Interview with Carey Bailey

Last month I had the opportunity to have Carey Bailey on my show, Living Inspired. You can listen to that interview here. She is currently touring the web on a Litfuse blog tour with her product Cravings. We got the chance to ask a few more question about her awesome new devotional made especially for busy moms!

What inspired the idea for the product?


This post best describes it. Basically once I became a mom I lost my God time. I couldn’t figure out how to fit it in. Everything but that time was a priority. So I started making note cards that I set around my house with scriptures written on them. When I was washing dishes I could read one, when I was changing diapers I could read one, when I was doing the billion loads of laundry I could read one. You get the point. 🙂  They provided me nuggets to be thinking about as the mommy duties were happening. When I found out my second child was on the way I felt God nudging me to share this concept/technique. And I took it a few steps further with an actual reflection on the scripture and an action idea.

How did you come up with the product design? What’s its significance?


My main goal was “easy, convenient, and on-the-go.” I wanted moms to be able to put the cards where needed and where they frequented the most. The holder was the idea of the distributor. They wanted to play off of the logo and the fact that cupcakes are an “in” thing right now. The name Cravings: Desiring God in the Midst of Motherhood literally came from me craving God time. I missed it and Him. Being pregnant at the time I just connected the dots with God and food cravings that really come for most woman during times of stress. I knew I wanted a whimsical, vintage, shabby chic feel and so the cupcake was born and a friend of mine made the visuals in my head a reality. Thank you talented friends! I never imagined it would become such a key piece of the pie.

What’s the significance of 40 days?


If I am honest there is no significance to the 40 days. 🙂 It was just a natural number for me. It gives a mom more than a month’s worth of devotionals which I felt was helpful.

How do you see women using Cravings?


My goal would be that woman use it as a daily devotional. It can stand alone or be an addition to their quiet time. It easily sits on your kitchen or bathroom counter. It is readable in 5 minutes or less. My prayer would be that it would provide woman with bread for their day and a challenge to encourage them to walk through their day in new ways.

Do you see a followup/supplement to these cards?


Yes. I have already written sets for Advent/Christmas, Lent, Romans, Galatians, Proverbs, etc… I will write one for every book of the Bible if I can. 😉

Thanks, Carey! And don’t forget to sign up for Carey’s giveaway going on right now!! Just click the photo below to get signed up!

One grand prize winner will receive:

$50 gift card to Erin Condren Shop (Your one-stop-shop for all things awesome!)
$50 gift card to Victoria’s Secret® (For something pretty.)
$25 gift card to Bath & Body Works® (For a little spa treatment.)
2 Sets of Cravings – The Devotional (For you and a friend.)
Scentsy Plug In and 2 Bars (A lovely scent for your space.)

Hurry, the giveaway ends on 5/12/12. The winner will be announced 5/14/12 on Carey’s blog!

Titanic Survivors – Eyewitnesses to History The Courageous Colonel: Archibald Gracie | Guest Post by Sharyn Kopf

I’m excited that so many are enjoying the characters in my novel, By the Light of the Silvery Moon. Want to know more about the REAL people on the Titanic? My friend Sharyn has been kind enough to write some profiles for us. They are amazing and interesting…enjoy!

One of the last survivors to abandon ship, Colonel Archibald Gracie went through just about as much as could be endured the night of the sinking. The trauma was so great, in fact, that he never fully recovered and died before the year ended.

Before his passing, though, Gracie dedicated his time to providing as factual an account* of Titanic’s one and only voyage as he could put together. His strict attention to detail led Walter Lord, author of the definitive Titanic account, A Night to Remember**, to describe Gracie as an “indefatigable detective” who was “invaluable for chasing down who went in what boat.”

But getting the details right was not what motivated Gracie to share his account. A military man whose father, a Confederate general, died during the Civil War, Gracie admired bravery . . . and he wanted to let the world know about the impressive actions of the passengers and crew during the sinking. “It is my duty,” he wrote, “to bear testimony to the heroism on the part of all concerned.”

Leap of Faith

Gracie escaped the sinking ship by jumping from the deck as Titanic began her final plunge. He faced the leap side-by-side with his good friend, Clinch Smith. But where Gracie’s jump led to his salvation, Smith was swept away, never to be seen again.

The Colonel’s heartbreak on remembering his loss can be felt: “I was thus parted forever from my friend, Clinch Smith, with whom I had agreed to remain to the last struggle. I felt almost a pang of responsibility for our separation; . . . He was the embodiment of coolness and courage during the whole period of the disaster.”

