The LORD Chooses the Doors of Opportunity For Us To Share His Word

https://www.zazzle.com/store/WITDWF_JeanElizabeth

This is my store on Zazzle store—“Faith In The Dark”. I know I have shared this a few times in the past couple of weeks, but with more new items being in the store, and surprisingly, there are quite a few people out there that still don’t know I even have a store on Zazzle, I will continue to share this.

I’m still waiting for AMAZON to work out the kinks (for my URL) in trying to share my Author’s 📚Page, but until then you could just go on Amazon, and look my name up or the title of my 📚books (“Walking in the Dark With FAITH”), to see the four books I currently have on there for sale.

It’s amazing how different this link shares between the social media platforms… this time I’m sharing it from the ZAZZLE app on my phone.

PLEASE go and see all the newer items I have just added; there will be more to come! THANK ❤️YOU to the few people who have either visited my store, and have also FOLLOWED ME on Zazzle as well.

You can do the same at my Author’s page on Amazon—in fact, I would be most grateful if you would click on the follow button!! It would mean so much to me! And if you either have purchased a book from me in the past, or do purchase one now, I would also truly appreciate you leaving a written review.

The idea of being a “starving artist was never part of what I chose for myself. Who honestly would want to go through seven years of college and grad work in a seminary like I just have, write dozens and dozens of papers, work hard to get the grades I did and the degrees I was awarded, and then end up not even being able to get a job at places where I have almost the exact qualifications and experience the companies/ministries/schools are looking for?

I was told seven years ago by an HR manager that even though my resume showed, I had the qualifications to do the job I applied for at Rider College, unfortunately the associate degree wouldn’t be enough— these days, she said, I definitely would need to have at least a bachelor’s degree in order to get any good paying job. So September 2018 I started on this college journey again, and I haven’t stopped until this June, 2025. I have tried several times over the past few years in Pennsylvania and now the almost 2 years I’ve been back in New Jersey, to get at least a part-time job that has something to do with all the hard work I put into at school.

The LORD OPENS AND CLOSES (or KEEPS those doors closed) the “doors 🚪of opportunity” in our lives (see Revelation 3:7-8). For whatever reason that right now is not altogether humanly understood by me, this is the way the LORD wants it to be…and HE has the final “say so” on EVERYTHING.

But then again, I’m sure Paul the Apostle didn’t think his tent ⛺️ making (see Acts 18:1-4) would have to be a major part of his life-the part of the life the LORD God chose for him, not what he chose for himself. But, since Paul surrendered all to the Lord Jesus, and I have done that myself several years ago, we have had to walk on the Path HE chose for us, in FAITH, trusting that no matter how grim it may look sometimes, He IS in control, He knows what is best for us, and He WILL provide.

I am not thrilled to have to rely on such an unstable income, along with writing my 📚 books. But that’s what the LORD put in my Path to do, while concentrating on sharing His Word-and some of it is definitely not welcomed by human ears to hear—which makes all of this that much more difficult to do as His servant.

BUT—the message of the ENTIRE WORD ✡️📖✝️of God must be heard. We cannot “cut out” the parts we don’t like or agree with. I am like my brother in the Faith, Paul, who said, “Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, for I did not shrink from declaring to you THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD” (Acts 20:26-27). The Lord Jesus will deal with those who refused to heed His📖Word on the Day of ⚖️Judgment(see Revelation 20:11-15).

THOSE artistic skills and abilities that He has placed in me to use, are to the LORD more “doors 🚪of opportunity” to reach thousands, and hopefully millions more, with His Word and message of REPENTANCE, HOPE, SALVATION, and REDEMPTION.

Until He knows I am done with my service here to Him, I will continue to walk the Path in the Dark with the FAITH I have in Him, holding His hand, knowing that He will always be faithful “to complete that good work in me, until the Day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6)

NEW Collection of Luke 9:23 Items in My Zazzle Store!

https://www.zazzle.com/collections/follow_me_luke_9_23-119067045838385035

Click the above link to not only see the new collection “Follow Me” Luke 9:23, but also I managed to work on my first book cover of the series, making a few different long and short T-shirts!

https://www.zazzle.com/collections/walking_in_the_dark_with_faith-119581016826772974

I will be adding new items to each of the collections now that I have a bit of more time to do so, in between writing the two books, taking care of the biblical and deliverance counseling ministry, and anything else that the Lord throws at me. 😄😊

Just a reminder–my FOUR books are available on AMAZON, and I would appreciate if you would purchase either the Kindle e-book, paperback or hardcover. Please try not to do the KDP pages, because us authors do NOT make hardly any money off of that. I keep my Kindle books at “single-digit” prices, well below $10, because there is no printing fee involved as there is with the physical books (especially with the one illustrated 😣devotional I have–very expensive printing fees for that one!). So I will thank you in advance for purchasing one of the three main book formats, to financially help me out–between the Zazzle store, the books, and whatever donations I may get (so far, nothing, unfortunately) from this blog page, that will hopefully help keep me from going in the “red”, which is soon to happen.

