From the Publisher's Desk

Greetings,

This is one of my favorite times of the year: Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. I am pleased to say that 2009 has yielded some changes that I did not seek after. I came to the table with no hidden agendas or motives on how to proceed as a writer and speaker. God has clearly orchestrated these events in my life. Knowing that He orders my footsteps, I wrote this entry in my prayer journal after returning home from one of those events:

"Now Dad I'm trusting you to send me where you want me. I have no hidden agendas or motives. I will humble myself under your mighty hand, and you will exalt me in due time."

Guess what? God has done it again. He has orchestrated more assignments for me in the upcoming 2010 new year. One has been confirmed, and two are pending confirmation. I'm learning what it really means to let go and let God. God will let us know when it's "R" time.

So here's my question to you. "What time is it?" My response, "It's "R" Time." It's "R" time as writers and speakers to arise and shine to give God All the Glory using these principles:

(1) Renew our minds by the Word of God. In doing so, we will prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God is for us.

(2) Refresh our spirits so that our hands will write the dictates of our hearts.

(3)Restore the joy of our salvation as we share your Word through writing and speaking.

(4)Revive (infuse) us with Your strength and power because it's not about us.

(5)Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say rejoice.

Let's rejoice and thank God for all of His bountiful blessings (past, present and future) during the holiday seasons and upcoming new year.

Write On!

Happy Writing,

Claudia N. Tynes
