About Jill English Johnston

God writes His story on every heart, if we only pause to read it. My heart has lived in a fantasy world since early childhood and am delighted that God has finally brought me to the place where I can bring the fantasies to life through story. I am currently working on a fantasy trilogy (of course) but I also post thoughts, reflections and (hopefully) inspiration to my website: tabletsofhumanhearts.wordpress.com I am a follower of the Rabbi Jesus, married to my best friend and inspiration, and the mother of three incredible children, one daughter and two sons, a son-in-love, a daughter-in-love and two adorable granddaughters. When not writing, I passionately pursue prayer, reading (never enough time to read them all!), and the outdoors. My husband and I both served in the US Navy and have lived/travelled through many states and all over Asia. We both still enjoy travelling, but we really love our home in New Braunfels, located at the Texas Hill Country.

Re: Refresh

Hugs. Smiles. Gentle rain. Great books. Cool breezes. Silver moons. Soft blankets. Jingling bells. Shared meals. Crackling fire. Quiet sunrises. Autumn leaves. Baby’s laughter. Playful puppies. Sand in the toes. Bubbling creeks. Crimson sunsets. Sparrows singing. Fresh baked bread. Snow … Continue reading
