Synopsis

Smiley devotionals began in a small café, BJ's market café, of North
Little Rock, Arkansas. I've been working at BJ's for the past five years.
The devotionals were born out of a desire to share God's Word with my
coworkers and customers.

I began by writing a short Scripture at the very bottom of the menu
for my co-workers. I began adding a smily saying to the Scripture, like,
"Smile Jesus Loves You! Smile if You Love Him too!!!" Then I began adding
a short commentary about the verse. Eventually, the short comments
grew into a devotional on the back of the menus.

I began each devotional with a smiley face and "!!!" because sets of
three are superlatives in Hebrew, and I ended each devotional with "!!!!"
because that's just the way I am. It also indicates that Jesus is over and
above all superlatives!!!
Curious customers began asking what I was writing. When they found
out it was a devotional, some started requesting copies. Others began
collecting the devotionals.
I was surprised to learn that my little smiley devotionals were being
used in classrooms, at churches, at fellowships, and in a prison ministry
too!

More than a few told me that I should consider publishing them, a
thing I didn't think possible. However, God had other plans.

This book-- Nehemiah -- begins with Nehemiah's contrite heart pouring out its concerns to God and ends with that heart simply asking God to remember it for good. Enveloped between these two beautiful prayers are years in a world full of tears, terrors, trials, tribulations, and even traps!

It is, however, because of these same things that joy, courage, triumph, and God's great grace shines brighter than ever. You see God's hand guiding all things for good toward this small, trusting heart. Join the journey, learn the lessons, grow in grace, and find reasons to smile no matter what you face!!!!
