Table for One (2008)
(Paperback available now!)
Successful stockbroker Lucy Brocklehurst hasn't had a date in four years. In a town where the ratio of single women to men is 7:1, she's determined to wait on God for the perfect mate--as long as it's the hot new youth pastor at her church.
Lucy will do anything to get his attention, including volunteering for the youth group. Through a series of misadventures on the teen outings, Lucy finds herself falling in love with a kindhearted chaperone named Edgar Flowers. But when their relationship grows serious, Lucy discovers the lengths his recently-widowed mother will go to in order to keep them apart. What starts out as harmless interference turns into an all out tug of war, with Edgar as the prize!
Will Lucy crumble under the scrutiny of her would-be mother-in-law? Or can Lucy and Edgar's budding romance survive the schemes of his meddling mom?
Georgiana Daniels is the wife of a super-generous husband, and the mother of a teen and two tots. After graduating with a degree in public relations, she spent several years in the business world, but now has the privilege of staying home with her children. In her spare time (what spare time?) she loves to write Christian fiction, blog, and participate in ACFW and RWA.

Police Officer Andrew W. was shot in the face point blank and killed, he is close to people I know and leaves behind a wife and 3 little ones. He was a man of God.
I am also asking for us to intercede for all the people who are on the side of Christ, to put on the Armor of Light. If you can and will be in agreement please pray this prayer with me and the ones I send this to today!
Oh, Father in Heaven,
You know and see all as there is nothing that is hidden from You, You know all things before we even ask it, but because You want us to ask in our relationship with You, we ask Father to come boldly before your throne of Grace and we ask today that You cloth and dress Your children, and all of those on the side of Christ to be Armored in Light. We stand before You Father and ask for You to send your Holy Angels into the firmament to war against the powers of darkness and protect us with the Light of Christ as we move and know Your will be done. Father thank You so much for who You are and the gift You give to us of LIFE.
In Christ Jesus name I pray today, Amen! www.youtube.com/v/8welVgKX8Qo&hl=en
Romans 13 ~ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenge to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Oh, no. I didn't know there was one. Is that a blog tour? I guess they're using that for promotion. I haven't heard from Faithwords in a long long time, so I don't know what they're doing. I assumed nothing. But hey! This is great. :) I'll take what I can get!
Please come and visit my new page. I was given my purpose and that is to reach out as Christ did when He came to earth to lead us by an example. That our Father in heavens will can be done in and through us if we would only surrender and hand it all to Him. I finally did just that. He is my all in all and everything in between. Please pray daily and intercede for those who are placed upon your heart. You also can be with your Father in heaven just as Christ went to Him. Choose Life today and God's way. That road is beautiful, full of peace, and love will fill your heart and make you whole. You will be prepared and equipped for anything that the world throws at you. You will be given life eternal, sealed and ready. I pray for you all, with love. Your friend and sister in Christ. Kelly (Karonhienh'a:wi)
Hi, praying that your day is filled, with love, faith, joy and laughter.
ONLY THE LORD HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED! WHY WASTE TIME PURSUE THAT WHICH WILL ALWAYS RESULT IN HEART ACHE AND PAIN?!
Christ died that you might have everything you need in this world and in the one to come. He is calling you to come drink from the fountain of His intoxicating love. To come spent time in His throne room basking in His relentless overpowering, life changing love and mercy, which flows like a river from His heart. He is EVERYTHING you need. He desires that you always have enough. Enough love, power, authority, healing, food etc. Enough of everything that pertains to life and godliness in this earth. Enough to cause the world to see the likeness of Jesus in you. The question is, are you dead enough to the world to receive all the provisions that exist for you in Christ? The only way forward in the Christian life is to humble oneself and get low enough that you are totally desperate for God. As desperate as a drowning man fighting for air. Just as desperate as Jesus was to do the will of the Father, to only speak and act on the words of the Father. As desperate as the early Church was to continue what Jesus started. So very desperate to be like Jesus that you cannot be satisfied with anything less than being a flame of fire blazing for His glory. The good news, of the gospel of the kingdom of God, to those in need looks like salvation to the sinner, food to the hungry, strength to the weak, power for the downtrodden, provisions for the destitute. Christ is enough peace and wholeness of life for spirit, soul, and body for all those who are desperate enough to rebel against the world and its master and follow Him to the cross where you died with Him. Then raise up in the newness of life which He has already provided for you. A life filled with His Spirit, brightly shining the light of His presence throughout the earth. When we are not salty tasty morsels of enlightenment. We will be dreadfully trampled under the feet of the world and its master. Matthew 5:13-16.
May your life be filled with beautiful blessings and the dynamite power of the Holy Spirit to cause an explosion of God's glorious presence were every He leads you.
DIRECT GUIDANCE FROM GOD
Elijah was a man with the same passions we have and yet His communication with God was
a supernatural occurrence because he dared to draw near to God with an undivided heart. James 5:17. Those who believe and are totally surrendered to the will of the Father will seek and to be filled with the fullness of Him. Jesus prayed that we be one with Him , in spiritual unity with Him just as He is in spiritual unity with the Father. John 17:20-26. Paul Prayed that we might be filled with the fullness of God. Filled with the love, knowledge, wisdom and power of God. Ephesians 1:16; Ephesians 3:14; Colossians 1:9-11.
WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?
God does this so that the world may know that the Father send Jesus and that He loves and works in and through us just as He did Jesus. We in undivided surrender to the will of the Father are to allow the Holy Spirit total control. Nothing held back. We seek and are empowered by God's Spirit by faith. We are to speak and act by the instructions of the Spirit of God only.1 Corinthians 1:5. Who teaches us all things. John 14:26; 1 John 2:27; Luke 12:12. It is the Spirit that causes us to understand the deep things of God. We are enriched by God's Spirit in our knowledge, our speech and our actions, proving valid the truth of His intentions for those who choose to believe Him before the whole world. The Spirit of God however does not force or drive one into wild compulsive neurotic actions. He ministers to us and through us in gentle dove like actions. He strengthens our weak human personality and empowers us to do His will. (The works of Jesus.) He does not over power us or force us. The issue at stake here is that we may be fulled with His fullness and through that fullness at work within us Christ is glorified. The main purpose of this is that He may bring other people under the Lordship of Christ by the powerful effectual working of His Spirit in our lives.
Our Father desires that we come short in no gift that will enable us to be as Jesus every day of our lives that we remain on earth. Is this obtainable? Of course it is or our Father would not ask it of us. He says, He has ask nothing of us that is to hard for us to do. He freely offers us the fullness of Himself to do it with. We struggle and worry about what we can't do. Instead of accepting what we can do by the power of His Spirit and doing it. God commands us to pursue love and desire all the Spiritual gifting that He has provide for us to live, love, look and act like Jesus.
1Corinthian14:1, 12:1-7. Even that we may do the greater works which Jesus assures us are ours to do, if we are believers. John 14:12. God's says be strong, ( in the power of My might Ephesians 6:10) bold and of good courage for I will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 28:1; Philippians 1:14; Ephesians 6:19.
May you be filled each day with the knowledge of God's will with all wisdom and spiritual understanding. And be wiser than the enemy, yet harmless as doves in your expression of His love. May the fullness of His Spirit continually fill your life.
