And I thought the exact same thing when I read about Rachel seeing the wedding chapel. Would love to see a picture of it. . . . Okay, I looked it up online, Kathleen. It's a beautiful little wedding chapel in Gatlinburg.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691366747122379190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-76943640226321263142016-04-04T18:38:31.170-04:002016-04-04T18:38:31.170-04:00It's great to see you here, Anne!

The part of the interview I liked is where she talks about earthly fathers vs our Heavenly Father.

...Hi Carole, I have shared your link on my FB page.<br /><br />"...while on vacation in Tennessee I drove past a wedding chapel called Chapel in the Glen. I pitched the title to my publisher a few minutes later. She and the team loved it. And I was off to find a story to go with it."<br /><br />This caught me ~ I'd love to see a photo :D I have The Wedding Dress of the different generations wearing the same dress. I like to read these two generation stories then and now. Captivating.

For many years my earthly father was detached from us emotionally. I longed to hear him tell me he was proud of me. I finally heard that when I was 17 years old. He was a good father, just not the sit me in his lap and tell me a story kind of father. We were closer at one point, until there came a time when I ended up having no relationship with my family at all because I chose to follow Jesus and they simply couldn't understand it or accept it. My father is gone now and I hope he is in heaven. But the way he was with us makes understanding God's loving arms very difficult. I constantly, even after 40 years of knowing Jesus, wondering how He could love someone like me and standing in awe that He does. <br /><br />I've read some of Rachel's books and have enjoyed everyone of them. I would love to read this one as well and currently have it on my wish list!<br />wakim98 at yahoo dot com.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166489525831184850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-47648249810237327702016-03-30T22:20:25.961-04:002016-03-30T22:20:25.961-04:00Great interview!

Because it was true for me! My dad wasn't the best example of what a dad should be, so when I first gave my heart to God, I did struggle with my image of what He was. Thankfully, after all these years, I know He loves & cares for me as a Father should. It took a long time to really heal and it wasn't easy, but I'm so grateful that the Lord is patient! I know when I read in the Word that God loves me, I believe it :-) <br />Rachel, thank you for the author interview, I so enjoyed getting to know you more. I have (yet) to read one of your books, but I've read so many positive things about them. Thank you also for the giveaway chance, this is one book that's already on my want-to-read list!<br /><br />teamob4 (at) gmail (dot) comTrixi https://www.blogger.com/profile/03116805265841796307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-82600269213033764802016-03-30T13:33:30.113-04:002016-03-30T13:33:30.113-04:00Great interview.
