Trusting God’s Timing: A Novel’s Journey (Guest Post and Giveaway with Lori Benton!)

August 24, 2020 / Kiersti Giron / books, Lori Benton, trust, waiting, writing

You may remember me mentioning Lori Benton and the depth and detail of her award-winning historical novels in the past–I’ve been blessed indeed by both her writing and her friendship. Lori’s novels always strike me deeply with both her sensitivity in handling intercultural history and relationships, and the redemptive power in her stories. Her upcoming […]

    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 […]

Journey Toward Bethlehem, Day One: Elizabeth

Amid the bustle–and often, stress–of this season for many of us, it helps me to have intentional ways to focus my mind and heart on why we celebrate this time of Advent anyway. To remember that Jesus really did come to this messy world of ours, to real people in real, and often difficult, circumstances, […]

Mighty to Save

April 2, 2014 / Kiersti Giron / faith, Mighty to Save, movies, Prince of Egypt, scripture, trust, waiting

Last week, my small group from church watched Prince of Egypt during our regular Bible study time. We’d just finished going through the story of Moses and the Exodus, so it seemed appropriate to take an evening to enjoy it on the big screen. I’d only seen the movie once before, and while it obviously […]

One Step at a Time

November 25, 2013 / Kiersti Giron / books, Jim Elliott, Psalty, trust, waiting

I’ve been sick for the past week. It’s been a while since I was truly sick—I’ve been fighting bugs all fall, but this one got me, with a genuine bad sore throat, slight cold, and yucky-feeling chest. At first, I’ll admit I half enjoyed it—the excuse to lie around and read Sherlock Holmes, watch a […]

Ruined castle amid the green – from my own trip to Scotland The story of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah set in 18thcentury Scotland? Now there’s a novel thought…pun quite possibly intended. 🙂 Liz Curtis Higgs’s Lowlands of Scotland series has rather captured my mind and heart these past several weeks. I’d shied away from Thorn […]

When We’re Tired of Waiting

November 6, 2013 / Kiersti Giron / Jesus, trust, waiting

I feel like I’m in a “waiting” stage of life right now. Waiting for a publisher. Waiting for some direction for my future. Waiting, I hope, for a man to partner and move forward with into that future together. I feel like I’ve often been waiting. And I know quite a few friends in a […]

Putting Things in Perspective

It sneaks up on me, sometimes. I might check facebook, and see pictures posted by friends, some much younger than I, who seem to be living the life I hoped I might by now. One posts pictures of her adorable little girls, another of her new baby boy. Another just got engaged. I’m happy for […]
