Unfailing Love (Heart Series #3)
Dani has loved Josh since high school. It started out as a crush, but a senior trip changed their lives forever. Suddenly, they were making a movie and swept into the glamorous but dark life of the rich and famous. They fell into a world where sin and self-rule and nothing is as it seems. When Dani becomes pregnant, Josh's heartfelt proposal shocks her. Desperate, Dani wants to accept but she's afraid he only asked because he's a new believer and trying to please Jesus. She turned him down, had her child, and signed away her parental rights. After four years of regret, Dani goes home to fix her mistakes but it's too late. Josh is engaged to another woman and she no longer fits into their lives. As she tries to mend her relationship with her son, Dani also grows closer to the Lord. Is it God's will for Dani to watch Josh marry another woman and have her raise Dani's son? Dani and Josh are both praying and determined to please the Lord, but neither of them is sure of His plan. They will need faith and the Lord's unfailing love to see them through. This is a STANDALONE STORY, but there are characters from With All Your Heart & Leaving the 99. Bible quotes are from the NIV version. Upates MWFConcluida

And being the only one in her college building could become very lonely... but maybe she wouldn't be as alone as she had expected.

The Christmas Hope Project

Each year, a different student hosts TCHP in order to make each one different and as memorable as the last. TCHP is known for it's 'magical powers' in granting someone's holiday wish. I never believed the rumor, I had always thought that it was a lie to get people to sign up to host it. Until I hosted it, that is. My holiday wish? To find a place where I truly belong. ~~~~ "I stopped taking pictures to leave the person I once was in the past." He wrapped an arm around my waist, spinning me to face him. "But one day, when your memory starts to fade, all you'll have are photos. To remind you of who you were, who you are." The sadness in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by something else. "To remind you of where you came from, who you came from. To remind you that you lived." I was stunned silent by his words, left reeling from the thoughts. I was conflicted. On one hand, I was moved by his words. On the other hand, I'd be losing who I thought I was. "I..." I couldn't find anything to say. There was nothing I could do or say that would help me in this situation, so I just stood there with my brows furrowed. "Goodnight, Elaine. Think about it, yeah?" Then he was gone, leaving me standing there with only a camera in my hands.Concluida
