My favourite is 'King of Love'.<br /><br />Hosanna, I see (about the shrews). Well I'm glad you were able to enjoy them and learn about them for a time. And now you know you tried. :)<br /><br />I've definitely heard of Steven Curtis Chapman (I believe abbreviated to SCC?). I haven't listened to his songs a lot, though. Maybe I should. :)<br /><br />And yes! I would L.O.V.E. to read Emblem of Hope when you finish the edits.

I loved the first two books...but the third one was disappointing in that it had one scene with adult content that made me uncomfortable. =( I still enjoyed it though.<br /><br />YES! Isn't it a great reminder? "Words can build us up, words can break us down..." and "I don't want to say a word unless it points the world back to you."

I like him a lot. ;) He has a very serious personality and knows pretty much everything. =)<br /><br />Oh dear! Yes, that could put a damper on your love for shrews. Lol. I *unofficially* named them after a friend who LOVED them. I think the names were Julie, Julia, and Giles. (the "G" is pronounced as a "J") Lol.<br /><br />I know!!! I'm so excited to share <i>Emblem of Hope</i> with you all some day! I know I'll have Beta readers...but I think I'll chose and pick them. (not let just anyone sign up like some authors do) I prefer that way better. But I'll definitely let you know. ;) And my *estimated* publishing date is maybe March/April. =) Sorry for the long wait... ;)<br /><br />I have been in tornado warnings too! It's a bit scary... but also pretty exciting. =) And I love rain. *sigh* I'm glad there wasn't a real flood over there! Now THAT would be bad. =P<br /><br />No! I haven't heard "Drops in the Ocean"...but now I will. ;)<br /><br />Thank you, Ariel!

I'm so excited about that. =) I hope I can finish the editing in record time so I can send it to you... ;)<br /><br />Haha...well...I wasn't going to share the end of the shrews' lives for that reason. We have rescued many different animals, but the shrews didn't survive. We fed and loved them for five days before they all died. After that time (horrible as it sounds) we weren't too upset about it...because we were able to find out what a shrew was, love on them, and experience their short lives. If they had lived longer, it would have been difficult to care for them consistently. =( (feeding them every 3-4 hours got old)<br /><br />I haven't listened to other Hawk Nelson songs either, so I can't say if he's a favorite. =) I just love <i>that</i> song. =) I also haven't heard of your favorites...so I'll look them up! Steven Curtis Chapman is a long time favorite for me. =)<br /><br />Thanks for your long comment, by the way. ;)Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-3171718027740602952016-09-01T12:21:55.300-05:002016-09-01T12:21:55.300-05:00I enjoy reading your monthly highlight posts too, ...I enjoy reading your monthly highlight posts too, Emily. =) I did have an awesome August, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes up in September! =)Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-62671199319997155592016-09-01T12:20:28.556-05:002016-09-01T12:20:28.556-05:00Thanks, Allie!

I do know Hawk Nelson. They aren't my favourite, but they have some great songs. (And in saying that they aren't my favourite, that's not just my polite way of saying I don't like them. I DO like them, and their song, Words, is so impactful, but I know other singers/groups who ARE my favourite... like "I Am They" and Audrey Assad.

Okay, I know this is re... Wonderful post, Hosanna!!<br /> Okay, I know this is really weird. But in the story I'm writing, my main character has a brother. And I can't decide whether or not he looks like your brother (the curly-haired one). Okay, that was random. Moving on...<br /> You had baby shrews?! I showed my mom the picture and she made a face. XD She's been a little grossed out by shrews ever since we found a grown one. Scuttling around. In our basement. And she had to catch it, poor thing. =D Did you guys name the shrews? I'm sure my sister Skylar would have if we had baby shrews. =) She loves animals (except for the kind that can hurt you, like bees and such =))<br /> Eeeeep, you finished the second draft of 'Emblem of Hope'?! Will you be asking for beta readers by any chance...? Are you going to look into it getting published soon?<br /> We had an adventure in the beginning of August! We were going to be going to a recital Skylar was performing in, but it turned out there was a tornado warning. Then it rained like the Flood was coming on. But God protected us, and by the time we got to the recital, the rain was pretty much gone!! It was exciting while the tornado warning was going on...I love tornadoes. =)<br /> Yeah, I've listened to Hawk Nelson! I've heard "Drops in the Ocean' which is a great song!! Have you heard it?<br /> I pray you have a wonderful school year! =)<br /> -Ariel<br /> <br /> Perran Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06297630319769492781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642116212694770214.post-45732017523790589542016-08-31T12:37:07.814-05:002016-08-31T12:37:07.814-05:00Hey Hosanna!
