You know, I haven’t read any Stephen Lawhead books yet? Sadness. Lol
Over the years, I have studied great men of faith who held healing campaigns. Igniter of Faith by David Yanez.

“It is never a happy day when an eight-year-old girl’s cheesecake lands in the dirt, and she certainly doesn’t take kindly to the laughing little boy who put it there.”
A Noble Masquerade by Kristi Ann Hunter
I certainly wouldn’t be happy, either, especially if it had raspberry or blueberry topping on it!
Haha! Nor would I
I really enjoyed that book!!!
So, I have a stack of old books that I keep on my desk…and guess where I am sitting this morning haha…

When I think of the ruin my life has become, the slow wrecking of my dreams, the destruction of every love, I always return to the bee.
Land of Silence by Tessa Afshar
Looooooooove that book!!
I haven’t gotten to start it yet. It’s mocking me and whispering “read me, read me.”
LOL! mine do that too 🙂
ESPECIALLY after that video you showed me yesterday … or Wednesday…. yesterday was so crazy. It was probably Wednesday. lol. But anyway, it’s a very significant book especially along with that theme <3
