Ree's Diary

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29: 11-14

Someone Else's Diary is Published!

It's been a tumultuous start to the New Year. My mother passed away on New Year's Eve, and it's been so difficult to pull myself along through my grief and sorrow.

Of course, I think about my mother's life a lot. Having raised 8 children as a stay-at-home mom, she spent her days figuring out how to feed us on a pauper's salary. Not the greatest housecleaner, she did at least like her laundry done rightl And she was a fabulous cook. But often she would receive gifts for her home, and would "put them away for good." We would never see those items again. Her hoarding reminded me of the scripture to not lay up treasures where moth and rust can destroy but to lay up treasures in heaven.

Her death has sparked in me a desire to acheive, to stretch, to be more than I am. To conceive of ways to reach my goals...to not find my treasure moth eaten when I die.

So, I have self published "Someone Else's Diary" Vol 1 and Vol 2 will be released in a couple months.

I pray this book falls into all the hands that the Lord intends, that minds are blessed and hearts are changed through my poor words and efforts.
