 For Teens:

My Life,Unscripted  

 MLU

Real-life scripts, screenwriting terms, and timely topics, make this an interesting read for teen girls as they delve into their own inner struggles and outward relationships. They'll also learn the importance of "scripting" their own responses BEFORE challenging life-situations arise, so they are able to think about, pray about, and consider how to face these situations before the scene begins.

November 2008
Hello!
 
Thankfulness...
    
It's the topic of the month. Yet my prayer is that I won't just have a thankful heart for this month, but for the weeks and months to come. And that my thankfulness be visible in all I do.
 
Turn on any television show or radio and you will hear reports of a recession. You will hear about earthquakes and fires. You will hear about lost jobs and lost savings. And perhaps you have experienced some of these things yourself. If so, my prayers are with you.
 
But as I hear about all these reports, I remember one thing:
 
For God is the King of all the earth;
       sing to him a psalm of praise.
 God reigns over the nations;
       God is seated on his holy throne. Psalm 47:7-8.
 
No matter what we hear, no matter our worries, God is in control. I am thankful for that. I don't have to face these things alone.
 
God lives. God reigns. It's something we should all be thankful for.
 
All God's Best,
Tricia

Thanksgiving is in a few days ...WOW! How did that happen? (shakes head) And you know what that means ... yep, Christmas will be here the week after. Well, at least that is what it will seem like!

I ran a  "Tis The Season" series over at Generation NeXt Parenting blog. If you need a little help preparing your bundles of joy for the holiday season ... here's a recap!

Blue Like Play Dough ... and The Biggest Book Give-away EVER! 
 
Coming Summer 2009!
 
BLP 


Watch the sneak peak video here!
 
I've never worked this hard on a book! What I thought would be a snap (well, maybe not THAT easy) to write turned out to be a long process of deep soul searching. Blue Like Play Dough contains reflections on things I thought I'd gotten over, gotten past and just plain forgotten!
 
What finally emerged on these pages is proof of what God can do with a mom who dared to say YES! to Him.
 
So in celebration of Moms everywhere who are up to their necks in the momminess of life, I'm hosting The Biggest Book Give-away EVER! (Props to Waterbrook/Multnomah for their generosity!)
