About Me
Sometimes when we least expect it, we stumble upon the desires of our heart. Some call it a coincidence, but I call it a Godthing. I believe when we walk closely with Him we’ll see more of the wonderful hidden blessings He has for us.
I’ve been a freelance writer for several years, interviewing celebrities about the way God is working in their lives. My work has appeared in several Lifeway and Vox publications in addition to many others. I am a frequent writer for the Living Light News out of Edmonton (Canada).
When I’m not writing, I spend my time teaching high school journalism. I get my greatest inspiration and laughter from my students. I’ve had the pleasure of being named an Outstanding Teacher of the Humanities, a Tennessee Regional Teacher of the Year, a Middle Tennessee Scholastic Press Association Media Adviser of the Year, and a Tennessee High School Press Association Media Adviser of the Year. I have just recently been named a Certified Journalism Instructor by the Journalism Education Association.
For the last year I have been writing, revising, and polishing my first YA novel. My prayer is that God puts me in the hands of the literary agent He has chosen for me. I have a strong passion to help my readers see how wonderfully and serendipitously God works in their lives.

contact Linda Winn in Winchester. She wrote a book about dogs and God and the relationship, and had it published last year. The book is “Happy Tails”. Best to you and God bless you and all your wonderful things you do for others.

Thanks so much for the contact information. I am a dog lover too. I have three “babies,” a miracle Lab that overcame a near deadly disease, a Scottish terrier that sneaks Mexican food when the eater isn’t looking, and a little stray black puppy, who has turned into a HUGE loveable part of the family.

Wow !! How amazing! Sounds like God has done some pretty wonderful things for you!
I knew you had been writing for magazines and other publications. But, I had no idea you had been working on one!
I’m sure you’ll keep us updated and let us know when it is published! God has done great things for you so far. I’m sure He has His hands in on this project too!

Hello! It sounds as though you have wonderful variation in your life that keeps it interesting. I aspire to write, but am not sure what my calling in life is. One thing I do know though: I will find that purpose only as I seek the face of Jesus. I am content in pursuing Him above all else in life, for He IS my life.
I’m actually gaining my special education credential this year, so I may have a job to fall back on while I attempt to build a writing portfolio.
I look forward to hearing how God guides your life.

Amanda, I think it’s wonderful that you are woking on your special education credentials. You may find that God opens your eyes and prepares your heart so that you can share a very special message with your readers. I am curious to see how God orchestrates these details in your life. Thanks so much for reading my blog. You’ve encouraged me!

Thank you for creating this great space! As a Christian, and a writer, I cannot help but share my views…but I try not to do so much preaching, as talking about things that are True, Beautiful, Inspiring in the deepest sense of the word. I think this is a good way to emmulate God while not becoming a Pharisee who knows all the letters, but does not understand the Spirit.
Hope you stop by my blog, like here , where I talk about the grim realities of war and propose something else, or here , where I talk about my love for God and mathematics…
Peace to you!

Mrs. Lockhart, your blog contains very nice morals and helpful tips. This Motlow paper is about to kill me. The works cited page especially. Just remember me when you grade this next paper please! Thank you!!!
