Make It a Priority to Get Your Rest

, by

  “The LORD replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest’” (Exodus 33:14 NIV). I yawned  and groaned as I glanced at my goals and my to-do list. Instead of getting shorter, the lists seemed to be growing—exponentially. The past year had been insanely demanding. In a regular year I would have worked a job, invested time into writing on evenings and weekends, and farmed my small acreage. Enough to keep a single woman hopping. But this last year I added designing a cottage and barn to build on my farm. Then I acted as…

NEW RELEASE: AUGUST 2015 – GREAT HORSE STORIES FOR GIRLS BY REBECCA E. ONDOV

, by

Have you ever noticed that many girls are horse-crazy? Through true-life devotionals of her horses, author Rebecca Ondov uses the “Horse Craziness” to share God’s love in a fun way, plant seeds of faith into girls’ hearts, and to help them know that they are treasured by God Himself. The stories bloom as Rebecca runs an experiment with a foal to see if it would interact with her—while it was still in the womb. And it did!

So, summer is officially over for me. I’m a school administrator by day. When I peel back my shirt and run to the nearest phone booth after work (who has those anymore?), that’s when the big “W” on my chest appears. Super Writer!

Particularly if you have girls in your midst….

Tips from the Pros: Rebecca Ondov

Greetings from Sarah Sundin in California! I pray you had a bountiful Thanksgiving with family and friends. Today I have the honor of interviewing Rebecca Ondov, who turned her extensive experience as a horseback guide and Ranger into the book Horse Tales from Heaven. Rebecca, how did you get into writing? For years I’d been working from the saddle in the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana, taking people on horse pack trips. During the winter of 1992 when I was “out of the hills” and working an off-season job, I reached in my mailbox and pulled out a Guideposts magazine….
