Amara never wanted to be queen. But standing in the shadows is no longer an option.
When she’s chosen to compete for King Galen’s hand, Amara has no intention of winning. She’s not after a crown, only the truth about her past and her people. She knows she doesn’t belong. Royal etiquette isn’t her strength.
All she has is a warning to stay silent and an opal pendant she was told to safeguard at all costs. But as questions rise and secrets stir, Amara begins to wonder: Could the pendant tie her to the truth she’s been searching for?
In a kingdom on the edge, can one young woman uncover goodness, truth, and beauty—and find the courage to stand—for such a time as this?
A Time to Stand is a loose Esther retelling—a sweeping tale of hidden identity, sacrificial love, and the quiet strength that can shift the course of a kingdom.
Divorce isn’t just an event—it’s an unraveling. It can leave behind questions, quiet heartache, and a road you never planned to walk. But healing is possible. Joy is possible. A new life is possible.
With honesty, warmth, and poetic insight, Paula shares how God used family and friends, international adventures, art galleries and books, wise counselors and sacred moments to restore her soul and renew her hope.

What leaves you awestruck?
Is it the hush of a snowfall, the shimmer of starlight, or the hush of God’s voice in the quiet? Awestruck is a devotional and interactive journal designed to awaken your heart to the majesty of God and the wonder woven into everyday life.
Each entry begins with a single word—chosen for its beauty, depth, or simplicity—and invites you to pause and reflect. Through rich word pictures and storytelling, you’ll encounter the splendor of creation, the warmth of connection, and the quiet holiness of ordinary moments. From glowing fireflies to soul-stirring sunsets, Awestruck beckons you to see with new eyes.
Every devotional ends with two guided spaces:
- Linger Longer, where you slow down, breathe deep, and savor the moment.
- Dive Deeper, where you respond through journaling, Scripture reflection, or heart-searching questions.
Whether you’re curled up with a cup of coffee or stepping outside into the stillness of morning, this devotional offers a space to dwell with God and rediscover the wonder that’s been there all along.
Cultivate awe. Live wide-eyed. Linger longer. Begin your journey into wonder today.
