They would leave together.
Hand in hand.
Alone, yet together on this journey. She was leaving behind all she’d ever known.
Her mother, sweet and tender.
Her father, hard and stubborn, yet she knew he loved her.
The man with her, Augustus, a Roman by birth, married her in secret in the home of Tehal, who’d been healed of her affliction by the touch of a garment.
Could she trust her future to this man with kind eyes and a caring heart?
She felt that she could, knowing they were both called to the open road.

I really like the sounds of this one…my mind is wondering what happens next 😉 (Just saying…next book, perhaps?) God Bless!

Actually, it is. It’s a Bible-based novella, or maybe novel if my brain conjures up enough words to go with it. I have about eight chapters so far, but I’m so nervous to write it because I don’t feel…dare I say it? Righteous or holy enough to give it justice. And the research for it is time consuming, but I don’t want to be so research heavy that it distracts from the story. I really think some of those who read my blog (including you) will like this one.

Go for it! Honestly, we will never be where we think we should be. We just have to do it (talking to myself here as well!! I’m so behind on everything and have been neglecting my blog…) And everything we undertake has the to potential to bring us closer to where we want to be in our walk. God Bless!