The job market is a joke; I have applied to so many different types of jobs–all of which I have have some experience from jobs in years past. When my resume is almost an exact match to what these employers are looking for, and YET, I don’t even get a phone call–something very odd is going on. It just doesn’t “add up”.

I will thank you all in advance for either visiting Amazon and looking up my “Walking in the Dark with FAITH” books, and/or my Zazzle “Faith In the Dark” store, and browsing around to see if there’s something you would like to purchase. I have tried to make sure and have enough items with various prices–from magnets that are $5 or so, to pillows and prints that may be upwards of $40-50, thereabouts. The T-shirts and mugs are the more popular items–the few items that have been purchased the most were the shirts and the giant coffee mugs (I have a couple of shirts and mugs–I am very pleased with the quality of them both).

I will post again once I have several more new items in the store! Until then, thank you, and may God bless you all.

Some Info On My Future Writing Endeavors, Deliverance Ministry, Zazzle Store, and My Books on Amazon

UPDATE—
If you do decide to purchase one of my books— thank you ❤️so much, by the way— but I do please ask you to stay away from the KDP Select— they only pay pennies on a dollar. It helps the author out much better if one would buy a Kindle book or one of the physical books instead.

** The price of printing, especially for illustrated books is astronomical. I tried to be very fair in my book prices especially with the hard covers, but I need to make at least a few dollars on each of the books.  Before I revised my book prices the other day, their new rules had me at royalties of under a dollar for some of my books!!😫😩😭☹️ apparently I have to keep 🧐checking KDP publishing more often… 🙄😒
The royalty rate it’s not the best, but it’s better than nothing. 
📚📋📚📋📚📋📚📋📚📋📚📋📚📋📚
Things are 😂getting serious 😏now that I not only put this all on my whiteboard, but I’m also sharing it!!😬🤓

My 📚WRITING ✍️ GOALS for the next year and a half…🙄🙏🙏🙏

PLEASE 📋READ so you can have an idea of WHAT I’ll be writing about, and WHEN it hopefully will be 📚published.

ALSO—contact 🗒️information about my biblical and deliverance ministry counseling;

AND a REMINDER about my 🏢Store on ZAZZLE.☺️https://www.zazzle.com/store/witdwf_jeanelizabeth

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO DO; also it is mainly the ONLY MEANS of INCOME, besides the very small amount that I receive from my family member for helping them out (it unfortunately doesn’t cover all my bills/expenses at the present time).

Paul had his “tent ⛺️making” business; this is what I’m called to do, because we live in a secular society and unfortunately need to pay for whatever we need. It thankfully gets the biblical ✡️📖✝️message out though, through the means of the 📚books, blog 📋posts, devotionals, and 🙏🛡️⚔️⛓️‍💥counseling ministry.

🙏❤️PLEASE help SUPPORT me by going on AMAZON and purchasing my 📚books, make a donation on my 📋BLOG PAGE, and 🙏PRAYING for me to utilize all I’ve learned, in order to help those who seek me out for counseling.

BTW—My “fees” are mainly donations made for the time I am assisting the clients who are receiving help through my non-licensed biblical, Holy-Spirit led counseling ministry. They will be nothing like what we would normally pay for secular counseling or therapy. Biblical Lay counseling is much more affordable (and more spiritually efficient and effective) than what the secular world offers. Contact me for more information.

THANK❤️YOU ALL SO MUCH!!🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️

My ZAZZLE Store is OPENED!!

I finally did it–I opened my online store on Zazzle! It is called, “Faith in the DARK”–of course!

Here are but just a few different items I am selling on Zazzle, pertaining to my WITDWF book series, and plus much more!

When I would go to look for a t-shirt et al with Scripture or some faith message on it, I noticed I had to look far and wide to find such t-shirts. I couldn’t understand how there weren’t enough vendors out there to produce biblically inspirational products. It was a bit frustrating, but then a little over a year and a half ago, I found Zazzle, and a few merchants on there that had what I was looking for! I was thrilled to finally get some t-shirts with some Hebrew or Latin on them, but I wanted more. I wanted to wear certain passages of Scripture as a witness to others of the reliability of God’s Word.

