📅 Released July 15, 2025
📚 Now available on Amazon in Paperback, Hardcover, and Kindle eBook
🔗 Order your copy here


🌍 A Book for Every Woman Who’s Ever Whispered, “I Can’t Do This Anymore…”

From the pulpit to the prayer closet, from the hospital room to the courtroom, one question rises from hearts across the world:

"How do I keep going when everything inside me says to give up?"

That question is at the heart of James Langston’s new release:
The Will to Succeed (2nd Edition): Stories of Mothers, Mentors, and the Power to Persevere.

And the answer?
It’s found in real stories of real women—mothers, mentors, fighters—who stared down impossible odds and found strength not in themselves, but in the God who carried them.

This second edition is more than a revision—it’s a restoration.

It features 11 unforgettable testimonies of women who fought through:

  • Abuse and abandonment

  • Loss and loneliness

  • Financial struggles

  • Spiritual battles

  • And the relentless pressure to give up

But they didn’t.
They stood. They survived. They succeeded.

Each chapter draws readers into a journey—sometimes raw, often emotional, but always redemptive. And by the end, one message echoes clearly:

"If they made it, so can I."


💬 Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

In a world where women are being pulled in a thousand directions—raising families, leading churches, surviving trauma, serving others—this book is both timely and timeless.

Whether you're a:

  • Single mom holding down two jobs,

  • Pastor’s wife carrying quiet burdens,

  • Teacher, grandmother, business owner, or believer in a silent battle…

You’ll find yourself in these pages.
You’ll see your fight.
And most importantly—you’ll rediscover your will to succeed.

🎬 "OFF THE CHAIN." No Other Words Needed.

That’s the only way to describe the official video trailer for The Will to Succeed (2nd Edition).

What began as a burden on my heart has now become a blazing testimony to the power of perseverance. This trailer doesn’t just promote a book—it declares hope for the hopeless, strength for the weary, and faith for the broken.

It brings the stories of 11 courageous women to life.
Women who were written off—but God wrote them back in.
Women who were wounded—but refused to let the wound be their ending.
Women who cried out, “Lord, how long?”—and received the strength to stand until.


💬 What This Book Is All About

The Will to Succeed (2nd Edition) isn’t about perfection.
It’s about persistence.
It’s about what happens when faith refuses to die and love won’t let go.

Through heartbreak, poverty, abandonment, addiction, motherhood, and spiritual warfare—these women became walking evidence that God still restores, rebuilds, and revives.

Each chapter will make you say:

“That’s me… that’s my life… that’s my battle… but also, that can be my victory.”


🔥 What This Trailer Does

The trailer invites you not just to watch—but to feel.
To feel seen.
To feel called higher.
To believe again.

You’ll hear the heartbeat of women who lived the verses we often quote:

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work…”

This trailer is not hype—it’s healing.

Title: One Day. One Gift. One Soul at a Time. – #GivingTuesday 2025

Every year, the world pauses for #GivingTuesday—a global day of generosity. But for us, every day on the mission field is about giving. Giving time. Giving love. Giving hope. Giving Jesus.

We’re missionaries in the Philippines, serving communities that the world too often overlooks. We’ve prayed with families living in flood-ravaged homes. We’ve handed out rice and Bibles. We’ve stood in dirt roads proclaiming the Good News. And by God’s grace, we’ll keep going—because lives are being changed.

But we can’t do this alone.

Today, we’re inviting you to be part of something eternal. When you give, you're not just supporting a ministry—you’re sending the Gospel into places that may never hear it otherwise.

💧 Your gift can help dig a well.
🍚 Feed a family for a week.
📖 Put a Bible in a student’s hands.
🙏 Send a missionary to someone desperate for prayer.

And yes—change one life forever.

“I know some may wonder, ‘Why should I help?’ My answer: Just pray. Ask the Lord if you should support this work. Then simply do what He tells you to do.” —James Langston

We’ve seen God multiply what seemed small. We’ve seen Him take a $1 donation and stretch it into a week of meals. We’ve seen Him heal, restore, and rebuild lives. That’s what this ministry is about—faith that acts and love that moves.

So today, before the day ends, we ask:

👉 Would you help us help them?
👉 Would you be the answer to someone’s prayer?

Visit: pomitaly.homestead.com
Pray. Give. Share. Believe with us.

Together, let’s make this Giving Tuesday unforgettable—for heaven’s sake.

