Today’s StreamingFaith.com devotional is about holiness. I address the different ways misunderstanding what holiness truly is and how it can impact a family with It’s in My Blood. Naomi, Rosalyn’s mother, is a combination of women I know who ascribed to the importance of the “outward appearance” of holiness. While not evil in nature there is a potential for disaster and danger that comes when we place an undue amount of attention on what things look like. Rosalyn allowed the things that happened in her adolescence to drive her away from God instead of toward him, just like I did. Read it for less than $3 on nook/kindle.

In addition to being a breast cancer awareness novel, this story speaks to the importance of self worth, self value and self love. Proceeds from it are going to be donated to Making Strides Breast Cancer walk, my first 5k I’ll walk in October 29.
