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.

Answers in the quiet

Posted on August 7, 2018 by Jill English Johnston

Sometimes it would be nice if we had signposts set out for us. “This way.” “Turn here.” “Left up ahead.” We might even appreciate, “Second star to the right and straight on ’til morning.” But instead we often feel like … Continue reading →

Showing off in the quiet

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Jill English Johnston

Sometimes life’s interruptions provide the opportunity to rest. And reflection Such has been my experience this week. The past two months (maybe more) have been quite hectic and while the unexpected, unplanned trip to my dad’s seemed like another thing … Continue reading →
