe meant
being able to do kid things without worrying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Our kids and all who live here
legally need to feel safe. I have seen articles about people who have been here
for many years being deported. Though each had time to become a citizen they,
for whatever reason, chose not to. With MS-13 and terrorist pouring into our
country, we must again act as all sovereign nations do by
enforcing our laws. By doing what is necessary we will once again be
The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
As the wife of a Lutheran Pastor and Messianic field missionary with Chosen People Ministries, a writer of faith stories and more importantly a believer in Messiah Yeshua, I thought it good to share these thoughts now because it seems 21 century families are not attending weekly worship as they did before.<br />
<br />
Growing up in Synagogue or as some called it a Congregation, we Jews worshiped on Saturday because for us the new day begins at sundown. Throughout my childhood, my parents carpooled with others of our faith to get us kids to Shabbat school, which is the equivalent of Sunday school. My parents were seldom at worship, which was a common thing as far as I knew. Since my parents did not attend there were no family chats about the sermon or Bible study that preceded it. I did not think that odd until our girls, my husband and I gave our lives to Jesus within nine months.<br />
<br />
Becoming aware that God loved and cared enough about each of us to offer His only son as the only acceptable ransom for our sins knit us together. Worshiping together as well as studying the same book of the Bible knit our hearts together in such tight bonds of love, commitment and service to God that we were changed from what we had been to what God had created us to become so we could draw others to Him.<br />
<br />
Looking back, in light of today's trend, I see a red flag which I'll call 'Lack of Family Unity' that I believe can be changed when all family members worship together, study the same book of the Bible and talk about what they learned and how that applies to their life and the lives of others.<br />
<br />
However, in this and most industrialized societies today, people are so busy chasing after whatever to get wherever without realizing that when we put God and His Word first, He gifts us peace, patience, joy and an awareness of what matters most. That dear friends is why Sunday Matters Most. For it is after we spend time with the Lord and our dear faith family that God's Word dwells in our hearts in a fresh new way encouraging us to look not at what we don't have or want, but at what we do have that we can thank Him for and share with others.<br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Writing great Inspirational
Christian Romances, Thrillers, Nonfiction, Memoir, Self-help and works to
encourage are author Paula Rose Michelson’s passion. Her desire to inspire
others comes from being a late reader, who discovered books were her best friends!
A lover of inspiring fictions where the heroine was one for her families’ sake,
she writes about amazing women, and unique faith challenges. When asked about
her idea for The Naomi Chronicles, Paula likes to say, "I cannot take all
the credit for Naomi started telling me her story, and together we penned the
six fictions." <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">When not involved in writing,
speaking or helping other writers, Paula pursues other passions while
supporting her husband Ron who is a Lutheran Pastor and Chosen People
Ministries field missionary. At one point, both of them worked for the mission.
However, when the Lord called Paula to write full-time, she gladly left to
devote herself to this work. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This happy mother of two married
daughters and grandmother of seven, has friends who often tell her that she
weaves such wonderful tails they lose track of the time. Since both family and
her ever-increasing reader family matter to Paula, she hopes to impart a
blessing to those who read her books. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Some who first knew Paula as the
founder, head, and facilitator of LAMB Ministries, have mentioned that a few of
those biblical teachings are found within her books. Paula knows this to be
true for her desire to faithfully depict Gods love, compassion, and forgiveness
while showing her readers The Jewish Messiah of Israel and the world parallel
her wish to see those who feel 'less than' restored to wholeness. Therefore,
within each of her books, she includes a few of the teachings God gifted her so
readers can overcome and feel good about themselves.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">If
you asked someone if they’d seen the Messiah, they might have thought you daft!
Yet, if we have </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">eyes to see and ears to hear we are blessed for Messiah said, “…</span><i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">truly
I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but
did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it</span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">.” (Mathew 13: 17-18). Those who have
seen Jesus were and are equipped by God to fulfill His Great Commission, which
says, “</span><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Therefore go and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.</span></i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">” Matthew 28:18-20</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">So,
the questions arise: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Where
do I go to see Jesus?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">2.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">What
do I do when I see the Lord?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">3.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">And
how will I know if I have really seen Christ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">The
answer may seem so simple as to be ridiculous because in Matthew 13:17-18, Jesus
said, “<i>All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with
you always, to the very end of the age</i>.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Perhaps
because of the above Scriptures you haven’t been looking for the Messiah. Yet,
He has been looking for you! And because Christ longs to bring you into His
forever family, He lets each of us see in others what we'd not see in
ourselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">I wrote today’s
blog because I meet a Good Son whose desire is to help his mother, whose
joy is in helping others. Through the loving relationship of these two people,
I came to understand more fully what Messiah meant when He said, “<i>How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t
you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I
say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living
in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and
the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works
themselves. Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I
have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am
going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name,
and I will do it</i>.” John 14:9b-15<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.5pt;">Those
in the world did not have the eyes to see Messiah then. And, I fear that though there
are many like my friend and her son, who drew me closer to Jesus because of their selflessness, </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">others</span><span style="font-size: 12.5pt;"> would not see and be drawn closer to our Lord
and Savior as I was!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">To

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Writing great Inspirational
Christian Romances, Thrillers, Nonfiction, Memoir, Self-help and works to
encourage are author Paula Rose Michelson’s passion. Her desire to inspire
others comes from being a late reader, who discovered books were her best
friends! A lover of inspiring fictions where the heroine was one for her
families’ sake, she writes about amazing women, and unique faith challenges.
