“Miracles Still Happen Today” Intro
“Miracles Still Happen Today”
This Book is dedicated to:
First and foremost God my Father the Alpha and Omega! My beloved family! And every one who believes in God and has Jesus in their hearts! But also to those who do not believe in Jesus or my Father God yet.
!This is to Everyone!
~With all my Love~
I want you to know that God Loves you and cares about your life. Whether you think so or not.
And I would like to add…..
“Shit (always) happens”
–Forest Gump–
My Opening Words to you my readers.
You are probably wondering what this book is going to be about… Well, honestly I don’t know what exactly myself… I am just following God’s orders and writing it. This has been years in the making. The book should have been done well before now, “I think”. However God’s timing is always perfect and more has happened to me and I now have clarity and wisdom I can use to better express myself.
I can also tell you it will have key points of my life story and people I know which will all be based on facts. I promise I won’t bore you with the little things in my life. I will be pouring my heart out as I write this. It has not been and will not be an easy task. It has brought some very raw emotions to the surface, for me and for the others involved in my life. Nevertheless these events have to be told so that you may learn from them and find your own strength, clarity, peace, healing, and most of all JOY!
To reiterate the main topic is about my life. How it has not been easy to live for me. How it is not easy to live as a believer for any one Christian and non Christian a like. And how time after time we find the strength we need, the faith, the grace, and miracles big and small. You will be amazed by some of the stories and maybe brought to tears at times too. But in the end I hope you will smile and find a personal walk with My Father and yours; in your own life!
Please:
I ask that you please take the time and read each bible verse I list as they come up so that you understand the points, examples, I am making as I go. I am compiling a list of the ones I am using in full, in this book. In King James Version and [1]N.I.V. for your easy access and in case you do not have a bible or internet access. I do suggest you look it up on your own when you have some free time too.
Disclaimer: I will have you know:
I am writing what I know to the best of my ability on the many circumstances in which the events happened to me with accuracy. And not exclusively in the order the events took place. So I will also add a time line in the back of the book. But I will try my best to stay on the main time line. Everything I describe is indeed FACT not fiction in anyway. Please read with an open mind.
Thank you!

Where do I begin…
Hello there my beloved readers,
I am pleased to tell you every day this week I have been writing.. That is the most work I have done in months. It has been a pain the ass to do too.. My desk top is still broken and my laptop keys are faulting. Luckily I have an external keyboard from my down desk top that I can use, but I have to sit in odd positions and hold it on my lap which is some what easier then leaning over my “laptop desk” but it is more work.. I have dropped my poor keyboard five times today.. 😦 I love my equipment and think it is a blessing that I can do this at all.
Ok moving on I am sure you want to know how my books are coming.
“Miracles Still Happen Today” or “Believing is Harder Then You think” 1st chapter is DONE!!! I mean done done!! no more need to reedit anything.. And a editor saw it. Chapter two is almost DONE DONE. I had some details wrong. I was a newborn, how am I supposed to know everything.. XD So I fixed them and ended up writing several more pages. I just need to finish up the last two pages and then I will be done with Chapter 2.. Chapter three is done but I need to proof read it and I hope to send both to my new friend editor Monday.. That will be about 50 pages for her to read and I am not done. It is flowing out so nicely, if I keep at it It should definitely be done this year like I want.
“A Crimson Star” I have chapters 1-4 done I am just proof reading them and I will also sent to the same woman to edit.
Both books are about 60+ pages and about 6 chapters… I can not wait to share them with you!! I will post what I have for both first chapters tonight or in the morning for you to get a taste.. I already have the first chapter of the Crimson Star up but please wait to read it till I post that I have updated it.. That is an old draft..
Thanks, *HUGS*

