Do you find that in a day that is designed for 10 things, you do 20 because you are wonder woman or captain america? You are tired, but you can handle it. Let me just say that this is not your calling, One of the things you have to learn to say is NO.
God will not call you to be so busy you don’t have time for this gift He has given you called life. I think we get so wrapped up in other people’s callings that we wear ourselves out trying to accomplish things that we were not meant to do. Learn to say no so some stuff that looks good so that you can get what is better. One of the things I prayed for was a spirit of discernment. Lord, teach me what to do and when to do it.
Since I have let go of other people’s callings, God has taken me places I never would have imagined. I stopped trying to be what others wanted me to be. I began to embrace the things God called me to. I have found myself doing several things I never thought I could do. In the next two weeks I will meet new challenges as an artist, as a photographer, as a writer and as a jesus follower. I am amused and scared at the same time.
One of my ahha moments this year was that God has a different idea of what success looks like that does not always match mine. Sometimes God just wants us to try some new stuff. Some of us are so caught up in the same ol same ol that we won’t try anything new without a good reason. (I know from which I speak)
I have been on this journey with God for a while. I have not looked up to Him and said “Lord, I’m bored.” Kinda like a kid on an amusement park ride, there have been days I have asked to be taken off the crazy ride or to slow it down. It is like when you start trying to teach your baby to walk. Some of them find it scary because they fall and their legs are so unsure. Once they get used to it they appreciate the new ability.
God is the same way. There is so much He wants to teach us, but we get so scared we sit in the floor and say “I am not ever going to do that, it is too scary.” But God knows that once we trust Him and get the hang of it, we will love it. He created us for it.
Over the next couple of weeks I have some amazing challenges before me. There will be the tendency to sit in the floor and say “I can’t do that.” But I am going to put everything I got into it because success is not defined by me or determined by me. I find my confidence in Christ because He called me to it.
This is where I talk about the books I am working on. The last in the series of the Emergency Response Plan is Living In the Light Of His Glory. I look at what it is like to live a life poured out to Christ.
I am still in the Cover design stage. What do you think of these two?
Meet Sheryl Grace and her book He Calls Her Blue. For those in Houston, Sheryl will be at the National Black Book Festival. So stop by and see her.
From birth, Indigo’s life is complicated. Immediately after she is born to the very young and very beautiful Ruby, she is abandoned by both of her parents. However, a turn of events forces Ruby to reluctantly care for the child she wishes she never had. Provocative, shapely, and self- absorbed, Ruby, is more concerned with getting a man’s attention than giving any attention to her child. Meanwhile, the identity of Indigo’s father is shrouded in mystery.
Emotionally broken, sexually confused, and unaware of her beauty, Indigo seeks love and acceptance from array of unforgettable characters. Each character, leaving an undeniable mark in her life – some break her and some make her stronger. Love arrives in the form of the strikingly handsome and suave restaurateur Tyrone Mayfield. But his love comes with a price as he draws Indigo deeper into his other businesses. While Indigo does not have much of a life without Tyrone in it, with him she may die. In this page turner, loyalties will be tested, secrets will be exposed, and some won’t live to tell.
Take a ride on this journey and experience the life of “Blue”, as she learns how to survive in the real world and the underground world that has been created for her……..

Dancing During The Storm
It is the last day to get a free Amazon Kindle copy of Dancing During the Storm. We will be making the book available on other platforms, so no more free Kindle copies. You can order paperback versions from Createspace or by email uppcreative@yahoo.com
Dancing During the Storm is a collection of stories from projects that I have written over the years. They represent a desire to praise God despite the storms in my life. As the saying goes, you are going into a storm, in the middle of a storm or coming out of a storm. All of these stories tell of people who enjoy the life that God has given them and live it to the fullest. Each character has a storm in their life which they are going into, in the midst of, or coming out of.
The first story is about the first man to ever encounter a storm and the impact on his life.
The second story is about an African American book editor on her first date with her boss and allows him to see more of her life than she wanted revealed. She is heading into a storm over which she has no control.
The third story is a science fiction tale of the journey of a young woman who is searching for peace and quiet after spending the last two years on a planet that had to resemble hell. As she emerges from the storms of her life, she sees that things are not a easy as she thought they would be.
Enjoy these fun, light hearted stories, but hear the underlying intent. All of the main characters know that God is in control.
When You Forget Your Phone
This book too will be heading for other ebook platforms, so watch for it’s last free date. It will be coming soon. You can also order this paperback at Createspace or by email uppcreative@yahoo.com.
In my phone are hundreds of names and numbers. Without my phone, I only remember two phone numbers. I don’t even know my daughter’s phone number. When you have you bible with you, or access to it, you are probably pretty confident. But when you are in the midst of a trial and your bible and the app are not available, what do you rely on? When You Forget Your Phone is a devotional that challenges you to memorize God’s word. If you know God’s word, it is easier to stand on His promises when your world is turbulent.
The fifteen verses included in this devotional are verses that God has spoken in the life of the author over the last year. This book will give some insight into her journey with the Lord.
