A Clean Romance Showcasing a Love which Endures a Thousand Years ... Nicole Bessam had finally found him. After long, fruitless years of searching, after countless missteps and mistakes, she had at last reunited with the man she had pledged her heart to. He was right there in front of her. But he didn't remember her face. Commander Jon Paxton was transfixed by the woman before him. He'd had relationships in the past, certainly - women who eased his loneliness. But none had ever called to him the way Nicole did. None had ever fit into his life as neatly as a key fits into its lock. And there seemed to be so much more beneath the surface - but he just couldn't reach it. Nicole had to move as carefully as a cat negotiating a thin ledge high above a desolate abyss. One reckless step, one shift in the wrong direction, and the love they had treasured for a thousand years could be forever lost.

This is the best book I have ever written. It has 30 days of devotionals and great questions to ask yourself with space to write and think about God, yourself and others. Here is one of the devotionals: Our Thought-Life is Highly Important Phil 4:8, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." I love Joyce Meyer She always talks about the fact that we need to think about what we are thinking about. That is SO true. If you are passive in your thought life, the enemy, Satan, will attack you to no end. You have to be intentional in your thought life. If you want to have a good day or be in a good mood, you NEED to think positive thoughts. To allow negative thoughts to keep circling in your mind is essentially sleeping with the enemy, Satan. Satan wants to keep you down and depressed and feeling guilty and sorry for yourself. Jesus said that he came that we might have LIFE. Thinking negatively is the farthest thing from having life. God does want you to be happy. We need to get over the notion that God wants us to suffer and be miserable all the time. That simply is not true. Granted he does test us sometimes, but only for our greater good. Generally though, God wants us to enjoy our lives. He is our heavenly father, and just like an earthly father, God loves to see his children happy. But to be happy is a decision. It takes a conscious effort. And it usually takes a lot more effort and determination to be happy than it does to be grumpy. If you are lazy in your thought life, you will generally be miserable. But if you intentionally think on whatever is "true, noble, pure, right, lovely, admirable" etc. you will generally be happy. But the decision is yours. Satan often puts thoughts in our minds. We may think everything that we think is ourselves but the truth is, Satan is putting thoughts into our minds ALL day long Any thought that is negative, self-condemning, even obsessive thoughts, these are all from Satan. You need to tell Satan to shut up. I am serious. I tell Satan to shut up at least 20 times a day. You need to learn to bounce your thoughts. If you have a negative thought, transfer your concentration onto something that is good. This takes practice but with time you WILL be able to generally think positively, with God's help of course. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Amen Reflection Questions Do you often have negative thoughts? Do you wish that you didn't? __________________________________________________________________ Can you think of some positive things to think about instead when a negative thought comes into your head? __________________________________________________________________ Do you think your life would improve if you bounced your negative thoughts into positive thoughts? __________________________________________________________________ Did you realize that with the Holy Spirit you can have power over Satan and the thoughts that he tries to put into your head? Are you ready to tell Satan to shut up?
