My Guest Today: JoAnn Vicknair

She grew up in Anahuac, TX and gave her life to the Lord at age 14 at the tiny Baptist Church. Later, she married, became a nurse, and started a family.

Today, my guest and her husband Phillip live in Louisiana and between them, they have 4 children and 10 grandchildren. Now she is the author of a book called: "It's storytime Memaw." And has a podcast with the same name…

 "Over the years, I spent more time in prayer. My most significant faith adventure has been producing my book by God's direction as led by the Holy Spirit. It started years ago, when my 2 & 5 yr old grands asked for a story. I prayed, God answered, and from then on, every visit, I heard, "It's storytime Memaw." until I told them one.Later, I prayed, "God, give me stories of You. They need You in their lives, help them draw closer to You." This went on for 8 yrs, then both accepted Jesus as Savior.3 months later, Mar. 2020, during prayer, God spoke. I clearly heard Him say, "Have them published." Immediately I said yes.I had never done social media and never used a computer. During the stay-at-home mandate, I bought a computer and God saw me through.

I had never spoken to a crowd before, but I have no problem bragging on God and sharing what He's done in my life. Not only has He labeled me an author by giving me a book, but He's also called me to be a storyteller, by giving me a podcast to tell old and new stories He continues to give me. It's all of Him."
