About the Author

Janet Benlien Reeves was born and raised in Southern California, but she has spent most of her adult life moving from home to home as an Army chaplain’s wife. She and her husband, now retired from the military, have also lived in Missouri, Maine, New York, the Netherlands, South Carolina, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, and Washington State.

As Janet and her husband traveled from home to home, six children joined their adventure. Four are grown; one is married. Now three darling children call Janet “Memaw.”

Janet has worked as a Sunday school curriculum editor and freelance writer. She recently earned her MA in Professional Writing and her MFA in Creative Writing from Liberty University. She has written two books: Home Is Where God Sends You and Parachute Prayer.

Janet enjoys reading, running, exploring the great outdoors, and making pictures with her camera.

Her life has no meaning without Jesus; His life means salvation, love, hope, peace, and joy to her—and so much more! She believes the future is bright because no matter what we’re facing now, God is with us, God does love us, and God has promised that His plans for us are good. Janet writes to make this message known, so others can know God.

A few days ago, though, I encountered one of those success stories of God helping one of His children realize a long-held dream. I discovered the story because I had seen reviews of a new author’s first novel online a few years ago and added it to my TBR. Then, a few weeks ago, I saw reviews of her second novel which reminded me I still want to read the first. I moved that novel to the top of my list and then looked to see if our library had it. Somewhere in the process, I discovered that before she wrote either of these books, this author wrote a book on prayer. * I purchased it to read right away—and did so! I was surprised to discover that the author had self-published this 38-...

No Worry Anymore

I don’t want to worry anymore. Don’t want to fear the phone call, the bill, arriving unexpected by mail, the month left at the end of the money, the unseen predator, the crisis not mine, but mine to fix or forever wonder if my two mites could have made the difference after all, at last, the natural disaster, the unnatural disaster caused by consequences unintended, unforeseen. I don’t want to worry about any thing, any more. And so, I give all of this worry unworthy to You Who sees only and all real threats to me coming, no surprise, no problem, only gracious provision preprepared . * * * I wrote this post for the Five-Minute Friday Link-Up.

Noise

Clutter is noise to the eye A cacophony of chaos That distracts Forces lids shut Like hands over ears Desperate for focus nowhere Yet everywhere to be found Too many choices Eyes need a place to land Clean up clutter Clear view Clear mind Find peace Breathe deep See clear
