I thought I'd have time to do little things for myself while not being able to do the big things I usually do for everyone else...but no, not really. I am finding that my world got smaller but busier and I have been horrible about my daily devotionals. Wouldn't you think that staying at home would give one more time than less? Priorities, that is what I am learning. I need to make the important things my priorities and really look at where I lose my time. Is it social media, television watching? Is it activities that bring me closer to God and his plan or farther apart. Reflection time. :) </p>Conniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06167089616020654799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338644810176399127.post-83444624228101618482020-06-29T00:00:00.000-07:002020-06-29T00:00:21.218-07:00Trust the PlanSometimes the most frustrating thing a person can say is, 'trust in God's plan'. Trust is one of the hardest things a Christian can do and I guess that's why I write about it. All my books have the theme of the characters struggling with trusting that God has put events, struggles, and celebrations into our life to help us to grow. If one of those things is removed you may not meet a person or learn something important. Looking to the goal, or the end is key. Don't get stuck on the problem of the day.<div>
In the past three Thousand Moments books and in the soon to be released fourth book A Thousand Sacred Moments, the tagline is, every moment is sacred, even the hard ones. Every event is put in our path for a reason.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The best example I give to people who question my faith and trust in the plan is when I moved to Montana. My husband and I prayed and prayed for a sign to know whether we should move. We would be moving away from a home we had had for twenty five years and all our family was there. We couldn't decide if God wanted us to move and our prayers were not getting us anywhere. It felt like on one hand God wanted us to move but on the other hand we questioned if it was the correct move. Finally we met with our pastor and he told us what I'm telling you...Trust in the Plan. Trust it is what is supposed to happen and trust God will put things in place. If he wants the path the change, he'll do it and give us what we need to get through it. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
Sawyer and Raven are finally happily married and living by the beach in California, but things are far from perfect. Unsettled with “normal” civilian life, Sawyer feels called back to the battlefield. With Raven’s reluctant agreement, Sawyer deploys with a helicopter medic group. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
Raven struggles with letting her go again, the nightmares of her last deployment never far from his thoughts, but when their close friends, Thommy and Vanessa, announce they are expecting a baby, Raven begins to wonder if Sawyer is searching for more than just her next deployment. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 22px;">
As a former prisoner-of war, Sawyer suffered life changing injuries that leave her unable to have children. Now that their best friends are expecting, Sawyer’s questioning her ability to give Raven the family he desperately wants—and deserves. It seems everyone is moving forward in their lives while she continues to go backward, hoping the next life she saves will fill the hole in her heart. But the middle of a battlefield is the last place she expected to discover the doctors were wrong, and God has other plans.</div>

Omg.... connie!!! So... I am hooked on raven and Doogie please tell me there will be more!!! Unfortunately I didn't realize I skipped book #2, so I read 1 then 3. Anyway, you have a fabulous gift of writing for sure. I typically dont read "war stories" but I am so glad I took a chance on this series! Im not a blood and gore reader. I'm pretty much only a christian fiction reader. I think you've done a glorious job in making war real without being overly .... hmmm, descriptive? Gorey? Whatever the word is I'm trying to find? And then to realize it is my kind of genre anyway, double... triple... yay!!!<br />I think you've done a beautiful job! With the characters. With raven and Doogie. (I dont like her mom tho <span class="_5mfr _47e3" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/f65/1.5/16/1f620.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span class="_7oe" style="display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;">😠</span></span>). with getting to the reality of war. War isn't pretty. I'm sure there is lots we never hear about that really happens over there.<br />I'm hoping their story continues! I want to read about the miracle of them having little ones! Of Doogie NOT going back over! Of how raven and Doogie overcome their trauma together! Albeit not easily and with bumps. How raven NEVER turns his back on Sawyer. That Doogie will embrace her beauty, scars and all and accept the beautiful love that Raven gives her, unconditionally. Please, please tell me there will be a 4!!! 5, 6, 7? Lol<br />I'm hooked and love your style♡♡</div>

