A New Friend in the Kid's Book Family


I am so excited to be releasing my second children's book next week! I never thought that I would be writing kids books. I started writing these whimsical stories during church services at Abundant Life. There is truly an anointing of creativity that gets activated in God's presence. 

Our God has the best creative ideas. Look at the world around and you can see His detail. He places that same heart in each of us so we can live full, fun lives. We should have fun and think outside of the box in life. Well, that process was stirred in me a couple of years ago and it has continued since then. It's a little funny because I don't typically think quite like these books. I'm slightly more straight laced when it comes to books and the reading material I choose. I guess that's God's way of showing that His perfect will for us isn't always what we think it will be. I love serving a God that continually surprises me with new abilities and creative moments. 

Ellie the Elephant is an adventurous character that wants to fulfill her dreams. She climbs mountains and finds sweet treats along the way. She and her friend, who is ironically a mouse, have a blast as they find out that their dreams can come true.  

I can't wait to share this story with you on September 10. It will be available via ebook. So get those readers ready!