Printed! Edit please..
So yesterday I got a lot done I did a quick edit on some of my book, and got the 62pages I have done so far printed for proof reading and editing.. My mom’s friend took my first chapter!! And so the process has begun.. I edited the hard copy of the 62 pages and am not going to work on imputing the changes to my book on my laptop.
Still Desktop is giving me trouble and it looks like there is no hope to fixing it unless some one can get in and change the password… Nothing can be done till that is fixed.. I will keep trying though.. Please keep it in your prayers! Thank you!
Ok back to work.. Will talk more latter…

EEKK!! A WORM!!
OH MY WORD!! Seriously!!!
I finally got an antivirus program and I was looking up research for something I am working on and I caught a worm. Not only did it cause mass havoc on my main pc but now it says I need a password to log in. Moreover none of my passwords are working. My mom thinks it was some one trying to hack me and thus my desk top is now off line and powered off completely till I can take it into some one. I am so glad nothing personal or important is actually kept on any of my computers.. Thank God for me knowing better with that. So if I loose anything it is nothing important.. And there is really nothing to loose other then my 500 pictures I had just uploaded off my camera… >.<;;
(for those of you who do now know anime or common online faces these days. that is a closed eyed, oh my gosh, what will I do, bad me, all around EEKK!!! face. )
Also I am planing a bridal shower and a bachorlet party for a dear friend one mine. It is quite exciting. I never thought just how much work goes into a party, even though I love throwing them..
Book news:
I am working on my main book, about my life miracles every other day, so all fictions are on the side I found an editor. Some one my mother works with. I am so worried I am doing a horrid job. (If I could spell better I would use bigger words, I am to lazy to look them up tonight.) I have been struggling to be honest on the layout and flow of the book. However I am still writing. I just pray I can express what I have to say and find what needs to be said easily and smothly. The devil is sure attacking me. He doen’t want to see this book finished. My pc torubles over and over again, health, work, ect, are proof of that…. PLEASE PRAY I keep getting the time and determination to finish this by the end of the year. Thank you!!
Good night and God Bless you!

Tomato Soup…
I would sure love a bowl of that right now.. Mmmm Tomato soup, or Tomato with rice soup, Cream of Mushroom, and Clam Chowder are the soups I like most. However Cheese and Broccoli soup, Potato Soup, and French Onion are good too.
Anyways.. Before I have to go to the store…
I went to work on one of my books 2 days ago and could not find word 2007 anywhere I panicked.. I did a search and every thing.. It would not let me open any of my books! So I took a deep breath and stayed off the computer for the rest of the day. The next morning I tried again, with no luck… Out of frustration I shut off the power and walked away… A few hours latter I tried again and there it was! That was so weird… The same thing happened to my moms computers… I think it was a bug..
I have been sick the past few days, I can’t seem to find the right copy of my book. (bad me for saving it 4 times in 4 diff places) It is probably on my desk top and not my laptop anymore. I will have to look in the morning..
It has been a long week and I am going out of town this weekend… I really need the get away… I want some peace and quiet… It is funny for the past two weeks I have done nothing but wanted to sleep and my body is fighting that but it has been great for writing though.

One thing after another…
I am so sorry I broke my word.. Life keeps throwing things at me. The Devil is cruel.. However not all the recent events have been bad.
The Good:

*It has been freezing so = More outdoor Activities
*I needed a break from the computer
The Bad:
* We lost a dear Cat after 14 years.
* My Cozen lost his newborn to heaven
*Word 2007 needed an compatiblity Pact
*Net was down for a bit
——-
Moving on, I got the site up for my comic. http://anovelife.wordpress.com
I downloaded and installed the Word 2007 comparability pack. I started 3 more blogs >.<;; All for good reason and personal reasons I may explain latter. And I will link at a better time.. I am going out of town next weekend for a Dr. Visit. My cardiologist is wonderful, but is is a trip to see her. ❤ It will give me a much needed break and some thinking time. Plus work time for my books. I will work on keeping my word and post stuff in two weeks.. I am truly sorry for the delay but thats life..