When asked about her idea for The Naomi Chronicles, Paula likes to say, "I
cannot take all the credit for Naomi started telling me her story, and together
we penned the six fictions." Having received so much from Messiah, Paula
loves to bless others, and is excited that at least one of her Kindle eBooks
are usually found in Amazon's Bestseller list for their categories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">When not involved in writing,
speaking or helping other writers, Paula pursues other passions while
supporting her husband Ron who is a Lutheran Pastor and Chosen People
Ministries field missionary. At one point, both of them worked for the mission.
However, when the Lord called Paula to write full-time, she gladly left to
devote herself to this work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">This happy mother of two married
daughters and grandmother of seven, has friends who often tell her that she
weaves such wonderful tails they lose track of the time. Since both family and

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Some who first knew Paula as the
founder, head, and facilitator of LAMB Ministries, have mentioned that a few of
those biblical teachings are found within her books. Paula knows this to be
true for her desire to faithfully depict Gods love, compassion, and forgiveness
while showing her readers The Jewish Messiah of Israel and the world parallel
her wish to see those who feel 'less than' restored to wholeness. Therefore,
within each of her books, she includes a few of the teachings God gifted her so
readers can overcome and feel good about themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<img alt="The Naomi Chronicles (3 Book Series) by Paula Rose Michelson" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/E147vi7GvtS._SL250_FMpng_.png" /></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Honestly, I didn't know I'd begun writing the
Naomi Chronicles until I read a short portion of what would become book one of
that saga, <i>No Other Choice.</i> While
reading a snippet at the Shuvah Yisrael Women's Writer's Group, one of the
members who'd been encouraging me to write exclaimed, "You're writing a
book!" The women agreed and I discovered the lady who'd been encouraging
me to write was a small Messianic publisher who wanted to publish my work!
Bolster up by my husband and writers I began to write the story Naomi was
telling me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I had written a weekly column called 'Teen
Scene' for a San Diego paper when a teen, and while interning in a dually
diagnosed psychiatric hospital, helped write the updated interne training
manual. Neither of these experiences prepared me to write fiction. I must confess
that I did not know writers must chose the 'voice' they were to write in... All
I knew was that I would write as long as my heroine, Naomi was telling me her
story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Amazed to have found a publisher, and just
months away from the first books release date, while doing a final read through,
I discovered there was too much of me and not enough of Naomi. Though the task
was daunting, I did a major rewrite. With the help of my editor, who’d read a
portion and knew the book would be much better, the publisher agreed to
postpone the release. When preparing to send the second novel, Choosing
to Be to the publisher, once again I had a lot to re-write. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">By the third book, Beginning Anew, I knew what
was needed and looked forward to honing my skills. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Due to health issues, however, by the time I was
preparing the fourth book, Commitment for Two for publication, I had forgotten
what I'd learned and only realized this when working with a dear Christian
author who offered to edit my work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I share all of this today, to let anyone who is
struggling with their writing process know out of the crucible of creation,
readers are blessed. For James 1:17 says, </span><span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;"><i>Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.</i></span></div>

solid Biblical advice is sure to help many.”</i><br />
<br />
Shedding light on how blame abusers trap and control their victims, author
Paula Rose Michelson gets to the core of the blame issue, which traps many in
the vicious downward cycle of abuse. Hailed as ‘one of the best resources
anyone could find because it is based on God’s Word,’ within the author offers
wise advice, personal anecdote, gentle humor, and some Bible quotes. Through
simple journaling directions, the author helps the reader see their situation
as one shared by others, and leads them into a place where personal recovery
based upon God’s Word can occur.<br />
<br /><b>PASTORAL REVIEW: </b>“What does a person do
when he becomes a victim to someone's abuse? Paula Rose Michelson has a plan
that works if you are willing to work the plan. She gives solid Biblical advice
that is sure to help many who fall into the category of the abused. Do not
despair; there is hope. Let Paula help you climb your way out or perhaps help
others climb out of abusive relationships.” – Pastor Jim Hughes is the author
of Before and After the Honeymoon, a companion study guide and
