dream
i want you to be the first to know:
a dream
one that began on my heart as a young girl
to report like deborah norville
or write like anne shirley of green gables.
over the years with my Father directing my steps and giving what gifts He has given me back to Him,
i'm delighted to share this dream with you.
this chapter began winter 2009 as i met my friend and co-author, courtney belle bullard, at a writer's conference in nashville. as the only two girls on the writer's team, we developed a quick friendship that has resulted in sharing similar dreams and passions to speak truth into the lives of women and young girls.
courtney lives in oklahoma with her husband, steve, and daughter, francesca. she also operates I.D. Ministries, an organization that helps teenage girls find their identity and purpose in Christ.
The Same Page: Living Your Happily Ever After
together, we have used our experience as moms, daughters, writers, speakers, and leaders to imaginatively create a story between a mother and daughter. The Same Page is a flip book with one side telling the story from a teenage daughter’s perspective and the other from a mother’s viewpoint. this book goes beyond a fictional tale and weaves journal questions for the reader. tate publishers has partnered to help make this tale a reality.
our vision
what is not speaking into the hearts and minds of teenage girls and moms today? no wonder it’s so hard to listen to God’s voice and His alone. there are so many voices out there trying to get our attention. courtney and i want to be another voice of truth speaking in the mind, heart of girls of all ages - yes, through a fanciful tale. it’s good to escape into a tale to discover truths about yourself in addition to hearing ‘current reality’ speak to you in forms of a friend, a pastor, family.
living your happily ever after
“I know I am living my happily ever after!” ysabel thinks to herself. courtney and i believe our ‘happily ever after’ begins when we accept the King’s gift of salvation. the most beautiful and redemptive stories are the ones when we embrace His truths and live them out in our heart, home, community, gifts, and the world.
