Have fun with a girlfriend via Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes!

What kind of book do you need at 3 am when you can't sleep? What book have you read lately you can recommend to all your girlfriends?  Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes by Robin Jones Gunn fulfilled both of those needs last week... I absolutely devoured the book in 3 hours!  It made me laugh and it made me cry, then it made me laugh all over again.

I could definitely relate to the main character of the book, Summer.  Her entire life she has 'played it safe'. The story is about how God stretches her in order to deal with an area of her life she needs to surrender to Him.. I won't ruin the story by telling you more about her spiritual journey.  The journey itself takes place when she visits her lifelong penpal, Noelle, in Holland.

Noelle is on a life journey as well (aren't we all?).  The book draws us into her life and spirit, as she allows Gos to begin a new work in her as well.

I have told several ladies to read this book!  I especially enjoyed the comraderie I felt with Christian women. It made me want to hug the neck of a fellow sisterchick!

I received this book free from WaterBrook Multnomah for agreeing to review this book!

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...

God's time is the right time!

This morning I got up ready for my new healthy lifestyle! I drank a big glass of water and took my vitamin, exercised, walked the dog and made a healthy breakfast. As I sat down to eat, a wave of nausea came over me and I began to shake and sweat. After I threw my healthy breakfast in the trash, I realized what had happened: I had taken my vitamin on an empty stomach. No, it didn't make me feel better this morning, but hopefully I won't make that mistake again. Now for the spiritual application.... There is an order for what God has for our lives just as there is an order for taking things like vitamins. This morning, I got ahead of myself. I was so excited about my goal to get healthy that I didn't take the time to remember the basics I already knew. God has perfect timing. I look forward in faith to what He has promised me. I believe with everything in me that this is the year I will begin to see His promises and plans for me fulfilled. He is lining everything up ...
