Are you longing to see God at work in the details of your life? Are you an ordinary person, with ordinary days, desiring inspiration to live them to the full? Do you have little people calling to you from the bathroom, bedroom, or behind the couch right now as you try to decide whether or not this book is for you? Deliberate no further. Fresh Perspective for Ordinary Days was written with you in mind!
With short, easy-to-read chapters, Sprinkles takes you into the experiences of a young mother who is seeking to find a hope-filled, Christ-centered perspective on her life. As she quiets her heart to spend moments with the Lord in the midst of her ordinary days, she finds that He sprinkles beauty and revival in the most simple of times.
A collection of poems, recipes, and story vignettes from the life of a woman deep in the season of mothering young children while also navigating the many challenges of travel and cross-cultural living.
Such a refreshing, heartening read. Hannah so well captures the tender, compassionate way God walks with His own though the highs and lows of daily, crazy life. Her writing tone is sincere, laced with gentle humor and a sweet simplicity.
Here is a taste:
A broken cup, A leaking jar, That’s me—in awe Of Who You Are.
You pick me up. (Is that a smile?) “These cracks?” You say “Now that’s My Style.”
You hold me close, You fill me up I could forget I’m a broken cup
Until I feel That leaky crack. Ashamed, tears slide Right down my back
But when I look Upon your face I see Your joy— This must be grace!
Your style still makes Me feel quite awed. To delight in me, You must be God.
(Chapter 18 got just a little awkward theologically, so I was glad she added a clarifying note at the end of that one! 😊)
I love this book and it’s so relatable as a mom living overseas! It had me chuckling out loud a few times and there’s very few books that I do that. Well done, Hannah!
