Hi friends!
I pray you are well during these strange times. I wanted to share a bit of news. :)
My latest novel Star Rising is being advertised on Bookbub so it's on sale for only 99 cents on Amazon this week! You can get a copy by clicking here: Star Rising
Also, two more of my novels have been made into Audio books! Blown Together and Falling for Grace! Find them on Audible or Amazon. Here's a link to Blown Together. I have a few codes left I can give out, if you comment on my blog here, I'll let you know if there are any available. 
On another note, I've been doing a study on women in the Bible. I'll share a few notes I made below if you're interested. No worries, if not! Let me know if I can pray for you :) 
Blessings, Janet

                                                            My thoughts about Eve
Eve was in the most beautiful, perfect place ever with her husband. God walked with them in the evening. All of her needs were met. Yet, she wanted just one more thing. I think many women can relate to that. I shop when I have a closet full of clothes and a house full of things. Am I the only one?
About walking in the evening with God--
Most days, I walk in my wooded neighborhood, and I often try to imagine Him walking with me. (Authors have big imaginations.) I feel the wind in my hair and hear the sound of birds in the trees, and I thank Him for not giving up on me, despite my many blunders.

Scripture identifies that Satan was the one acting through the serpent who tempted Eve. (2 Cor. 11:3 Rev 12:9) The strategy is to drive a wedge between man and God. Sin always drives wedges. Satan questions God’s Word and motives and love. Satan doesn’t mind lying or twisting the truth. Eve gave up her confidence in God’s provision of her needs. At times, I have done this as well, and I went my own way. I went searching for the wrong things to provide happiness. Those choices did not provide true joy, and they often led to disaster.

Once Eve and Adam (who was standing right beside her!) took the fruit and sinned, they hid from God, crushed with guilt and shame. They blamed others for their choices. I’ve been there, done that—played the blame-game. Sin kills our relationships with each other and God.
Yet…
God sacrificed to cover Adam and Eve with clothing, as He sacrificed His son to cover our sins years later.
Eve was the first mother, and she went through the pain of losing a child too soon. She went through the horror of having a murderer for a son. She knew heartache over her children. I know many can relate to that as well, yet God can comfort.
I was surprisingly encouraged studying Eve. What are your thoughts on her?

Blessings,
Janet
