Hi sweet friends. I have missed writing, but so much is going on right now with the release of my book that it is hard to sit down and find time to put my thoughts together.
This past week I have been so overwhelmed at the goodness of God and His faithfulness to Redeem and Restore! Each day He reminds me of where I was many years ago in deep pain, doubting His Love, and doubting His Power. He then follows it with a magnificent display of what He has done to redeem that pain, shower me with His Love, and fill me with His Power. The sense of His plan and purpose in my life is marvelous yet intimidating…not knowing what the days hold from here. I am so thankful that although I do not know what my days hold, I do know the One who holds my days!!
This past weekend, I spoke at a women’s conferenece in Kinston, NC held at the GATE. Margaret Smith hosted me while I was there, and I spent the weekend with her precious daughter Lauren and her sister Robin as well. They opened their hearts to me, and I LOVED the time we shared together. The event was amazing…so many beautiful women. I heard many stories of God’s goodness and was able to share my own story of God’s hope and healing. I felt so full as I drove home…so thankful God allowed me the opportunity to spend time with these women.
Please pray for me as I have my first radio interviews this week and my book signing Thursday night in Charlotte. If you live in Charlotte, please stop by; I would love to meet you! The book signing is from 5:30-7:00 at Joseph-Beth Booksellers at South Park Mall.
God is so good to provide me opportunities to get the word out about Hidden Joy, but it is a bit overwhelming and intimidating. I know He will be present with me every time I open my mouth, filling it with what listeners need to hear.
Blessings to each of you,
Hidden Joy in a Dark Corner: The Transforming Power of God's Story

Good morning, Wendy! THanks for sharing about your speaking ministry! What a blessing you were to those women! Hopefully, I ‘ll be able to hear you speak at some point! Will you be speaking at She Speaks this summer?
If I lived closer to South Park, I’d be there at your book signing! How exciting! I’ll keep you in my prayers. South Park is where I learned to ice skate when I was growing up!!
Hugs,
Susan
I wish you abundant success and joy Wendy! I’m not in Charlotte, but if I were I’d be first in line.
Blessed Be
Wendy,
We have had so many wonderful comments about the conference on Saturday. I know some healing is taking place! I am already half way through your book.It is very good. I would recommend it to everyone, because everyone has healing that needs to take place in one way or another.
Hope to see you again soon.
Hugs,
Margaret
Thanks for sharing Wendy. I don’t live in Charlotte, but if I did I would be there. How exciting, you have a book signing! You go girl, isn’t God amazing.
Hugs,
Diane
Oh, I am so excited for you, Wendy! How I wish I lived closer! Praying for you and so thankful He is making such beauty through you!
Many hugs and prayers!
PS — We missed you, too!
Sorry to delete my comment but it did not post correctly.
Wendy,
I have read your book just like every book I’ve read for the past two years. I pick it up, turn to any page and read a bit. Crazy but where I’m at!
I have adopted your “breath” prayer. “A gentle answer turns away wrath…a gentle answer turns away wrath…” I think it, chant it, meditate on it, absorb it, pray it, cry it out begging God to bear the fruit of gentleness on my tongue!!!!! Thank you for your story.
Wendy,
I thought and prayed for you all weekend. I am so glad that your first speaking engagement went so well. I didn’t really expect any less with God right there with you.
I’ll see you on Thursday.
Terry P
How exciting!!
