Praising God for how He is moving in this manuscript! I just recently discovered about 60 letters my two great-uncles wrote home from WWII! We have literally "lived in the trenches" for several days. What history! Some will be shared in Secure the Fort!
I have also had good response for my submmissions call. I have about 15 outside stories included thus far, and waiting on more! I am humbled...and grateful! This is going to be such a unique book. God is soooo good! Keep watching for details. I can't wait to see what God has planned for this one....share with your family or friends about the submissions invitation! **I am in need of Coast Guard contacts!!!! Lucy

WELCOME!
Welcome to "Secure the Fort!" This blog is about my upcoming devotional/inspirational book for military families.
As an Army mom, and Christian author, I felt a calling to write for our troops and their families. "Secure the Fort" has been a complete joy to work on, a humbling experience, and a heart-wrenching project to boot.
In addition to military themed devotions I've written, I'm including snippets from various military families on how God has been present in their lives during times of deployment or service.
I am including all branches of the military in "Secure the Fort." I want this to be a well rounded book for all.
If you are from any part of the military, I have an opportunity for you!
Here's what I need:
1. Testimonies of about 450 words in length of how God has sustained you during a loved one's deployment/service
2. Special scriptures that help give peace/comfort/hope
3. Patriotic poetry written by soldiers or their families
4. Portions of letters from the field
5. Historical tidbits from all branches of military
6. Words of encouragement to our troops overseas and their families
7. Your most memorable experiences and how God's presence was felt
8. Chaplains: what you see re: faith among our troops
9. Advice to new military families
10. Prayers for our troops and their families
If you would like to submit any of the above, please do so in a word document attachment or email text and send to: Lucy@allgloryishis.com. In the subject please put "book submission." All entries will be considered, but not all will be accepted. Entries chosen will be credited to the sender.
