Dear Reader,

Thank you for visiting Dover again. I hope you enjoyed meeting the next Montgomery sibling, Bethany. Like most of us, Beth struggled to find a balance in her life between her career, her family and her faith. In her ambition to rise to the top of her profession, she ignored important parts of her life. In losing the thing she loved most, her ability to dance, Beth was forced to reexamine her life and her priorities.

We’re told to put God first, but life has a way of overshadowing that commandment. It’s especially difficult for those of us in the arts. Whether we are dancers, artists, writers, musicians or actors, we hone our skills, which are fueled by love of our art and our determination to excel, but with little or no monetary compensation. Many times we ask the Lord if this is what we’re supposed to be doing because the journey seems so pointless.

With the help of Noah and Chloe, the Lord shows Beth that He has unlimited blessings to lavish on his children, and if we keep our hearts and minds open, we can find new dreams.

I love to hear from readers. You can reach me through my website: lorrainebeatty.com. From there, you can access my Facebook page and other social media links. Or, you can write to Love Inspired, 195 Broadway, New York, NY 10007.
