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
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.
More Inspirational Thoughts
Beautifully Pieced Together
I’m a passionate advocate for words of loving kindness. “Walk the WOLK,” I like to say. Walk the words of loving kindness. But it’s not always easy to walk the WOLK, to walk the words of loving kindness, and often my prayer has been “Change my heart, O God.”
God’s Possibilities ~ Our Opportunities
Over the years I’ve learned to treasure the possibilities and the opportunities, not something I’ve always done. I’ve also learned that the best opportunities, the right opportunities, are God’s possibilities.
The Gift of Encouragement
Where have you been given the gift of encouragement? In a letter to the Hebrews in the Bible’s New Testament, the apostle Paul asks that we encourage each other to love and do good works. My mother-in-law recently celebrated her 90th birthday. Her life has been and continues to be one of love and kindness and service. She has been a gift of encouragement to all of us.
Let's "walk the W.O.L.K.”

Deanna’s Books
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.
