Book Review: My Foolish Heart

The war in the Middle East, drunk driving, agoraphobia.. These are some of the issues this book of fiction tries to tackle. I have read through the first 6 chapters and life has made it hard for me to 'get into' the story.  Although I don't find myself disliking the main character, I haven't really connected with her or anyone else in the story.

As a regular book blogger, I would love to hear your own experience if you have read this book.  I received this book free from Tyndale Publishing House in return for providing an honest review.

Be careful who you tell your dreams to!

I went with my son recently to see a production of Joseph and the Amazing Coat at a local community college. As I sat in the dark theater and watched the young men in the production, one of the lessons in the first part of the story hit me fresh and clear. Joseph told his dream to the wrong people at the wrong time. In his naivity, he thought his brothers would rejoice with him when he shared his dreams with them. Instead, it caused their jealous to turn to hatred of him and the favor of the father on his life. Many times in my own life, I have been too quick to share what God is showing me about the future with others. The truth is not everyone is called to share your dreams. There are circumstances and life issues people deal with that get in the way of their ability to 'rejoice with those who rejoice'. Just because you are there for other people does not mean they are capable of being there for you. Wisdom teaches us to wait and be careful about our conversation and 'the...

Loving You

Today is my awesome Husband's 49th birthday!! We have been together forever! He has been with me through my very worst and is truly God's greatest gift to my life.  He LOVES when I write him poetry. Below is his birthday poem! Before I knew what love was,                                       You saw me. Before we ever held hands,                                       You knew me. My soul- Your soul  forming together So near, completely unaware…. Unaware that God had a master plan.           In shaping me, He thought of you…. He gave me eye...

A Cry for our Prodigals

  When we see those that we love wandering into the path of destruction, we want so badly to stop them. We want to grab them, shake them, wake them up. But God has given each of His children a free will. He is watching. He is interceding. He won’t leave us alone in our worry.   He offers each of us the peace of God in the middle of each mess. He knows the helplessness we feel. Only the Holy Spirit can give us the peace that passes understanding.   Holy Spirit, move today. Come and fill each parent who is suffering for their wayward child. Breath peace upon each husband pleading for a prodigal wife.  Pour in the oil for each grandma hurting for the straying grandchild.  Hold the wife worn out from crying for the lost husband.  We need you.    Your word teaches us that you bring the Prodigal home. Today, we bring our prodigals to you.  We trust You with them in the mess. Even as the father in Luke 15 allowed his son to leave, we know he wat...