devotionals. <a href="https://goo.gl/7GJKHE" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/7GJKHE </a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Having the Lord lead me to found LAMB Ministries in 1988, I realized after the publication of several of Naomi books, that she is a fictional prototype of the hundreds, perhaps thousands of traumatized and abused women I've been blessed to mentor since believing in Yeshua (Jesus). Thought I studied to be a Chemical Dependency - Lifestyle Disorder Counselor who was offered a job at the psychiatric hospital I interned at before I completed my courses, I believe it was God's perfect timing to uproot our family and have me meet people who dearly loved the Lord. <br /><br />Having asked Jesus to forgive me and made Him the Lord of my life before we moved, I attended church at a friend's invitation. Since my daughter, who was also a believer,liked the church, we decided to go there. My friend suggested I speak with Pastor Hurt. I meet with him and discovered I had a testimony! I asked him what Bible he used. On the way home I bought three; for my daughter, me, and my yet unbelieving husband. Within a week, I'd read the entire NIV Bible footnotes and all. <br /><br />The following Sunday my daughter and I went early so we could attend Bible study. I attended a women's Bible study. When it was time for prayer, one woman shared that a lady friend of hers was a 'white knuckle alcoholic'. I told her about my studies and offered to give her a book once unpacked. Later that day, I got a phone call and agreed to meet with the woman. A month later, ten women had sought me out. LAMB Ministries was born when Pastor Hurt appointed me the head of Women's Lay-Counseling for our church. Each LAMB Ministry book is a short foundational teaching taken from this in-depth year long course. <br /><br /><b><i> God's Word & prayer healed me. Sharing what I learned helps others! </i></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My thanks to Beverly
Lynnt for her 5-Star review! “Emotionally gripping, fascinating glimpse to a little-known
period of history, eye opening! I have to say that this book and its sequel are
some of the most intriguing reading I've experienced in a long while. It is the
kind of story that makes you "walk a mile in someone else's
moccasins." It is fiction, but based on history. That's one of the reasons
I love these books by this author so much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">First, the author
prefaces the piece by asking us to imagine "what if" our beliefs were
what threatened our family's very lives. How would we live to survive? Suppose
we saw our families and friends all around us killed or expelled or mistreated
because of their similar beliefs? What would you do as a daughter of the house?
Would you go into hiding? Live a lie? Fear for your life? Sacrifice for your
family's safety? With this mindset established, Naomi is introduced to us just
as she sets foot in immigration as a 15-year-old girl, about to be deported
because the family that was supposed to support her suddenly refuses to sponsor
her in America. But she is rescued. The question presented in this book is
this: was that rescue a blessing or a curse? You have to read this story to
find out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This book and book two
used to be one story. So you need to purchase the second book to find the
resolution to the first, which ends on a mild cliff hanger. Fortunately, book
two picks up about five minutes after the first ends. Since this is a series, I
didn't mind that so much. But I feel you should know this and prepare to
purchase both books together. In spite of that, book one is complete in that it
encapsulates a complete idea and develops it thoroughly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I enjoy getting to know a
subculture of America I have never become acquainted with, in this case the
Spanish Harlem area, or Harlem as it's known today. The author uses this
setting to make the surrounding circumstances Naomi finds herself in alive and
familiar. You get to know and somewhat understand her community, watch how
Naomi sacrifices her life goals to play an important part of the barrio and in
the lives of its citizens. The author writes this so well I felt as if I were
part of the community.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Naomi herself is going
through a transition. The reader becomes privy to her inner turmoil as she
struggles to find her place in life. Then the author adds a sweet romance in
the final chapters that brings all the circumstances to a head, adding slight
tension in Naomi's character development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I highly recommend this
book, and of course, the entire series. It appears there is more to come, so I
am looking forward to reading all the books based on how much I enjoyed the
first two. I hope you will grow to love this series too.” <a href="http://amzn.to/1tN7hEp">http://amzn.to/1tN7hEp</a> <o:p></o:p></span><br />

In the last two months, I’ve written 13 reviews all of them for 5-Star reads! One of the 13 reviews is for a cozy mystery written by a non-Christian. I mention this because my heart’s desire in all things is to show my readers, and yes – readers of my books know and Do check out my Amazon reviews posted at: <a href="https://goo.gl/qm8a" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/qm8a </a>- that my desire as my bio on Amazon author page says, is to, “Faithfully depict Gods love, compassion, and forgiveness while showing her readers The Jewish Messiah of Israel and the world parallel her wish to see those who feel 'less than' restored to wholeness.”<br />
<br />
Though I wish other authors would endeavor to do as I have, I know that each is called according to their gifts and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Where I find joy in giving Christian authors books 5-Star and occasionally 4-Star reviews knowing that many will be built up or come to faith in their Messiah because of what was written, others are not called to do this as often as I have.<br />
<br />
However, since I do know that when a newly released book receives 50 good reviews within the first 30 days of release Amazon makes this book more visible. My prayer for all who read this is that each of you take the time to write and post reviews asap so that those who read and those searching for the only thing that matters for eternity will find what they seek.<br />
<br />
Yours in Messiah <><<br />