I am so Excited!!
WOOT!! So I paid my friend the first fee, now I am just waiting to see it done. I need to make a place where I can post them, not sure if it should be a manga like comic or more like random entries.. I also need to update the site for “The Hall Of Bish” linked in my last post, I talked her into doing that again. I hope she does..
I have been so inspired lately but things keep getting in the way, I am to tired, or I get distracted by face-book. So to solve the FB problem I am taking a hiatus fom it starting next week, until God says to stop. I have many things I need to get done! Such as, Writing and Real Life work. And now I have the tools!! Woot!! Please keep me in your prayers! I will post at least one more book chapter next week. Not sure which book, maybe you will get lucky and get more then one chapter up. However, please Remember they will be raw.. But feed back is always great! I can’t improve without correction. PLEASE give me feed back!! Love you!!

Last Month of the Year.
Hello My Beloved Friends!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Very Happy New Year!
I know I say friends all the time, I want you to know I do that because if your taking the time to read this, it means a lot to me and I consider you important. Even if your family, or some one I do not have the pleasure of knowing, you are still dear to me..
I can not believe the year has gone by so fast. It feels like the new years was just last week. It feels like my sister was still pregnant. WHERE has this year gone?? I can say It has been a productive, hard, yet blessed year for all I know. I pray the next year will be better.
Now on to the updates! (I know there is a lot, but please read)
1. I found an artist. My friend J-Chan who has done work for me before has agreed to start drawing comics for me. 10$ per request. Don’t you wish you had said yes?? Now the question is how and where to post them.. I am thinking for now 1 per month. But we shall see.
Here is our old page, http://thehallofbish.bravehost.com/ where she drew comics from ideas we had, about two ladies who interviewed random anime characters from mangas, online comics, and of course animes. We only have one comic up but many drafts. Her computer kind of crashed a few times and she (J-chan) lost all her hard work a long with the drive. But I am working on her and she has new tools and a new computer now. So we shall see what happens with that site. PLEASE take the time to check it out if you like anime. I really enjoy her style, though it does very with each piece. That will give you a small taste of what is to come. I promise you we will give you more. Even if I have to pay for it.
2. The puppies are doing great, and getting bigger daily. My nephew is great. He has two teeth now. And his first big poop.. >.<;; My home project. My room is coming a long nicely. I made the mistake of sitting down a few days ago and now I need to get back to it. Things that need to be done. A. sort through tubs and boxes -see what I can throw out and donate. B. Clear the floor, vacuum it, and pull up the linoleum. C. Wait till I can afford new tile and then have it layed. D. Paint my walls + Buy a dresser. E. Reorganize.. (not in that exact order.) What I have done so far is. A. Sorted my things in to tubs, and boxes. B. Installed internet on my desktop. C. Got a new door. D. Got new curtains and curtain rod. (one step at a time)
3. As for writing, I am doing so still. Not so often with the holidays. But getting back in the swing of it again tonight. I am still very aspired and inspired. I am going to be devoting at least an hour + a day even on weekends to get my books done. On top of that I have a lovely wedding to go to in July and I need to loose weight for that, and for myself. SO please keep me in your prayers, pray that I keep the goals in mind and have the selfdicipline I need to keep them up..
PS. as for you face-bookers, I plan on taking a hiatus soon so no worries..
God Bless You today and always! May you be blessed in the new year and have favor!

“Miracles Still Happen Today” – Main book Update
“Miracles Still Happen Today” is a book about my life story, and my walk of faith.
It is completely Factual. I have been stuck on it for a while. I just seemed not to flow
and I wasn’t sure about the beginning. Did it grab attention to the readers? Where should I start?
Should I have a prologue? ECT… So I have been praying on it and God told me to save what I have
and restart, write what is in my heart. So that is what I am doing. I have 60 some pages 4 chapters.
I will not loose any of it but I am starting from scrach and will use what I have where I see it needs to go.
I look forward to sharing this book with all of you. It has been an emotional and a mental struggle.
Not only for me but also for my family. So look forward to that.
Also I have new ideas for my fiction books too. I don’t what happened but I feel refreshed and less
stressed about writing now.