I know it was from the Holy Spirit Who gave me the idea, because I do NOT consider myself “artistic”! I am not gifted with drawing, painting (unless it’s “by the numbers!😂), sculpting, etc. My gifts are in music (singing and playing certain instruments), the ability to “speak in tongues = several languages, but that’s basically where it ends with the “artistic” side of me. So I never thought to do something like create and design products to actually sell.

To be completely honest, I still am not savvy when it comes to all the technical aspects of dealing with this blog page, or even when I am trying to create a post with pics using Quotes Creator, and now my newest addition to helping me create and design items to sell or just for posts–Vecteezy. My “brain power” is basically allotted for all my biblical studies, the dozens of books I have to read to do my homework and research papers ( I have one due at the end of this week–my birthday😫week!), so there isn’t much😂left of me once I get done with another eight-week PhD course!

BUT–I might as well add this here in the blog post now–I will be taking a little “break” from my PhD courses until August, when the Fall semester starts up again. I’ve been going to school full time since September of 2018, and I am TIRED😩! I won’t be sitting around doing nothing–that’s for sure, but the guillotine won’t be hanging over my head as far as discussion posts and papers being due every week. I get to sit back a bit and BREATHE😑, take my time while I DO continue to work and finally FINISH my third and final book in my WITDWF series, as well as working on other book projects!

Also, now that I started this “store” on Zazzle called, “FAITH IN THE DARK”, I can create and design more products to sell that those who like to be a witness to their faith in Christ, can purchase items for themselves, or as gifts for others. Some items for sale are coffee mugs, t-shirts (obviously–and a LOT of them!)–and when I say t-shirts, Zazzle allows you to put it on whatever you’d like–a long sleeve, short-sleeve, tank top, sweatshirt, hoodie, etc. Zazzle encourages us creators to make “collections” of certain designs, so the potential buyer can see what the design would look like on a certain item.

And-not everything I sell has Scripture on it; some people don’t want that, because they may not be a believer, but they do like the picture or design. For example, I have a collection called, “Black-Eyed Susan”–flowers that I just love! I took the pics a couple of years ago, and decided that would be a nice addition as a collection on Zazzle. I made a few example of the pictures on an Ipad cover, print, pillow, and even standard size sheets for the bedroom! Another design is from beautiful pictures of the Grand Canyon–I put that on certain items like a clock, desk mat, t-shirt (that one has a Scripture verse on it), and even a trinket tray-a place to put your jewelry.

What I have up on Zazzle right now is just the beginning–I did as much as I could prior to the semester that started mid-January, and I’ve added more almost every night after doing class work, and and sometimes on the weekends. If you go to my Facebook or Instagram pages, you will also see some products there. I’ll get them on the other social media websites as soon as this course is over on March 7th, but I just wanted enough out there for people to see what I am creating and designing, and so that they can help me through one of the more difficult aspects of my FAITH walk–not having a 9-5 “normal” job, BECAUSE of my “calling”, and the Path that the LORD God put me on. It’s not like I am not allowed to make money, but it seems like I really have to “work hard” for that money (just like writing the books!), and the LORD “stretches” me by making me do things like creating these products–something I thought I would never do! Acts 18:3 tells us that Paul was a tent maker; he had to do something in order to support himself, besides ALSO acting on FAITH that others would support him in his work for the LORD.

I hope you enjoy checking out my Zazzle store; please visit it often, because I will be adding new items consistently throughout each and every month. Again, the links here are just a few of the examples of what you will now see in the store. If you ever would like a certain Bible verse or passage on a t-shirt or any other item, please let me know and I will try to accommodate you with that.

Thank you very much in advance! I will continue to alert you with some newer products, and also let you know how my writing projects are coming, and when the third and final book of the series will be released on Amazon. The books also are all “self-published”–I don’t have the thousands of dollars it takes to hand over to a Christian publisher, nor am I “well known” enough for them to even be interested in me. This has ALL been done out of FAITH, TRUST, and OBEDIENCE.

It probably won’t be until May (that’s the “deadline” I’m setting for myself) that my final book in the series is done, and right after that one I’ll try and write and finish a very important book on the Triune Godhead, the sons of God, divine council, and where all this evil in the world most likely came from, hopefully just before school starts up again in August. This book may just end up being part of my dissertation (if I last 😄that long!) for school-the LORD will advise me about that as well when the time comes. Until then–keep walking in the DARK with FAITH, and NEVER let go of His HAND as He is guiding you! God bless!
