Every Surnise Every Sunrise
  
The bleak winter days make February on Heather Creek Farm a test of endurance, and as winter wears on, Sam becomes more and more withdrawn and unhappy. Bob is busy planning a surprise for Charlotte, and Christopher is excited about a local writing competition, while a Valentine's Day flower from a secret source lifts Emily's spirits. But when Sam disappears from the farm one night, chasing a memory of the father who abandoned them all, Charlotte and Bob need all the help-and prayer-they can get to bring him home safely. This broken family needs God's help like never before, but their trials remind them all that every sunrise brings a new beginning.

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.

Hello!
 
Deep and Wide...

One of my favorite Sunday School songs growing up was "Deep and Wide."
 
Deep and wide, deep and wide ... there's a fountain flowing deep and wide. I loved the hand motions, although at the time I don't think I truly understood what the song meant.
 
Lately, I've been discovering even more how deep and wide God's goodness is. The wide has been obvious to those peeking in on my life. God has opened the doors in numerous arenas for me. In the last month I've found myself speaking to 900 teens about purity and to 9 teen moms about praying for their future husbands. I've worked on four different writing projects, all at different stages of the process. I've made new friends and have spent quality time with my family. And through it all, the wideness of God has covered every part. His joy and strength have filled me as I've worked and served ... and the reason?
 
The reason is because I'm discovering the deepness of God. How endless His love is. How all-consuming His truth. The more I discover about Him, the more I want to know. The more I sink into Him, the more I know I'm just scratching the surface.
 
I've also learned something else, and that is the important of "narrow." (I couldn't think of a narrow song!) To me, narrow is choosing the thin path--a path that's harder to walk than the broad, go-with-the-flow way. I walk the narrow way by disciplining myself, focusing on God, and not leaving the path. God is with me on the narrow way. His one step ahead, leading me.
 
No, this is not a lesson on geometry (I'm not a math girl), but rather about space. As I give every space in my heart to God I've discovered He takes me to new places ... deep, wide and narrow. Each has challenges of their own, but the rewards are worth every step!

 
All God's Best,
Tricia

Check out the buzz from the blog tour!

Deborah from Books, Movies & Chinese Food
If you haven't gotten a chance to read any of them, they are a MUST read. Tricia's additions to the series have simply been wonderful and I really like how her contemporary books have turned out. Even if you haven't read any of the other books in the series, you will enjoy this book and definitely want more! I can't wait til the next one!!

Deborah from Comfort Joy
This book has me worried. I've only made it to the middle of chapter 5 and I'm worried sick. Yeah, I'm worried. When was the last time a book drew you in so close that you worried about the characters?

Sarah at Real Life
Tricia has a unique way of letting the characters unfold and endearing the reader to them. When I stepped into this family's life and my emotions were drawn into their immense struggles and triumphs, I internalized the power of God's grace.
 
 
Oh...and the best part is the EVERY FOODIE contest!

Okay...this book is loaded with yummy food: strawberry cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, baked chicken with cornbread, chocolate cake, pancakes with homemade syrup, French onion soup, parmesan crusted chicken...well you get the idea!

So the contest for this tour will be the EVERY FOODIE contest! Leave a comment on the
blog tour post with your favorite meal and a recipe (feel free to post more than one recipe for additional entries in the contest!)! I'll choose the one that most tantalizes my taste buds to receive an entire set of the Home to Heather Creek series (books 1-7)!

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.
