Just some quick updates for you about my new book—because some exciting things are happening as this little book makes its way into people’s hands.

1. Interview with Suzie Eller
My friend (and author/speaker/podcaster) Suzie Eller invited me to record an interview about my book. She is gentle and wise, inspiring and encouraging, generous and kind and a whole lot of fun. So I wanted to share it with all of you. Watch it here:

2. Fun 14-Day Prayer Series—and freebies! 
Another sweet and oh-so-fun friend, Jodie Barrett, is diving into InstaPrayer with an awesome series that starts today (Monday, May 11). Find Faithfully Following Ministries on Facebook and Instagram to follow along. This series features prompts from InstaPrayer paired with scriptures, and she’s asked several people to write devotions connected to the prompts. I love Jodie’s heart because she is passionate about diving in to God’s word and bringing other women along with her on that journey. One of many things I adore about this series is her creativity in figuring out a different and interesting way to use this book. This series will have exclusive, amazing content, will include some video and offer some awesome freebies. I won’t tell you what they are, tho—follow along on social media to find out. I promise that they’re cool, useful, and fun, though! OK, I’m terrible at waiting. I’ll tell you about one of them now: a downloadable journal that Jodie designed and it’s awesome. Get yours here.

Also, I wrote a devotion to kick off the series—and you can read that here.

3. Don’t miss the InstaPrayer Photo Contest.
Looking for something to do? An outlet for your creativity? A project for your kids? Maybe this would be fun for you. You may enter simply by posting your photos of pages from the book on Facebook of Instagram with the hashtags #instaprayer #photocontest. Lots of fun prizes over the next several weeks. Read about it here.

Stay safe. Stay in touch. And keep praying—because we need it now more than ever!
