Today I read Deuteronomy 5 and 6, I’ve been reading 2 chapters each day now since I got into Deuteronomy 🙂

Hey! Yep, I’m still doing this! I’m fine with bumping it down to one or two chapters a day. Maybe we can tweak the amount we read depending on what book we’re in (like if it’s a shorter book we could read a few more pages a day)

Honestly, I write some of both, but more often than not I’m working on a contemporary romance 😁. Recently I’ve sprinkled in some fantasy too. And same, I always feel like the only romance writer! It’s awesome to meet another one!!

*pops in from nowhere* Hello! I’m Marie and I’m very excited to meet another romance writer!

I love clean book and movie recommendations! Some topics I’d personally be interested in are tips on spreading the Gospel, maybe something about keeping things from becoming idols, or how to glorify God in everything we do. Those are j…[Read more]

Something God has really been opening my eyes to these past few days is keeping an eternal view. I worry and focus so much on what is temporary, treating it as if it matters the most. A few nights ago I read 2 Corinthians 4, and it really resonated with me. Paul and the other apostles went through so much: scoffing, ridiculing,…[Read more]

Yep, I read Genesis 49, 50, and Exodus 1 today! It’s working great for me!

Hi! I’m joining YWW today, so it’s funny that this came up! I love this idea!

I’ll submit my character Alyssa; she’s a sixteen year old girl in a contemporary rom-com that I haven’t written but floats around in my head constantly XD

It’s nice to meet you Natalie! I’m hoping to write more this weekend too; I actually just got done with a sprint 😁

I thought Abraham’s love for Lot was admirable. From letting Lot choose where he wanted to go to keep peace between them (when they had to separate), to coming to save Lot after he’d been taken captive—I thought it was good.

So true!

Also, for the first time I noticed how much rebellion was actually in the picture—especially in Esau. I never…

Sorry, messed up the tag 😅  ^^

Hey guys! Just wanted to hear anyone’s thoughts on what we’ve read so far! (If I’m right we’ve read through Genesis 30? Please correct me if I’m wrong XD) Any verses/chapters stand out to you?

I’m doing my reading on the Bible Project app so I can read their notes and hyperlinks along with…[Read more]

I just joined! Hopefully it’ll force me to get words on paper XD

Also I don’t think we’ve met, so hello! I’m Marie (@Marie Amos on CWW) 😁

I started a bit late, but I’m just about caught up, Three a day works for me! 😁

I think KP ate my post… if it pops up twice sorry 🤣

I just looked up your blog! Definitely gonna be trying that fudge recipe, I love fudge so much XD

Fine with me! 😁

I’m fine with what everyone else wants to do! Three chapters a day sounds good to me, but if that be too much for people’s schedules we could do one or two chapters instead

I’m so sorry she’s in so much pain. I am and will continue to be praying for her to be healed!

I never really do resolutions either, but this year I feel like intentionally setting things to work on in my life will be beneficial so I’m trying it

Going deeper in my relationship with Jesus, obviously. And growing specifically in the area of prayer.

Yes, same! 👏

I want to get better at verbal communication. I’ve noticed that esp…

Here are a few of mine:

-Work on sharing the Gospel with others

-Finish the first draft of a novel

-Get better at drawing full bodies instead of just head’s lol

-Set an achie…[Read more]

That’s so true! I’ve never really thought about that, but that would be fun! I’ll have to keep that in mind 😁

Art is my other big hobby (I’d like to make a career out of it; my dream job would be to have an animated Christian show or a Christian comic <3)

Other than that, I like reading, singing, learning about apologetics, playing piano, and daydreaming about my charries 😊

Hi Sara! You’re totally fine! It’s nice to meet you too, and I can’t wait to get to know you more! 😁

Yes, bring on the questions!:

Favorite season?

Winter all the way; no bugs (not many at least), Christmas, and cold weather? Yes please 😁

Would you own a fire-breathing cat?

Yesss! I’d name him Ash and he would be my portable microwave XD

Have you ever tried climbing a palm tree? (I don’t recommend it)

I can’t say I have lol
<…[Read more]

Thanks! I’m really excited 😁

I’m totally cool with whatever schedule we all decide on, and I think discussions afterwards would be great!

