It sounds intriguing. As for the mail order bride, I just don't know. I guess that would take a lot of soul searching. Maybe when I was much younger I would have jumped at it, but now that I'm older that would be hard to decide. I feel that God has a person for us and I just don't know that I could make a blind choice. <br />Thank you for letting us get to know you a little better. <br />Blessings<br />KatrinaBetween the Pages with Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965157511733848115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124987486481611446.post-53462921147422353112013-09-10T09:50:53.475-04:002013-09-10T09:50:53.475-04:00I loved the novella - so sweet and I just love kn...I loved the novella - so sweet and I just love knowing all I can about the characters!

I think with our advanced ways of communicating, people are not as "far away" as they once where and may be easier for God to show us what direction to go without the need for us to subscribe to mail-order bride services. :) And it does definitely sound like a younger thing to do...unless you were widowed with a ton of kids...Melissa Jagearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439765292197683329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124987486481611446.post-52681279403962211742013-09-10T02:23:19.865-04:002013-09-10T02:23:19.865-04:00Instead of across country, we seem to be doing it ...Instead of across country, we seem to be doing it across continents now.

Of coarse if I was in a situation such as life or death for a loved one or if I was a widow with kids that needed a dad... I'd have to pray a LOT about it first though, and make sure it was what I was being led to do. I think if it was just for me (i.e. I was lonely or just wanted a husband) then probably no. But I don't know what I'd be capable of doing in those kinds of situations though. :/ Very interesting to think about! Thanks Melissa. :)<br /><br />Blessings, Amada (pronounced: a.m.a.th.a)ASC Book Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219182071736438971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124987486481611446.post-1687273610282765472013-09-09T16:18:06.057-04:002013-09-09T16:18:06.057-04:00Hi, Melissa!

Your books have cute storylines, & I would love to read them.<br /><br />I guess, if I was living in the era & setting of your books, & it was in my younger days when I gave no consideration to the Lord's plans for my life - I may have been interested in being a mail-order bride, if I really wanted to be married, & there were no other possibilities. <br /><br />Today - as a person who allows Him to direct her paths, & whose only consideration for a spouse would be someone who loved the Lord as she did, the answer would probably be no.<br /> bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124987486481611446.post-18699044703329652562013-09-09T15:13:59.365-04:002013-09-09T15:13:59.365-04:00I am excited for Melissa about her book!!!

In regard to the question - I might have taken off and become a mail-order bride and it would have probably taken having no one left, say for instance my family all passed away to push me to take off across the country to become one. I would of course would have wanted to write for a bit to get acquainted that way, but if I felt the man was genuine I would have probably gone. It may be a thing that there were no man available around where they lived too, as to why they picked up and moved across country to do this - that is true of today where I live, but today I would be more leery of doing that than back in simpler and more peaceful times. lorlyn63https://www.blogger.com/profile/03147530172469052567noreply@blogger.com
