Welcome To My Blog

This is where I'm telling the story of publishing Anelthalien. Some posts tell about how Anelthalien began, some tell of what is happening right now, and all tell how amazing God has been through all of it. Also, you might find the occasional guinea pig post or maybe even something different.

A Place To Belong

The song Ella sings at the Lighthouse comes from a distant memory. It doesn't describe her life at the Lighthouse, but it does ring true for Barnes as well as many others who are not just characters in a book. Many people feel as if they have nothing except a fate of living at a distance from everyone else. For some reason--illness, past choices, addiction, disabilities, unusual qualities, etc.--many feel like it is just better to hide away and not even try to overcome the st

Now when people introduce themselves, I'm doing well to remember to say my name. It's just so much easier to listen while other people talk. Spoken, on the spot words are hard.

A Way Where None Exists

I had heard God tell me to just start and go wherever He led. We started a run together. Our run through the countryside was easy, eye-opening, and lovely. When I first set eyes on the mountains, I temporarily panicked and forgot to follow God's lead. God calmed me and returned me to His side. Our run continued through the mountains. I wondered where we would end up but kept my eyes on God. The run through the mountains just started to feel natural, when suddenly, I froze. I
