After Death Comes Life
I launched Devotional Diva as a single person in 2009 under the name Renee Johnson. It was my dream to use that platform to get noticed and become a published author. God knew. A few months later, NavPress signed me for my first book, Faithbook of Jesus, a 365-daily devotional.

I experienced tremendous growth as an author those first few years as well as personal. My first book sold so well that NavPress signed me for another book. Then the economy tanked. It was a God-sized miracle that Harvest House signed me for…

Believing We Are Right…But Still Being So Very Wrong
Editor’s Note: She’s back again, our veteran writer with my favorite name! Maggie Meadows Cooper!

Welcome Little Diva!
My daughter is here! Her name is Zoey; I’ll probably refer to her as little Z on here though. We had a smooth delivery and both are doing well. My husband was home and right by my side! She feels like such a special gift from God! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers as she prepared to come into the world.

Drifting Perfection
This week has been filled with tears, laughter and exhaustion. It's been 4 years to the month that my late husband, Shane, and I took our children to Colorado on a ski trip. For years I wanted to go again, but the fears of traveling alone after my husband died, kept me from ever embarking on this adventure.

“Jesus, I thank You that You love Joelle so much. She is so special to You. I thank You, Holy Spirit that You work in her heart.

She is such a gift to Daddy and me, and we love her so much. Thank you that You have such good plans for her.”
