Doing What God Asked: An Authors Prayer, by Paula Rose Michelson

God having walked in my own way before I gave my life to you at forty, and cleaved to you since that glorious day, my life has never been more amazing, yet sad as it feels now: amazing for the work you have given me has received allocates, sad because being set apart over and over again means letting go so I can grab hold.

Today, I praise you for the readers comments posted below:

“An awesome cliffhanger! This story was well researched and excellently written! Unfortunately, it is a cliffhanger…so we really want the sequel as soon as possible! It will keep you reading until the last page when you start to look for more!” —Anthony Ort

“I finished reading Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book 1 and it was wonderful! Every day I looked forward to the evening when I could delve into the next chapter! I can’t wait for book two.”

—Cora Bant

“Me encanta! Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing is a “can’t put it down” great read. I absolutely loved Book 1, and I highly recommend it. It is a perfect gift idea. I bought some for Christmas gifts, and I can’t wait for Book Two to come out.” —Tracey Awwanda

“I enjoyed the first novel of the Casa Saga so much that I bought two more copies to give as gifts, and I eagerly await Book Two!” —Avalyn Ava Camp

Yet I wait, sometimes less patiently than I ought, to see how you will use what you have called me to do. Since waiting is hard for me, I cast my concerns upon you, for knowing that you alone know the why and wherefore, I am remained that I am never alone, therefore I praise you all the more!

A Life Long Dream, by Paula Rose Michelson

When Kim Justice wrote, “Secrets, memories, a family torn apart, love, discovery, a life-long dream; how do all these things come together for Naomi? How does a naïve, fifteen-year-old girl grow up in a world that she knows nothing about and has no one to guide her? I was so engrossed in Naomi’s life that putting the book down was next to impossible. I would read in the evening so I could have quiet time to try solve or work with Naomi on how to get through something until, unable to sleep, I would have to get up and finish that part of the book. It did take me a little while to read because I savored every word, sentence, and chapter. All of the characters were amazing. The biblical references were so to the point that I would do some research of my own. I was really interested in the facts of the book. The different cultures were so real that I learned how different things are. I will not go any further because I do not want to give away anymore about the book. It is definitely a must read! Author Paula Rose Michelson is an awesome author. I cannot wait till her next book is out,” I praised God for only He could have made the heart of the matter jump off the page like this!

Although I often thought of writing something others might read, when I began my writing, more than 30 years ago, I had no intention of ever begin published. However, my silent life long dream of being published was realized when I gave my life to Messiah, and he did with it was He chose.  

If you find yourself dreaming, wishing, or praying for significance, I hope you will ask the one who created you what He would like you to do, peruse as He directs, and then give Him all the praise and glory!

Till we meet again, may Messiahs Shalom envelope you.

This is Much More Than…by Paula Rose Michelson

When my friend, and sister in Messiah, Heather Micaela wrote, “This is much more than a romance and I recommend it to men and women alike. I felt intimately involved in the challenges facing Naomi, Chaz, and the others that are involved in their life. The author has a way of making you really care about the characters. You feel as if you are in that house in Spanish Harlem. I could hear the accents of the people as they spoke; even the way they spoke English as bilingual people was very real. I am eagerly awaiting Book Two,” I had no idea how God would show me that what she wrote was true! Yet that’s exactly what He did when a lady walking her dog stopped to talk to me while I was inscribing Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing a few Sundays ago.

I must share that our discussion seemed decidedly odd since she told me she didn't have time to read fiction. However, her questions were thoughtful, and no one else was walking up, so I answered them in more detail than I usually do. When she told me, she was a Dean at The University of California, Irvine and knew the Dean of Social Services was looking for speakers for the program being developed for the Dream Act Students who would soon enroll, and asked if I was interested, I realized this was an ordained meeting!

Aware that it was the book that caused her to stop and that there is nothing on the marketplace like it, I mentioned that if the University would like the novel, I was certain my publisher could assist since a portion of these students’ expenses is being offset by the government. My publisher agreed! And that my friend is all I have to share for now, except to ask you to lift this up in prayer because I will be contacting the Junior Colleges, Colleges, and Universities in my area to if they would like the book too.
