With the change of seasons to cool mornings, I’m trying to take some of my own advice and follow along in my new devotional book and its companion journal:

I Need The Light! 26 Weekly Devotionals to Help You Through Winter

And

I Need The Light! Companion Journal and Diary.

In case you haven’t purchased your copies yet, here’s a sneak peek at Week 1

The Scripture for Week 1 is Genesis 1:1-5.  It’s about God creating the Heavens and the Earth and light. By the power of His word – “Let there be light! – and there was light!

I can’t imagine life without light, which leads me to think that people who have been blind all their lives probably can’t imagine what light is.

Thos of us in the northern hemisphere are entering the time of the year when natural light and the warmth it brings is in short supply. Those of us with Seasonal Affective Disorder and Fibromyalgia are not fond of cold weather. In fact, it is difficult for me to enjoy the beauty of fall because I’m dreading winter.

I need the natural light to help set my circadian clock and combat the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder, but I need Jesus Christ – The Light of the World! – for all aspects of my life. He is my Rock and my Salvation.

Look for my books on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. You should also be able to find them at your favorite independent bookstore, such as Second Look Books in Harrisburg, NC; Blue Ridge Books in Waynesville, NC; and Highland Books in Brevard, NC.

Some independent bookstores refuse to sell books that are self-published, but I know the three I listed above have ordered copies. Please support them!

Each week in my devotional book includes a recipe for a food that brings me comfort. Week 1 has my mother’s recipe for Drop Biscuits. Yum! I think I need to go to the kitchen right now and make biscuits!
