Entwined!

A year ago exactly, On Unclipped Wings slipped onto the market almost unnoticed. But God noticed. Often, he reminds me how important it was to write it. It comes through Bible verses, or an unexpected comment from someone.

He also reminds me that our stories are entwined. For, whatever happens in my life, or in any of our lives, he is right there with us, holding us up and cheering us on. And through his participation, our stories become his story as well. So when he says, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven,” (Matthew 4:16) it is so very true.

To God, my flickering flame or that gigantic spotlight are both lights worth sharing. Both are important. Both are good.

On Unclipped Wings – a friend’s reaction

He said, “Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. I found myself immersed and, as I read, I kept wondering how a story like this could take place. I wondered how much more psychological battering the key player, a daughter, could take, and what motivated her religious parents to act and speak as they did. 

This account relates how a daughter’s freedom was seriously restricted, even into adulthood, and how she was repeatedly devalued and considered to have no potential. I expected her to become embittered and broken, to rebel against religion. But, for the grace of God… 

Her story is well told, engaging, and not quickly forgotten. I was challenged by her resilience and positive attitude, that she survived and then triumphed, that beauty grew in adversity.”

Thank you, friend.

On Unclipped Wings – its heart…

On Unclipped Wings goes deep into the heart of what it means to be free. Can the manipulation of others, their forcefulness and psychological control, imprison us and tear away our freewill? Or can our hearts still beat with passion and joy?

No matter the circumstance, we do have a choice. We can always relate with God. No person, no society, no situation can stop us. Sure, it will be the battle of all battles, and our controllers may try to slay us emotionally, psychologically, and even physically, but there is a way through.

On Unclipped Wings is my testimony, for through my griefs I discover that God is true. And, even though my circumstances take a long time to change, I learn that I am no longer a victim, or even a survivor. With God I can thrive.

Rejoice with me!

A few days ago I was formatting my testimony, getting it ready for possible self-publication.  But, instead of pushing the SAVE button, I pressed PUBLISH by mistake. Oh, the panic, I wasn’t ready. I don’t mean the manuscript is unfinished. That was done years ago. I’m talking about my heart.

Yet, there are times when God lets these mistakes happen, because he knows that we will delay. He knows that we will sit there, and for me that meant wanting to get properly publishing, instead of doing it myself. But there is a verse that deeply encourages me, “‘Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?’ says the LORD. ‘Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?’ says your God. ‘Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her…'” (Isaiah 66:9-10)

So, REJOICE WITH ME! My story is unexpectedly born, and it is now ready for you to read.
