waiting

This past weekend I pitched…I threw out my book idea for one agent and two publishing houses. The pitch sounded much different than the one I posted earlier. It was simple, but direct. Want to know what I said? “Hi nice to meet you, I am Angela Mackey. I am writing a non-fiction Christian book…

Yesterday I shared a time when God was speaking to me. Today I want to help you determine how do you know it is God speaking? 1. God’s way takes us out of our comfort zones so that we cannot do it on our own strength. I was confident as a teacher of God’s word…

I am in a waiting period in my infertility journey, but many of you are in a season of going. Going involves a different kind of waiting. When we are going, we wait for doctors, test results, social workers, or parental rights to be revoked. This waiting is filled with hope, expectation, and possibility. During…
