A Walk Down Inspiration Lane by Marianne Evans

Marianne Evans
Just for fun, I thought I’d change things up a bit this month. I enjoy exploring encouraging topics, and sharing insights that help me to move forward as a happily engaged author, but this month I felt called to share something a bit more ‘visual’ in nature.

And then there’s the Biblical pathway to life, and love. Check out these verses. They’re awesome!


Last, but certainly not least, here are a couple chuckles that truly place a fine point on the life of a writer. Who here can relate? 




Do you have any ‘pearls of insight’ you’d like to share? I’d love to hear them! Meanwhile, a happy journey to you all, keep aiming, keep praying, and keep pushing, for the God we serve is awesome indeed!
