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.

Praise: Proclaiming the Glory of God

Posted on May 26, 2024 by Jill English Johnston

Seven years ago today my mother passed away. She’s missed so much in our families’ lives these past seven years. It makes me sad that mom wasn’t around to see the publication of my husband’s and my seven book Be Still photo devotional series. Although she never read my books, I’d like to think she would have liked them and would have loved Jon’s photos. I look forward to the day when we’ll get to enjoy them together in God’s Kingdom and proclaim his glory together forever. Join me for my Praise blog series as I share the inspiration of Be Still and the updated content to the first book of the series. Continue reading →

Reynosa, Mexico – More than Enough

Posted on April 30, 2024 by Jill English Johnston

The journey to Reynosa, Mexico was a profound experience, highlighting the power of compassion and resourcefulness. Our abundance of supplies and volunteers mirrored the story of the Israelites building the tabernacle in the desert. The message resonates with the idea that what may seem insufficient in our hands becomes more than enough in the hands of Jesus. Continue reading →

Reynosa, Mexico – Loaves and Fishes

Posted on April 16, 2024 by Jill English Johnston

The trip to Reynosa came after a lesson on the Loaves and Fishes which told of Jesus’ compassion for the needy and his ability to multiply resources. God has also given us so much that we can use to meet the needs of others, just as Roland and Carolyn Ashby did in Reynosa. Their faith, passion, and connections built a community that continues to grow and thrive. Don’t think you have something to share? Take the Stewardship Assessment I’ve included in this blog.