📝 EXPANDED BLOGPOST VERSION

Title: Before You Lay Down Tonight, Consider This…
Blog URL Suggestion: joybells49.blogspot.com

We greet you in the wonderful name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

By the time you read this, it might be the start of your day—or the final moment before your head hits the pillow. Wherever you are, whatever your situation, let this simple reminder settle in your heart:

You don’t have to do everything. But you can do something.

In our time on the mission field here in the Philippines, we’ve learned that the needs are constant—but so is God’s faithfulness. Every day we step out in faith. We pray. We serve. We stretch. And we trust.

But ministry doesn’t run on passion alone.

That’s why we’re asking you, humbly and sincerely, to do what you can—no more, no less.

Let’s break it down:

  • If 500 people gave just $1, that’s $500.

  • If 1,000 people gave just $1, that’s $1,000.

It may seem small. But it's not.
Because when you give with love, with faith, and with purpose, that dollar becomes something God can multiply.

It becomes a Bible in a village.
It becomes a meal for a hungry child.
It becomes gas for a motorcycle heading to a prayer meeting in the mountains.
It becomes a blessing with eternal impact.

We are missionaries on a missionary journey—living the Great Commission daily here in the Philippines. And we’re not asking for riches. We’re simply asking for partnership.

Please:

Pray for us—your prayers strengthen our hands and guard our path.
Believe God with us—your faith fuels our mission.
Give whatever God places on your heart—your obedience opens doors.

“Little is much when God is in it.”

We’re not trying to impress you with numbers or tug at your emotions. We’re just asking you to join us—in whatever way you can.

Let’s change the world—one prayer, one dollar, one soul at a time.

With grateful hearts,

Title: Awesome Week — July 14 to 21
Posted at: joybells49.blogspot.com

As we step into a brand new week—July 14 through 21—I want to pause and speak something over your life:
This will be an awesome week.

Now, I know life doesn’t always go the way we planned.
Things come up. Circumstances shift. News hits us out of nowhere.
But even then—even in the middle of the unexpected—God remains the same.

So, I’m praying that this week:

  • Whatever surprises come your way... they will not shake your joy.

  • Whatever pressures arise... they will not quench your hope.

  • Whatever burdens feel heavy... they will not silence your faith.

Because the same God who brought you this far is not done writing your story.

He’s in this Monday. He’s already in your Friday. And He’ll be there come Sunday morning.

By the end of this week, I pray you’ll have a praise report.
Something that will allow you to stand, smile, and say confidently:

“Let me tell you something… God is GOOD!”


🙏 A Simple Prayer for the Week:

Lord, we thank You for the gift of another week.
We ask for strength in our weakness, peace in our chaos, and joy in every step.
May we walk by faith and not by sight—and finish the week with a deeper testimony of Your goodness.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Whatever lies ahead, face it with faith.
Live it with purpose.
And finish it with praise.

Title: From Water to Wine — Why Jesus’ First Miracle Still Matters

Posted at: joybells49.blogspot.com

When Jesus began His earthly ministry, He didn’t walk into a temple, part the sky, or raise someone from the grave.

Instead, He quietly showed up at a wedding in a small village called Cana of Galilee, where He turned ordinary water into extraordinary wine.

To some, it may seem like an odd way to launch a public ministry. But there is nothing random about what the Holy Spirit chose as Jesus’ first miracle (John 2:1–11). Every miracle, every sign, every moment of Jesus’ life was on purpose—with a divine message woven into the act.

So why this miracle first?

Because it testifies of this eternal truth:

Jesus can change things.

He didn’t just add flavor to a wedding reception.
He revealed His divine identity—as the One who turns emptiness into overflow, shame into celebration, and the natural into the supernatural.


🌊 What Did the Miracle Mean?

The water jars were filled for ceremonial washing—symbolizing the old covenant of ritual and law. But when Jesus transformed that water into wine, He was declaring:

🔄 A new covenant had come.
💡 Transformation would no longer come through rituals, but through Him.
🕊️ What was external would now become internal.

He was sending a message not only to those present, but to all of us:

"If I can turn water into wine, imagine what I can do with your brokenness, your bitterness, your barrenness."


🔥 The Same Jesus Still Changes Things

This miracle wasn’t about wine. It was about change.

Jesus still changes:

  • Sorrow into Joy

  • Sickness into Health

  • Sin into Salvation

  • Death into Life

He doesn’t need a stage.
He doesn’t require perfect circumstances.
He just needs your yes.

Because the miracle isn’t just what He does…
It’s who He is.


🙌 Final Thought:

Whether you’re running out of strength, joy, or hope—remember this:

Jesus changes things. And above all… He changes people.

Come to Him empty.
And watch Him fill you with new wine.

📖 “This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory.” —John 2:11
