Sharing the Fruit of God’s Spirit
I love empowering and encouraging women knowing that God’s been in the details ~ always has been, always will be. Join me as we talk about God’s loving kindness and ways we can inspire, motivate, and bring about meaningful change.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such, there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23
Speaking
About Deanna
Before my father died, he reminded me that Mom had asked me to write a book. At the time the boys were in college, and the notion of writing was unfathomable. Writers write books. By the time my boys were adults, I’d run out of excuses. I was also at that age when I could pause and reflect.
Fruit of My Spirit: Reframing Life in God’s Grace was my first publishing endeavor. My second was Signs in Life: Finding Direction in Our Travels with God. Both are collections of stories that tell of God’s love and faithfulness. Both tell of His remarkable grace and mercy.

Morning WOLK with God: Be Bold. Be Brave. Be You. (Part 2)
Today our theme is being bold, being brave, and being you and today we’ll talk about being bold and brave for those around us.
Morning WOLK with God: Be Bold. Be Brave. Be You.
As a woman of faith, do you think about being bold and brave in being you? Do you ever use the words “bold” and “brave” to describe yourself? I’m going to be so bold and so brave as to say the answer needs to be a resounding YES
Morning WOLK with God: Shining His Light
This is often that special time of year when we ring in the new year and put away the Christmas decorations. But even after the lights come down, God’s light continues on—not in the light of things, but in His light in us. God’s Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope are a part of each one of us. And that means we show up differently—whether we’re on a virtual call or in an emergency room. Yes, even in an emergency room!
Let's "walk the W.O.L.K.”

Fruit of My Spirit:
Reframing Life in God’s Grace
In a memoir of missteps and misdeeds, DEANNA NOWADNICK writes of the hugeness of God’s love and faithfulness. Reframing life in God’s grace, she discovers an indescribable, indefinable, inexplicable love that has encircled her without fail through joyous, sad, cringe-worthy, heartwarming, forgettable, memorable moments in life. Fruit of My Spirit is for anyone who’s ever questioned God’s ability to love and forgive, who’s ever wondered about their place in God’s family or God’s place in theirs. Deanna offers hope for those who dare to question, who secretly wonder, and who fear to ask. Through stories of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, you will experience the enormity of God, too.
