“I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people.” Exodus 26:12

Happy Saturday to you! Guess who is having a birthday today? Need a minute? Oh, I’ll tell you! My book! Specifically, my first book. My eldest. Firstborn. Trusting God with Every Breath is 3 years old today! Cue the cake and candles!

These past 3 years have been filled with firsts. Interviews on live radio, podcasts, and taped episodes. Recording my audio version, which was super fun, yet super exhausting! Viewing my book in so many places, popping up in airports, gas stations, book stores, and the Museum of the Bible! Hearing from readers across the the world and rejoicing with them how God has used the book to increase their faith, unshackle their chains, and bring hope again where only darkness reigned.

How many times have I heard the phrase, “She’s talking just to me!” Or “everyday the devotion is written specifically for me!” All I can do is smile. God is so good to us. So very good.

Trusting God with Every Breath has sold over 200,000+ copies worldwide and continues to rank high with all those who measure sales. Because of her popularity, 3 additional books have joined her family: the audio version, the Spanish version, and her companion pink journal. Actually 4 additional books, but that’s a conversation for early 2027, hint, hint!

If you’ve followed me on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, you’re aware of my latest news. And if you’re not a social media aficionado (I wasn’t much either before becoming an author!), I’ll spill the beans! I have a brand new book releasing on November 3rd called Trusting God with All My Heart! Cue the band as yes, it’s a big deal! God led me in writing this book last summer. Actually, it’s pretty much all I did! It will be a daily prayer book, filled with scripture, prayer, devotion, and an action steps. My artwork helps each page look fancy! Preorders are available everywhere, even on my new website.

“What? You have a new website? Am I on it right now?” Haha, not yet. My new website, amymecham.com, will be live soon and all traffic from amylinnea.com will transfer instantly through a portal in the clouds. While I adore my current blog site (I’ve had it for 12 years and am honestly a bit sad when I think about saying goodbye…!), my new website will have the best idea ever: my shop! I’ll be selling authored copies of all my books, artwork made by yours truly, and everything else will be basically the same as my current blog. Except better. Way better.

So that’s about it for today. My book’s 3rd birthday. My new book coming November 3rd. My new website. Such exciting times! Now I realize fully why God asked me to stop teaching in the classroom. He asked me to step away while loving my job. But I knew. And now I really know. Writing, talking, and sharing Jesus is what I’ll be doing now. Well, I’ve done that before, yes, but now, I have more time to dive all in. Like get my hair wet type thing. And He was so kind as to allow me to keep my toes in education as an adjunct professor at Liberty University. The best of both worlds!

As I close, please pray for my Auntie Ruth. She’s been one of my biggest cheerleaders with my blogs, books, and paintings. She’s battling brain cancer and not doing so well anymore physically. She and my uncle need our prayers for peace and rest. Their faith is deep, but life’s still hard. Especially when facing the end of life. I know God’s got them. I know God’s got you. And I know God’s got me. Isn’t that so comforting to know?

Hugs, Amy
