Eight months ago, as I scrolled through my Facebook feed, I stumbled upon Serious Writer’s announcement about their upcoming retreat in TUSCANY, ITALY! Initially, I dismissed the post, but as the day progressed, I felt a persistent nudge from the Lord, urging me to take a leap of faith and reserve my spot on the trip. Fast-forward to today, and I have returned from my epic Italian adventure with my heart overflowing after a week of networking, learning, and eating, followed by another week of exploring and making my dreams come true!Click the link to read about my time on the Serious Writer Retreat - inspire-truth.com/adventures-in-italy-serious-writer-retreat/#adventuresinitaly #seriouswriter #switaly23 #italy #tuscany #adventure #travelblog #travel #inspiretruth #traveldiaries ...

There is a reason this series is called Timeless! Gabrielle Meyer brings history to life with yet another fabulous time-crossing narrative with not two but THREE time periods!!In This Moment is one of those books that will leave readers speechless yet simultaneously desperate to shout its praise from the top of a mountain! I wasn’t sure how Gabrielle Meyer would juggle three time periods without making things confusing, but she did a PHENOMENAL job immersing me in the sights, sounds, emotions, and history of each era without leaving me feeling overwhelmed. I knew exactly what was happening and felt excited at the start of each chapter when Maggie would wake in one of her three lives. Though Maggie was unquestionably the shining star with her selflessness and unwavering desire to help others, the supporting characters were equally enchanting and relatable. Like Maggie, I also struggled to determine which life she should choose because they all had qualities that made them great choices. In the end, I think she made a perfect choice, though that’s all I’m going to say about that! ;)Click the link to read my full review - inspire-truth.com/in-this-moment/#bethanyhouse #inthismoment #historicalfiction #newrelease #netgalley #gabriellemeyer #favorite #bookstagram #mustread #bookreview #inspiretruth ...

Where would we be if it wasn’t for the Lord’s provision, protection, and presence in our lives?The other morning, I was meditating on Psalm 124 when the lyrics to Billy Connolly’s quirky yet surprisingly wise song “If it Wassne for Your Wellies” came to mind. In the song, Billy Connolly humorously sings about the consequences of forgetting to put on your wellies (rain boots) before stepping outside.“If it wisnae fur yer wellies / Wherewud you be? / You'd be in the hospital / Or in firmary; Cause you wid hive a dose o the flu / Or even plurasie; If it wissne fur yer feet in yer wellies!” ~ Billy Connolly (If it Wassne for Your Wellies)Similarly, just as a wrong shoe choice can expose us to the elements, when we neglect to clothe ourselves in the armor of God each morning, we leave ourselves open to the enemy’s schemes of distracting us away from the Lord.I don’t want to think about what life would look like without the Lord’s presence by my side. However, reading this Psalm reminded me that unless I invest my time nurturing my relationship with Him and actively adorning His armor before starting my day, the consequences could be worse than catching “a dose o the flu.”So, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening when you read this, let it be a gentle reminder to PUT ON YOUR WELLIES (armor of God) today!"If the Lord had not been on our side…Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." ~ Psalm 124:1,8inspire-truth.com/word-of-encouragement-psalm-124/#wordofencouragement #psalm #billyconnolly #wellies #verseoftheday #comedy #bible #inspiretruth #scottish #celtic #rainboots #spring ...

Happy Shavuot/Pentecost!! This feast holds incredible significance as we commemorate the extraordinary events at Mount Sinai and Jerusalem when the Lord gave His people the Torah and later filled them with His Spirit. Through Yeshua’s fulfillment of Passover and Firstfruits, we have been restored to a covenant relationship with Him, and we now have the ultimate teacher to lead us as we earnestly seek the Lord for guidance. I can’t wait to spend this momentous day fellowshipping with other believers, offering my heartfelt worship and thanksgiving as we give all praise and glory to our Messiah! What are your plans for today? #shavuot #pentecost #springfeasts #spring #feasts #feastsoftheLord #inspiretruth #holyspirit #yeshua #jesus #praise ... See MoreSee Less

Stepping into the unknown is initially terrifying; however, once we take that final step, we are overcome with relief and excitement when we see what awaits us on the other side. Growing up, I had to be dragged out of my comfort zone. I remember going to Disney World with my parents and refusing to go on anything beyond the teacups and Dumbo ride — they had to get security to carry me into Beauty and the Beast because I was so scared. Yet, looking back, that day was a massive lesson in learning that things aren’t always as scary as they seem. Each show and ride my parents wrestled me into became my favorite. Like our Heavenly Father, they knew what I needed better than I did, and once I settled, I was grateful for my parent’s defiance and the new experiences.Unfortunately, it’s taken a while for this lesson to sink in. There are still instances where fear chains me in place, but a determination has also sprouted inside me to take a chance and do the things that scare me. And guess what? Like my time at Disney World, whenever I conquer my fears (which only means False. Expectation. Appearing. Real), I am so thankful that I didn’t miss out on all the Lord had for me. From rides at Disney World to my first solo adventure in Italy, fear has attempted to hold me back, but not anymore!So, if you're struggling to trust that the path God’s leading you on is the right one, I want to encourage you to take that step of faith and watch what happens. Take it from me; everything the Father does is for a purpose. He knows what we need better than we do, so why should we fear the path ahead?Click the link to read more words of encouragement: inspire-truth.com/word-of-encouragement-psalm-112-6-8/#wordofencouragement #psalm #verseoftheday #inspiretruth ...

Famous for a Living is a fun, quirky, feel-good, humorous contemporary novel I thoroughly enjoyed reading! The story hit all the right spots, including a surprisingly impactful message about savoring the moment rather than looking at it through a phone screen to capture for social media. Melissa Ferguson did a great job with each character arc. Zaiah was the perfect romantic interest, and Cat’s personal growth was inspiring. I loved their meet-cute and how their relationship developed from misunderstanding to mutual respect. While romcoms aren’t typically known to include transformative life lessons, Famous for a Living left me pondering my attachment to my phone and social media. In a world where most things are only a tap away, it’s challenging to disconnect, but Cat’s journey into the wilderness provided a valuable lesson I hope to hold onto. Perhaps it’s time to plan my own mountain getaway 😉Fans of The Cul-de-Sac War and Meet Me in the Margins will undoubtedly enjoy Melissa Ferguson’s latest release. I believe it’s her best writing to date!*Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with a pre-release copy of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own*Click the link to read more: inspire-truth.com/famous-for-a-living/#famousforaliving #newrelease #contemporary #fiction #romcom #melissaferguson #romance #womensfiction #inspiretruth ...