God gave me Psalm 23 for 2023, and it’s been so cool to see how He really has led me to places of rest and refreshment. 2022 was a bit of a rough year for me, but I love looking back at this year and seeing all the ways He guided me into healing and rest.

That’s awesome that God has brought you rest! He’s recently taught me a lot a…[Read more]

I struggle with that too! I’m glad He’s showing you how to handle it better. I also have OCD, so I think that impacts what I stress over a lot.

I’m not sure if I have OCD, but I definitely have some of the symptoms, and that may be why I worry about that so much too. Not sure, but the Lord is helping me to not stress as much and to kn…[Read more]

Nahim is my fav charrie. He’s a warrior in a nation called the Realn (pronounced Ree-eln).

Ooh, cool! He sounds super interesting!

Have you ever interviewed veterans? It’s nerve-racking, but I learned a lot!

I haven’t, but that would be very cool!

Okay, I’ve never even touched a Great Dane actually.

Honestly I never thought I would either.…[Read more]

Hello! I’m new on KP, but could I join too? I think this is such a good idea, and I’d love to be a part of it!

You can call me Marie btw 😊

People have tried to get me to try eating bugs before, I just can’t 😂

aww, Hugo; he just sounds pure ☺️

I don’t have a blog, and I do have Pinterest but I don’t post anything on there, my username is @ThineMe  🙂

Hi hybridlore! It’s nice to meet you too! Can’t wait to get to know you, and I definitely already love it here! 😁

Hi Esther! It’s nice to meet you!

My favorite book (besides the Bible, always number one <3) is currently “Beach Haven” by T.I. Lowe. My favorite author is probably either Toni Shiloh, Kristi Ann Hunter, or Becky Wade (all Christian romance authors)

Captain Smek from “Home”, Steve Martin is absolutely iconic 😂

I’d love to go to Pa…[Read more]

Nice to meet you Trailblazer!

Yes to a Fanta float lol (Sorry root beer, but you’re the problem) 😂

And now for the questions:

I read and write romance, but I’ve recently been reading Biblical fiction as well 🙂

Darth Vader. He is my Christmas tradition. I have an ornament of him on my tree that quotes him, so every year I kno…[Read more]

Hi Bridget! I have many, many lists of names saved on Pinterest that will probably never be used 😂

For the question: yes, I agree that it’s soda. I’m probably in the minority of what I drink though, because I’m a Pepsi lover (to top it off I drink diet. I understand if you’re offended lol)

It’s nice to meet you too! &#x1…

Hi Arcane Axiom! Nice to meet you!

For trope preferences, I think I’m pretty basic 😂. I like enemies to lovers the most, grumpy x sunshine is my favorite. I’m actually not a huge fan of love triangles, but I have nothing against them. Not sure if this is basic or not, but I enjoy the occasional age gap (as long as it’s nothi…[Read more]

Hi Allison! Yes to trying weird food 😂, what’s the weirdest food you’ve ever tried? (Mine would probably have to be Calamari, it’s so good 😋)

As for the questions:

Definitely the Bible, then probably “Beach Haven” by T.I. Lowe, and “My Stubborn Heart” by Becky Wade.

I’m not a fan of sports, but when the opportunity arises I like t…[Read more]

Nice to meet you too! That’s so cool that you guys have a shared fantasy universe, I’d so do that if anyone I knew would be interested 😂

Hi Ruee!

I am not offended that you don’t like jello (Honestly, I don’t like it as much as I used too), as long as you aren’t offended that I don’t like root beer floats. Most everyone I know loves them, except me 😂

I love your character’s name, it’s so unique! I’m one of those people who searches up “340 unique baby names” on the i…[Read more]

My favorite color is a tie between sage green and sunflower yellow

Oh, if I had to guess… at least 200? Possibly less, plausibly more 😂

I enjoy writing in third person the most, but dabble in first on occasion

Characters, definitely. I write more realistic fiction most of the time, so admittedly I tend to skip a l…[Read more]

I’m a self proclaimed artist and writer, a semi-avid reader (I daydream about my own stories more often than actually picking up a book 😂), and a wholly devout Christ follower.

I’m so excited to be a part of this community and get to know everyone!
