![]() ![]() Caleb is a friend of Sesily’s sister Seraphina and quickly fell for Sesily upon meeting her, but holds himself back from acting on his feelings for a mysterious reason.

![]() ![]() At his funeral, a lady, Sonya, showed up. ![]() While January mourns her father she is also angry with him. Then her father dies suddenly one night in his bed. She loves being in love and her relationship with Jacques appears to have all the right elements plus her parents love him. Even her own relationship, with Jacques, is held together by her parents’ relationship. January has written three romance novels, inspired by her parents’ relationship and how it tinted her view of the world. Their love had always been strong, through two bouts of fighting her mother’s cancer, and with lots of beautiful yet mundane moments that make up a marriage. Her parents had a magical love story that inspired her writing. January was named by her father after his favorite song, and the line “ It’s June in January, because I’m in love” shows up many times in the book.

The prevailing wisdom said that everything the valley had to offer had already been found. By November 4, 1922, Carter and his team had spent five futile years searching for an undiscovered royal tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. The key to Tut’s discovery was dogged perseverance. ![]() But as ever, debates rage over how to interpret them. Now new findings are emerging that could fill in some of the missing details.

From this work the broad outlines of the life and times of Tut have emerged. Scholars have been studying the royal tomb and its owner ever since. One hundred years ago today British archaeologist Howard Carter and an Egyptian excavation team found the boy king’s final resting place. It is one of the most iconic discoveries in all of archaeology-the treasure-filled tomb of the young Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut. ![]() ![]() The trail itself is beautifully maintained and even has steps in some places.

If so, why? Let God work WITH you and THROUGH you as you read and listen for the individual message God knows you need. God works through the author in Broken Crayons Still Color. Just as God provides us each with individual guidance and experiences, Broken Crayons Still Color gives the reader as much or as little as the individual reader needs. ![]() ![]() Technically, it’s a relatively short book/audiobook, but the interactive resources add to the experience for either a short, contemplative read OR a comprehensive 7 week study. It’s an interactive experience with links, videos, coloring pages, meditative suggestions, questions to contemplate, an ongoing podcast, and tons of resources for personal development and group study for Christians to help each other explore God’s perspective and guidance to use us – even in our various broken states.

I’ve been pretty broken myself recently, so Shelley’s willingness to share and point others to God’s word and guidance for healing and serving God regardless of one’s broken state couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Shelley’s shared testimony is only the beginning of the fellowship and catharsis in Broken Crayons Still Color.
