MARIA'S MUSINGS
February is commonly known as the month of love due to Valentine's Day. Love is in the air. Can you feel it? Perhaps it's not romantic love you're experiencing, and that's okay. My hope for you is to know Jesus' love for you. Jesus exudes love. Jesus is love. If you're a follower of Christ, let's bear witness to God's love for us.
1 John 4:8 & 16: "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love... God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

We sailed smoothly through the summer of 2024 to write the last four novels of the Not Again series. Currently, I'm looking for new launch crew members. They are my shipmates who help me get the book launched and navigate the high seas. For those who read, review, and promote my books, I make it easy for you as the captain. So, do you want to sail the open seas with me to get the Not Again series known throughout the world? Contact me directly to become fishers of mankind via my author email, authormariathenriksen@gmail.com to apply. We'll be launching again this year. Join our next excursion with Not Again Val's Story.

I created an interactive and entertaining Facebook event that meets on Wednesday once a month called Game Night. "Love, Letters, and Lattes" is the theme for February's Game Night and will be hosted in my reader group, Maria's Muses.
January's Game Night kicked off 2026 with a year-long reading challenge. The winner receives a $25 Amazon gift card at the end of 2026. Be sure to join us for the fun on February 25 starting at 4pm EST!
