It’s All Under Control Book Review and Giveaway

Susan 5 Comments

  The walls of the waiting room seemed to hedge in closer. I felt a tightness in my chest. Tears threatened to spill down my face. What was happening to me? I wiggled around on the tapestry-covered bench trying to find a way to calm myself. I struggle to cry in the privacy of my home so there was no way I was going to burst out crying in a Doctor’s waiting room full of strangers! I had to somehow pull myself together. I knew something was brewing on my hour and a half drive to pick up my mom for her medical procedure. I felt disconnected, overwhelmed, stressed, and worn out. Anxiety was rearing its ugly head. Since I had no time or resources to figure it out I brushed it off and drove on. My panic rose as I anxiously … [Read more...]

“Made Like Martha” Book Review and Giveaway

Susan Leave a Comment

  Katie Reid has written the book I desperately needed to read and embrace. “Made Like Martha” encapsulated how I was feeling without knowing I even felt that way. But the Lord knew. I have been striving, trying to be more, and battling constant weariness! I’ve been trying to make a 2.0 version of myself! As if God makes mistakes or needs my help in improving who He shaped me to be! I am a Martha! I am embracing my Martha-ness! (Although, I think I may have splashes of Mary tendencies as I have gotten older.) Just saying! My worn-out flesh was awakened by Katie’s beautifully written truths. Katie Reid gives great insights as she walks the reader through these verses and sheds light on embracing our Mary and Martha nature's, … [Read more...]

“Remarkable Faith” Book Review

Susan Leave a Comment

Have you ever felt that your faith is just not up to snuff? I have questioned and critiqued my own faith and compared it to others and have often found myself lacking. I have allowed lies and misperceptions to derail me.  I have felt unworthy of God's amazing grace. I know in my heart that Jesus loves us right where we are at.He doesn't critique or compare us. He loves us all the same, in spite of and because of our imperfections. It has been hard for me to fathom that I could have remarkable faith. How could I, an ordinary woman, have remarkable faith? I need to remind myself that I am not lacking or a disappointment to God and neither are you! I think we all struggle with comparison and feeling less than. Jesus never sees us that … [Read more...]

“The Perfect You” book review

Susan Leave a Comment

I had the pleasure of being on the launch team for the release of Dr. Caroline Leaf's newest book "The Perfect You". I loved it!  It is a fascinating book about discovering the Perfect You that God designed us to be and focusing on Him which will enable us to love, reach beyond ourselves, and grow into the fullest expression of His design and plan. Dr. Leaf emphasizes that whatever moves into our conscious awareness is what we spend the most time thinking about. Dr. Caroline Leaf is a cognitive neuroscientist with a Ph.D. in Communication Pathology and a BSc in Logopedics and Audiology, specializing in metacognitive and cognitive neuropsychology. Dr. Leaf is the author of “Switch on Your Brain”, “Who Switched off My Brain?”, “Think & … [Read more...]

“Coffee for Your Heart” is Nourishment for the Soul

Susan 2 Comments

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing Holley Gerth’s new book release of “Coffee for Your Heart”, which was formerly “God’s Heart for You”. I loved it! I have read many of her books over the years and I love her writing style which is beautifully unique and heartfelt. She bares her soul and speaks from a genuinely authentic place. Holley's love for the Lord is so apparent within the pages of her books. "Coffee for Your Heart" is an amazing book of 40 faith-filled reminders of encouraging affirmations of how beloved we truly are to the Lord. Using scripture and life experiences she sheds light on God’s amazing grace in our lives. Each chapter ends with a few soul-searching reflection questions to answer and a beautifully written … [Read more...]