For the past ten or so years I have been writing. My first publisher pushed me to change my style to one more commercial, which in this Fifty Shades of Grey world, was much more racy. I changed my stories, I added spice and I followed other authors that wrote similar. I read similar work and soon found myself falling into the rabbit hole. I began to ask myself was I selling my soul for potential readership? I joined a touring Author's group and began selling books at local bookstores and fairs, however I found I was really unable to explain my books because I was embarrassed by their content. So I decided I needed to branch out more and signed up for book signing in Vegas. There I discovered I a totally different world and although I could explain my book to eager ears, I still wasn't comfortable with myself. What I found is I was being tempted to change for the chance of success. It took awhile and a lot of soul searching to realize I was changing into someone I didn't like or respect. Thankfully Anaiah Press gave me back my identity and I am writing what my heart tells me and not what a society that is falling to their desires necessarily wants. But now I have to find my new TRIBE. I have to find my readership and leave those who read my stories before behind. Slowly I am rebuilding my brand and hope to find my TRIBE soon.Conniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06167089616020654799noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338644810176399127.post-82953829821304821652017-05-20T18:23:00.000-07:002017-05-20T18:23:22.696-07:00Pre-order link for my next book is up on amazon!<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">When twenty-two year old Emme Sawyer joins a Marine unit heading into Helmand Providence, she focuses on what she does best: keeping her men safe.With the help of her guard and good friend Tahk she enters the battle with little fear. But, when the unit is hit by an IED, Emme realizes she can’t save everyone. With her humanity on the line, and her faith in question, she seeks comfort from Raven, her commanding officer. Soon, Emme develops feelings that don’t belong in a combat zone, where each step could be your last. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Raven keeps his emotions locked up tight, never allowing the men to see him sweat. But when Emme joins his unit, all bets are off; and the feelings he thought he left stateside begin to emerge. Knowing that the deserts of Afghanistan are the last place to start a romance, and the United States military’s view on fraternizing; Raven tries to deny his heart but can't help but hide small gifts, folded swans, with words of the feelings he tries to deny. Emme and Raven learn you can’t always choose where love finds you.

I have books in some local Barnes and Nobles in the Seattle area because I did signings there but Walmart!? Crazy. I am going to browse the shelves at my local Walmarts and to see if it gets in the stores. That would be extra crazy!Conniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06167089616020654799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338644810176399127.post-37253524669712883152016-07-15T10:16:00.001-07:002016-07-15T10:16:44.549-07:00welcome back to meI started this blog as I was embarking on a huge change in my life...a move to a new state, and let me tell you life just got away from me. My new job has its challenges, my relationship with my husband has grown and changed, my kids lives have tips and turns, all I can say is wow.<br />
<br />
My husband and I have been in this new city for almost a year and currently I am packing the house up again to move into a little home we will call our own. This decision has been tough. You see we moved to Montana and right away my husband thought we would move to some property and get some animals and off we would go into Big Sky Country. Well we found the property and bought it. The location was great because it would get me closer to work, which is relative seeing as my commute is an hour each way but it was a few minutes closer. But then the issues began. The buyers for our house back home backed out (A story for another post) and our dream house began to be a million dollar challenge. Every which way we turned it wasn't working out for us. The cost was just much more than we wanted. So we sat back and listened to the words our pastor told us. Move forward until God puts something in your path. Three times we moved forward and each time BAM we were stopped. We knew we had to think of another direction. We had to reassess what was important and low and behold a house just up the block from us went up for sale. It was definitely in our price range and almost exactly like out rental but little nicer. We loved the neighborhood and nothing much in our lives would change because HEY is was a block away from our current home. So as we tend to do, we jumped on it. And God said WHOA hold those horses and put up a road block. So low and behold we found this other little home. One that makes us really think about each item we keep and again purge useless "stuff". There have been no road blocks. This has been smooth sailing and we truly believe this is the path God has set us on.Conniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06167089616020654799noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338644810176399127.post-64459218573063115452016-07-15T09:36:00.000-07:002016-07-15T09:36:57.358-07:00New releaseThe third book in the 1000 Moments series has been released!

watched her two best friends -- Levi and Tucker Corbin -- pack up and move away
from the only home they'd ever known. Being apart is difficult enough, but
going years without so much as a phone call or email from either of the
brothers was heartbreaking for Ali. But life goes on, and Ali learns to slowly
pick up the pieces of her life and mend the hole they left in her heart. She's
doing pretty dang well, too. Until she comes face-to-face with Levi Corbin
during Monday morning Physics lab. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the boys makes her want to go back to the way things were. Unfortunately for
her, they've returned with only one thing on their minds: Winning Ali's heart.
Ali soon finds herself in the middle of a love triangle she never intended to
be a part of. As she tries to reclaim the friendships she's lost, unfamiliar
feelings begin to stir. It's time to make a decision, one that will forever
change all their lives: Levi or Tucker Corbin?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
