But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray. ~Luke 5:15 NASB
Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, And gather you from the west. ~Isaiah 43:5 NASB
These things I have spoken to you to that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. ~John 16:33 NASB
There are a lot of troubling things going on all over the world right now. Whether you agree or disagree with decisions being made, I think we can all agree that the current state of affairs is troubling. As we watch events unfold we cannot help but think and worry about the impacts on your personal world. Our families and friends, our workplaces and places we visit all are feeling the effects.
I am in the midst of many changes in my personal life and the decisions often seem overwhelming. However, I trust the one who has the answers even when he doesn’t reveal them to me. I talk a lot about this in my memoir ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ which was just published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available on Amazon.
I have to remind myself that I am not truly alone and there are others struggling with decisions and impacts as well. I think we have a couple of options:
Do not rejoiceย over me, enemyย of mine.

Thoughย I fallย I will rise;
Thoughย I liveย in darkness, the LORDย is a lightย for me.
~Micah 7:8
Although not officially released my memoir ๐๐ผ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ก๐ผ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฟ๐ is now available to purchase through pre-sale on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com – go order a copy today!
My publisher Christian Faith Publishing is currently converting the book to the various E-book formats to upload soon. They are also creating a video trailer for the book and a press release to go out to thousands of media outlets including bloggers, journalists, newspapers, television and radio stations, websites and book reviewers. When the press release goes out that will be the “official release” for the book, but why wait?
Again, you can now purchase the book online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
Soon I will be offering autographed copies through my website here, along with some other promotional events and giveaways to compliment the book. Stay tuned for that!
P.S. – I am planning an audio version of the book to be available soon also!
Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement!
Go live your dreams because there is life after…
~Mark (Exodus 15:3)

Sometimes you just need to slow down and breathe in the moment. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and with everything going on around the publication of my memoir. The other evening I was blessed to go out to the barn with my wife and daughter. It was a quiet evening just the three of us and the horses, those are the times and the memories I cherish.
As we approach the upcoming release of my memoir > ๐พ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ค๐ฎ๐จ ๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐พ๐ง๐ฎ as a precursor I encourage you to take a listen to the conversation with Ronit Plank as a guest on her podcast ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ last January talking about life, death, grief and healing.

Do not allow a spirit of fear to run your life for you are more than a conquer in Jesus! ๐
Yeshua tells us in this world we will have trouble but he has overcome the world. Better yet he is coming back with all of heavens army.
I really like this black and white alternative image of the cover to my #UpcomingBook! I still like the colored version best but this definitely gives it an interesting feel. What do you think?

My #memoir will soon be published by Christian Faith Publishing and hopefully will be available within the next month or so.

I share my personal journey of carrying grief and healing, while navigating my own personal and the societal expectations surrounding grief that are often placed upon men.
I can’t wait for both men and the women who love their men in their lives, to read it as it is ultimately a story of hope and healing. 
I also believe my story will speak to some ladies out there as well.

After over three years of writing, rewriting, editing and rewriting again, I signed with Christian Faith Publishing last fall to publish my memoir. After further rounds of edits, proofreading, typesetting, interior page design and finally the cover design you see above. My book is almost a reality. I am waiting, somewhat patiently and anxiously for the first print copies of my book to arrive for review. I should be receiving them in the next couple of weeks and then it is onto publishing with a press release, video trailer and social media package. It is hard to believe the reality of it all.
So tell me what you think of the cover? And please share the tweet below, thanks!

And the Best Thing You Can Do with Death Is to Ride off from It?
#Memoir #CoverReveal #UpcomingBook #WritersLife #WritingCommunity #Author
As I navigate the publishing waters and my upcoming #memoir I find myself often at the edge of this proverbial cliff wondering if I truly have the wings to fly.
The doubts assail me that my story, the good and bad, the pretty and ugly will soon all be out there for everyone to see (read.) Not to mention is it any good and does anyone really want to hear my story. Will it make a difference? To just one?
To paraphrase lyrics from the TSO song Epiphany – when you stand at the edge of a cliff and your mind wonders if you should take one more step.
Your mind often says you won’t but your heart says you might. #Quote #Motivation #LiveYourDreams

I am choosing to take that step, into the unknown and a future that is fraught with fear but also the possibilities. Touch one life and you just may touch the world, ripples ya know!
PS – I will be revealing the cover of my memoir ๐พ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ค๐ฎ๐จ ๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐พ๐ง๐ฎ next Tuesday, July 27 here on WordPress and across all my other social media accounts, watch for it!
