When Searching Up My Book: My Life: From the Back Burner by LA’ Brea Aquaria

When looking up my book, you have to type in the whole title of it, or type in my name under the title. There are millions of books with the title, “My Life”. My book is written about my life, which is Nonfiction. It took me a lot of time to write my book, but even through the hard times when I was in tears writing my book, reliving those sad moments, as well as the happy moments, I kept my focus. I kept on writing until the end. When it was all said and done and sent to the publishers, I was in tears then. I was happy that I had accomplished something that will never be taken from me, that will always be around for years in the future for future generations to read and enjoy, and to receive inspiration from.

I wrote my book three months after my grandmother passed away. I never knew that I was going to do something like this in my life. I wish she were here to see this accomplishment that I have completed. I wish I could have written it when she was living. I wish I could read it to her right now. I really wish my brother were here to see this, he would be so proud of me. I wish my grandfather were here to see this that I have done. I can truly say that I feel like they are smiling down on me from heaven. I feel like they are proud of me even now.

When I think about what God has done in my life, I cannot help but to become emotional. He made my dream come true. He has opened up doors for me that I never thought I would ever be able to walk through. I know there are more doors to be opened for me that no man can shut. If it were not for all of the things I have experienced in my life, my book would not have ever been written. When reading something someone has written, one must understand that every story is different that’s written. Every writer has a story to tell, or advice to give that they feel someone can use to help themselves with. Fiction stories are just that, stories made up by the writer, and Nonfiction is what it is, Nonfiction, something that actually happened in the writer’s life. Writers write about many things that inspire them. This is why there are so many writers and so many books in the world, because everyone has a story to tell.

When you read my book, you will get to know me better. You will get to see a glimpse into my life, not only that, but you will also get to read about some of the things I went through as a child, and even as an adult. This book was written from my heart and my soul. All of my emotions are poured into every page written. There were even times when I had to stop writing because I could not see because of the tears that were in my eyes. The memories were raw as if it were just happening all over again. It’s funny how we remember every detail about things that has happened to us, be it in the past, or even in the present. I guess it is good to remember every detail about things that has been experienced in life. I can only speak for myself though. It is just a gift that I was born with. When I learned that I was a very detailed person, and could remember small things about some things, or everything about a lot of things, I began to write things from memory, or speak about things from memory. I suppose I will always be this way.

My next book is being written; I have already started on it. I cannot wait to finish it. It is going to take some time though; I am going to make sure it is how I want it to be word for word, no changes whatsoever. I will design my cover just as I designed my cover for this book. It will be different though; something soft, but versatile. I cannot wait to just sit and read the whole rough draft after I have finished writing it. When it is all said and done, I will reveal the title of my book. With that being said, keep traveling through the pages of the book you are reading enjoying your adventure. As always, thank you for joining me on my journey with Food for the Soul.

Can you find your zodiac sign? If so, leave it in the comments. I think it will be fun.

Look Inside the Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible: by Olive Tree

Olives are good for you.

Bible commentaries and study notes are great tools for understanding what the Bible has to say to us today. Often overlooked, however, is the value that using scripture to understand scripture can bring. God’s inspired word is a complex tapestry of themes all woven together, and the development of those themes can provide us with insight into the relevant message of the Bible for today’s readers. USING SCRIPTURE TO INTERPRET SCRIPTURE Finding our way around these themes can be a daunting task, especially given the variety of subjects covered in the Bible. A word search can be helpful, but it can give an incomplete picture due to the complexity of language and the context in which words are used. The great news is that you can use tools like the Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible. It links various themes together as they are mentioned and developed throughout Scripture. The very heart of this product is the thematic chains that number in the thousands and people at all stages of learning about the Bible have used it in the 100 years since its initial release. The Thompson Chain resource is also a great study Bible, offering cross-references, book outlines, book introductions, maps, and harmonies to aid us in our study. THOMPSON CHAIN IN THE APP We’ve put quite a bit of attention into converting the rich topical content so it can be used in the app. Our goal was to make navigating the famous topical chains easy and intuitive and to allow quick access to the additional materials as well. We’re going to walk through a quick example of how the Olive Tree Bible App can make navigating the Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible enjoyable and easy.

When you are done with this chain, you can tap the back arrow at the upper left corner of the split screen to return to the verse menu. SEARCH PEOPLE AND TOPICS There are also some other gems available but a little less obvious. For this example, tap the David entry under the People section. After you’ve tapped on it, the screen will look like this: The Resource Guide automatically shows you that there is an article on David available in the Thompson Chain resource.
