  A Warm Welcome to June Foster June will give away an eBook of The Novice Ranch Hand . To enter to win leave a comment and enter the Rafflecopter Contest below The Story Behind The Novice Ranch Hand As I wrote The Novice Ranch Hand, I enjoyed a sentimental journey into the past. The idea for this story which takes place on a sheep ranch was inspired by my life as a young child.  My father was heir to a large sheep ranch in west Texas. So, after my parents married, they made the ranch their home. My father raised sheep and sold the wool to the local coop in his town. For years, the business was profitable.

It’s not “maybe,” it’s wait.  It’s all about God’s timing.  Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes tells us, “There is a time for everything,   and a season for every activity under the heavens” (NIV). In my own experience, waiting stretches my faith muscles. I am assured that if the answer I’m hoping for is best for me, it will come in God’s time. And if it’s not in His will for me, He will firmly shut that door. Even if I am disappointed, I can have peace knowing that the M...
