Well, I feel like the book launch is officially underway…because Streams in the Wasteland will be available for downloading later this week!

This whole idea of me writing an eBook is still a bit crazy to me…I mean, I wrote a devotional, y’all.

As I was working through Streams in the Wasteland, I realized that some companion resources could be really helpful for your devotional time. So that is what we are going to take a quick look at today.

Streams in the Wasteland: Overcoming Obstacles

We’ve talked here on CWC about the importance of finding time in your life to just be still. As I’ve been so diligently sharing my first-ever devotional eBook release in Streams in the Wasteland, I thought it might make sense to talk obstacles to devotion time today.

Because life can get hectic. And we all know that spending time with the Lord requires some intentional structuring of your daily life.

Streams in the Wasteland, y’all…is the anticipation just killing you? I can barely stand holding this FREE resource from you any longer, but I must…just for a few more weeks, I promise.

Streams in the Wasteland: Why Did I Write this Devotional?

May 28, 2018July 9, 2018 - The Country Wife 2 Comments

Streams in the Wasteland is comprised of two stories…two very different stories.

There’s Graci’s story: a battle with ovarian cancer.

And then there’s mine: a valley of infertility.

The common ground we share in our two stories is our faith, our hope in the hardship.

I wrote Streams in the Wasteland to honor Graci’s life and share her story with more women around the world. But I also wrote this devotional to help you find hope in the hardships that life is bringing you.

So you may have noticed by now that CWC has sort-of become Streams in the Wasteland headquarters. Yes, it’s true…

I’ve been so busy finalizing the eBook and crafting the finishing touches that I really haven’t had much time, or inspiration for that matter, to write any blog posts on other subjects. I hope you aren’t getting sick of eBook talk just yet…because I’m just so stinkin’ excited about being able to offer this resource to my readers for ABSOLUTELY FREE that it is all I’m thinking about and putting my effort towards these days.

Last week I shared with you the exciting news that is my latest creation, Streams in the Wasteland—my first “official” devotional eBook!

Streams in the Wasteland is a 31-day devotional aimed at finding hope in the hardships of life. With the intertwining of two deeply personal stories of hardship and heartache, one of a battle with ovarian cancer, another with infertility; this devotion explores searching for hope on the dark days.

Streams in the Wasteland: A Sneak Peek

Y’all, I have some insane news to share with you…I’m writing an eBook! Well, a devotional eBook, to be specific…Streams in the Wasteland.

Not so long ago, the Lord placed the idea of creating a devotional on my heart. I’ve experimented with some ideas with friends and family over the last couple of years, but this time I’m sharing my creation with the world! I know, it’s still sinking in for me, too.

I feel like I’ve been a full-on hermit living under a rock for the last three weeks as the eBook writing process is nearing completion. Man, writing a book, y’all…it’s an undertaking. One I sorely underestimated!

Biggest lesson in the devotional writing adventure thus far? Don’t procrastinate…and always plan on it taking longer than you think it will. Yup, hard, painful lessons learned on this first go-round.

Well, we’ve finally come to the conclusion of our first blogiversary series here on CWC. We’ve really done a lot of unpacking over the last few weeks, haven’t we?

We dug deeper into the inspiration behind CWC to find a whole lot of casseroles. Yeah, you’ll have to go back to Part 1 to see for yourself.

We detailed the not-so-scripted launch of this country blog into the world in Part 2.

We explored other bloggers that influenced CWC and lessons learned over the past year in Part 3.

And we recapped favorite posts from year one here on Country Wife Chronicles in Part 4.
