My husband and children are both my greatest blessing and greatest ministry opportunity. Caring for them is a privilege bestowed upon me as wife and mother.<\/p>\n<p>I believe God simultaneously called Kevin and me into ministry. Kevin\u2019s calling was clear \u2013 he is a pastor. I, on the other hand, took years to recognize the specific areas in which I was equipped and called serve. I believe that God has called me to meet Kevin\u2019s needs, to meet the needs of our children, and to serve Him personally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GUEST POST FROM STACEY WEEKS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Pile of Stones<\/p>\n<p>Often, the things I am studying in the bible make their way into my novels. At the time of writing Fatal Homecoming, I was reading the book of Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>In Joshua chapter four, Joshua describes the pile of stones the Israelites built as a memorial to God. Those stones were evidence of the Lord\u2019s provision for them. The monument was a reminder to future generations that God had delivered his people.<\/p>\n<p>In Fatal Homecoming, Jessie needs to remember God\u2019s provision. She wears a unique pendant passed down through the women of her family. Her necklace is comprised of river stones that represent the rocks from Joshua. They are to remind that God always meets His children in their moment of need.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-24050\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fatal-homecoming-giveaway-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fatal-homecoming-giveaway-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fatal-homecoming-giveaway-300x300-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Shortly after writing this necklace into Fatal Homecoming crisis struck a good friend of mine. As our church gathered around a suffering family to love and support them in their time of need, I decided to make a real pendant of stones to give to my friend to remind her and to remind me that God meets every need in His time and in His way.<\/p>\n<p>The pendant of stones can be strung on a necklace or keychain. It is more than words on paper and more than a pile of rocks strung on a string. It was a reference point. They mark where God gave me a story to share so that others may know and believe.<\/p>\n<p>If you are the lucky winner of this pendant of stones, I pray that every time you look at it, touch it, and feel the weight of it around your neck that you will remember to believe that your God is good. Always.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stacey has also gifted all the blog readers with a short story to download.
