“J” is for Journey Diane has always had a desire for teaching the lives of young children (and their families) in the hopes of leading their faith to one that embraces God and His son, Jesus. Whether that “calling” in life took the form of teaching preschoolers, being a church staff minister for children, or being a “lunch lady” or Bus Aide with Special Needs Children for Greenville County Schools, the education, nurture, and care for preschoolers and children has been at the heart of Diane’s work. So, it is with joy, she begins a further, deeper walk along the path of Christian education to one that includes writing occasionally with Union Gospel Press (preschool and children’s take home pages/devotionals as well as devotions for singles) and currently, self-publishing a couple of children’s books for preschoolers. She also has a novel for YA, a non-fiction, autobiographical story about dealing with chronic illnesses. You can find her books on Lulu.com Diane has a Master’s degree in Divinity and a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education & Child/ Family Studies. She resides in Greer, SC near her parents and adult siblings. When she is not writing or reading, you can find her being crafty, gardening, and hanging out with friends and family.

While thinking about what to write, I read these beautiful words in Ecclesiastes 3, NKJV. Need I really say more?
A Time for Everything For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