Swimming through the freezing water, Gracie made his way to a collapsible boat that had landed upside down in the ocean. He climbed aboard, then spent the rest of the long night trying to keep his balance along with the rest of the men perched on the lifeboat’s keel.

The First-class Perspective

Like many of his time, Archibald Gracie was a product of the strict class distinctions of the day. He makes a point of describing the brave, first-class gentlemen who put their wives and children on a lifeboat, then died in the sinking—men he usually mentions by name. On the other hand, Gracie often lists stowaways and those who jumped onto lifeboats as they were being lowered only by nationality, such as “1 Japanese,” “1 Armenian,” “1 Frenchman,” and “Four Chinamen or Filipinos” whom they found near daybreak, having “come up between the seats.”

Still, he seems to have felt great compassion for all who struggled to survive that night, regardless of class. Before he escaped from the sinking ship, Gracie encountered a “mass of humanity” that he concluded were steerage passengers making their way to the boat decks after being left to their own devices. By then most of the lifeboats were gone and their chance of survival was minimal. In response Gracie wrote, “Even among these people there was no hysterical cry, or evidence of panic, but oh, the agony of it!”

Certainly, Colonel Gracie’s account exposed some of the first-class sense of superiority of the time, though not intentionally. But he also fulfilled his purpose and did, indeed, bear testimony to many heroic acts that night.

Suddenly Amelia finds herself caught between the attentions of two men, but who should she entrust her heart to? As the fateful night arrives, will Amelia lose everything to the icy waters?

You’re Already Amazing

I had the opportunity to have Holley Gerth on my show on April 19th. She is the author of book You’re Already Amazing.

Here’s a little more about the book …

Women feel enormous pressure to be perfect. To have the perfect body, to be a perfect woman, to have the perfect career, and to have the perfect attitude. All the time. Under all that pressure and all those expectations are women carrying burdens they were never meant to carry and suppressing the dreams they were always meant to live.

In You’re Already Amazing, popular blogger and cofounder of (in)courage helps women understand and embrace the fact that they don’t need to do more, be more, and have more–because they’re already amazing just the way God created them to be. As a licensed counselor and certified life coach, Holley knows what readers need to hear. Like a heart-to-heart talk over coffee, reading this joy-filled book encourages women to forget the lies and expectations the world feeds them, instead believing that God made them for a purpose and that he loves them right now, at this moment, and always. Holley takes readers on a journey of the heart to discover their strengths and embrace all God created them to be.


I also had the chance to ask Holley to answer a few questions:

Q. What was the most important event in your life and how did it affect you?

I’ve recently come to look at what’s important in life in a different way. Rather than the big ones, I’m realizing those small moments are what matter most. Those usually happen over a cup of coffee with someone I love—like girlfriends or my hubby. Stephanie Bryant and I recently hosted what we called “Camp Creativpreneur” as a weekend for a small group of women to come and be creatively refreshed and connect with God and each other. We did crafts, ate yummy food and had the kind of conversations we often miss in every day life that women need so much.

Q. What was the saddest moment?

The saddest moment in my life recently was saying good-bye to the women who came to camp. It made me realize all over again how easy it is to become too busy for relationships and creativity—what nourishes our souls. It made me want to be even more intentional about understanding who God has made me as well as those around me then taking time to really connect.

Q. What was the happiest moment?

The happiest moment I’ve had lately was walking through an art museum in our area with the women who came for camp. We were surrounded by inspiration and seeing all of the creativity through that has come through centuries of people was inspiring. It made me realize again how big God is and how different he has made each one of us.

Q. Or what was the most difficult decision you have ever had to make? Why? How did you make it and what happened?

One of the most difficult questions I’ve ever had to make was stepping out of a full-time position at DaySpring (the Christian subsidiary of Hallmark) in order to say “yes” to some other things, like writing, that God was calling me to do. Looking back, God orchestrated every bit of that situation beautifully and I still have a strong partnership with them but it was definitely a major transition. I felt like Peter stepping out of the boat to walk on water. But I would totally do it again to be with Jesus and where he wants to take me during this season.

Q. How did you experience God during this event?

I experienced that God is bigger than our fears and that if we will just dare to take his hand and pursue his heart that he has more for us than we can even imagine. I learned that success isn’t about results—it’s about obedience. God is passionate about us becoming all he’s created us to be and doing what he’s placed us here on earth to accomplish. He will go to great lengths on our behalf to make that happen if we’ll only let him.

Q. What hope or encouragement do you have for others who may be facing the same situation?

I think we all find ourselves in times of transition or change. So I would say to other women first to draw near to Jesus. Then ask him who you really are and what he truly wants you to do. Then pursue that—no matter how scary or impossible it may seem. What you’re really pursuing is more of Jesus in your life and that is always, always worth it.

