DiVoran has been writing for most of her life. Her first attempt at a story was when she was seven years old and her mother got a new typewriter. DiVoran got to use it and when her dad saw her writing he asked what she was writing about. DiVoran answered that she was writing the story of her life. Her dad’s only comment was, “Well, it’s going to be a very short story.” After most of a lifetime of writing and helping other writers, DiVoran finally launched her own dream which was to write a novel of her own. She now has her Florida Springs trilogy and her novel, a Christian Western Romance, Go West available on Amazon. When speaking about her road to publication, she gives thanks to the Lord for all the people who helped her grow and learn.  She says, “I could never have done it by myself, but when I got going everything fell beautifully into place, and I was glad I had started on my dream.”

The Last Prayer

24 Apr

My Take

DiVoran Lites


My prayer was on the last page of one of my journals from 2005

Lord, I realize the people I most admire have flaws. Only You are wonderful through and through, with no ugly edges. People, even at their best, cannot meet our deepest needs; they sometimes misunderstand, disappoint, expect too much, or can’t be available when I need them. 

This makes me glad to have You as my best friend, Lord, my Wonderful Counselor,  my Ever-present Help in trouble, immediately available around the clock, seven days a week. How wonderful that I belong to you, the, unpolluted Source from which all downstream flow. When I stop to listen to you, my life is restored. 

So I delight in people here on earth, but first and last, I come to You, the only perfect Person, the only ideal Person, the only One whose love is flawless, the only one who is worthy of my highest praise. Oh God, who is like you? There is none to compare with You!

Teach Me More

21 Mar

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Ps 87:11-16

Teach me more about you, how you work, and how you move,

So that I can walk onward in your truth

Until everything within me brings honor to your name,

With all my heart and passion, I will thank you, my God!

I will give glory to your name,

Always and forever! You love me so much, and you placed your greatness upon me. You rescued me from the deepest place of darkness, and

And you have delivered me from a certain death.

Your nurturing love is tender and gentle.

You are slow to get angry yet so swift to show your faithful love.

King David’s Prayer

13 Mar

My Take

DiVoran Lites

Ps 86:6-10

Whenever trouble strikes, I will keep crying out to you,

For I know your help is on the way.

God, there’s no one like you

You outshine all others, and your miracles make it easy to know you

Lord Almighty, you are the one who created all the nations;

Look at them-they’re all on their way! 

Yes, the day will come when they all will worship you 

And put your glory on display

You are the one and only God.

What miracles! What wonders! What greatness belongs to you!
