My sister Amy entered the weekly challenge contest at faithwriters.com for the theme "Thanksgiving"--and she won first prize for Level 1 and received the second-place Editors' Choice award for all levels.
I thought some of you might enjoy her story. Her piece is titled "In Everything."
Neat story. I like the undertones of how our desires may not always be what is best and how God works all things together for good to those that love Him and are called to His purpose. She packed a lot into that short story.
Thank your for you kind comments, Kevin and Angela! It is so exciting to get published for the first time. :-) Thanks for posting about it, Angela.
I am planning on entering the challenge each week, if I have time. The Faith Writer's site has really encouraged my writing and has helped me learn to be more concise. And it is so fun to get all the nice feedback from other members and readers! :-)
DH (Dear Husband) and I have been married 15 years and have 4 girls: AJ, age 13; M&M, age 12; Ebee, who is 9; and Baby Nae, born in December 2013.
God has been faithful to sustain us despite my health challenges (which include fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (ME), migraines, a genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and occasional extra fun twists like the year I had mono on top of it all. :)
Since removing excitotoxins from my diet as part of a clinical research study in 2009, my health has improved considerably.
Ebee has grown out of her food allergies and intolerances, and all four kids are happy, healthy and doing great. We're in a season of enjoying life very much right now.
