New Series with Lauraine Snelling! And The Story of How That Happened…

June 8, 2021 / Kiersti Giron / books, critique group, God's faithfulness, writing

  Once upon a time, a shy homeschooled teen in rural northwest New Mexico eagerly anticipated the arrival of the rural bookmobile each month. She devoured most of the books in their several shelves of Christian fiction, but her favorite series became the Red River of the North historical novels by Lauraine Snelling. She fell […]

The Birth of a Baby Boy…and a Mommy

  Nearly seven months ago, a little after two o’clock in the morning and after about twenty-five hours of labor, a soft, warm, pink, little bundle was laid naked on my tummy, with a lusty yell and damp golden-brown curls. And my life was forever changed. There’s a reason I’ve been rather absent from this […]

Last week, I sat in a darkened church and saw a story live and breathe on stage…the story of Immanuel. I saw a young girl, unsure about being betrothed to a man she knew little, have her world turned upside down when one of God’s heavenly warriors showed up in her little home in Nazareth, […]

It’s almost Christmastime. In many ways, the season has already begun—Christmas music on the radio, Christmas movies on Netflix. We even got our Christmas tree this past Sunday, much to our kittens’ amazement and delight—and some scolding as we learn the Christmas tree is for looking at, lying under, and gently playing with the lower […]

Of Graduations, Rainbows, and His Faithfulness

  My little sister graduated from college last Saturday.   It doesn’t seem that long since she was graduating high school—in fact, I posted about it here. She seemed so grown up then, yet now, looking back, the eighteen-year-old Maren appears so young.       Today she has a B.A. in Theater Arts, with […]

One Year Ago…

    One year ago, God began something new.   He took two broken people—with strengths and weaknesses, heartaches and foibles—and brought them together, bound into one by vows and exchanged rings beneath an arch of hydrangeas, surrounded by loving friends and family standing to support us, taking the bread and cup together beneath a […]

Change isn’t always easy. Or perhaps better to say—is change ever easy?   This past year has held incredible life changes for Anthony and me. Being engaged . . . getting married . . . moving . . . starting to teach high school (for me) . . . the sometimes wonderful, sometimes stressful task […]

I just finished my first week of teaching high school English.   This job came about quite suddenly and unexpectedly—it really did seem a “God-thing.” I learned about the opening at a small private Christian international school near us only days after I realized I needed to find a new job—not because I didn’t like […]

    It was the baby that did it.   I was at LAX Airport, departing for the 2013 ACFW conference. I had lots to look forward to—seeing two of my critique partners, meeting with my agent and potential publishers, a trip to visit friends in New Mexico on the way back. My first completed […]