Thanks, Holley!

Coming Soon: October Baby

I had a chance to watch October Baby with my family and I have to say I loved the movie! It’s about a young woman who discovers that she was adopted–but more than that, that she survived an abortion attempt by her birth mother.

It’s an impacting, moving story. It’s told well, and they did a great job with the production. The story wasn’t an easy one to tell, yet they pulled it off well!

After the movie was over and we turned on the lights, my 19-year-old daughter turned to me. “Everyone needs to watch that movie.”

I agree!

I know the movie will impact many. Yet for those who’ve had an abortion in that past, like me, it may stir up old pains. I remember the first time I heard another person talk about abortion at church. I wanted to sink into the pew and hide. I’m sure I sucked in an audible gasp.

It happened during announcements. The pretty blonde stood in front of the church. “I had an abortion when I was 19.” Her eyes scanned the crowd. “And I will be leading a Bible study for others like me.”

My hands trembled. I was sure everyone around me could guess my secret. Yet a flicker of hope stirred.

There’s someone like me — someone who knows this pain . I’d been a Christian for years, but the shame of an abortion at 15 heavily weighed on my heart. I had no idea other women also dealt with the same heartache.

Women Like Me 


Each year, almost half of all pregnancies among American women are unintended. 1 About half of these unplanned pregnancies, 1.3 million each year, are ended by abortion. 1 , 2 Yet for a Christian woman, it may feel like she’s the only one dealing with this issue. Church leaders often don’t know how to approach the subject for fear of stirring “controversy.” Yet women need hope. They need to hear that others have faced the same pain and have found forgiveness and healing. That’s why movies like October Baby are so important. The main character of October Baby is the young woman who survived the abortion attempt, and my heart also went out to her mother. No one knew the pain but her. I’m sure she was certain no one would understand.

Post-Abortion Healing 


After an abortion, many women cope through repression and denial. Oftentimes, this “works” for 5, 10, even 20 years, but having children or facing infertility can bring suppressed feelings to light. Before she realizes her pain, suppressed shame and guilt can express themselves in many ways including low self-esteem, insomnia, nightmares, and flashbacks. It is common to turn to alcohol or drugs to numb the ache.


Steps to healing. 

Women do not need to remain suffering silent prisoners. According to J. Willke, there are five steps in the healing process:

  1. Counter the denial. A woman must take responsibility, admitting she killed her baby. 
  2. Grieve over her lost child. Releasing pent-up tears often brings healing. 
  3. Seek divine forgiveness. In my case, it helped to realize Jesus’ grace was greater than my sin. 
  4. Forgive others. There are many people I resented for their part, including family members and my old boyfriend. I soon realized that this hatred hurt me the most. 
  5. Forgiving herself. Romans 6:16 states that “sin leads to death.” When I was able to forgive myself for believing Satan’s lies, I found inner peace that I’d not experienced in years. Afterwards, I knew I had to help others find the same peace. 
  6. Reaching Out. After my own healing, I led post-abortion groups using the book, Forgiven and Set Free by Linda Cochrane. I also share my testimony in person and through writing. My words of hope maybe exactly what another woman needs.

I encourage you to watch October Baby! Also spread the word. Let your friends know about this amazing movie!

If you’ve had an abortion, I pray you will find healing. And if you know someone who has–won’t you reach out to her and help her? A loving friend can do amazing things through the healing process.

Chasing Mona Lisa in WORLD Magazine!



It’s always fun to come home to good news. This week I found out Chasing Mona Lisa was a notable book in World Magazine! 


Here is what they had to say: 

Chasing Mona Lisa | Tricia Goyer & Mike Yorkey
Chasing Mona Lisa features a plucky female heroine, her gallant man, a couple of gun battles, bad guys worth rooting against, historical detail, and suspense. With Paris in 1944 on the verge of liberation, Communist resistance groups vie with groups supporting Charles de Gaulle. In this context, a Nazi hatches a plot to steal the Mona Lisa from its hiding place in the French countryside. Gabi Mueller and Eric Hofstadler, Swiss OSS agents working as Red Cross officials, bring much-needed medical supplies to the struggling resistance groups in Paris. While there they learn of the plot and set out to protect the famous painting. 
Also, if this story sounds interesting to you, check out my Chasing Mona Lisa Pinterest Board. There are photos from WWII in Paris, photos of the Mona Lisa, and photos of Paris–how could you not love that? 
Oh, and if you’re one of the lucky ones who won a prize at my Facebook and LIVE event party…the loot is in the mail!
