Little did I know the adventure God had in store for me. It has been a roller coaster with many ups and downs, but each step has led me to where I am today. I pray this is a place where you will find encouragement and maybe even a laugh or two. My heart is to share God’s word with you in a loving and practical way.

If you choose to read these devotions one a day, you’ll have enough material for more than a month. Alternatively, a busy mom might pick an appropriate topic from a nicely arranged chapter list and jump straight to the devotion most appropriate (jumping back for more, since each devotion ends with a link to the contents again). Titles cover deep issues of healing and brokenness, and everyday problems like baskets of dirty clothes. Feel burned out? There’s a devotion for that, and for when your work feels fruitless or fears overwhelm you.
Each devotion begins with a Biblical quote (maybe several quotes) and ends in prayer. In between the reader is asked or guided through thought-provoking questions to see God’s truth behind life’s distractions. Who or what do you fear? Asks the author in one place. And Why should we have confidence in God?
These devotions are all sufficiently long to draw the reader in, while still being short enough for a quick lunch break before school’s out again. Both authors are open and honest, reminding busy moms we’re all in this together—and God is with us. And both offer wise and practical advice, as well as prayer.
For me, these devotions read like phone calls, with much left unsaid and much to ponder alone. The authors teach what they’ve learned rather than sharing complex details. And the lessons are good, well-written and well-planned for “the craziness of our lives.”
For readers needing more, there are links to more books embedded in the text—a neat idea.
Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy and I offer my honest review.

this book hit on a lot of subjects, feelings that I struggled with. I refer back to this book often for the way it's worded it touches me helps me in understanding and each time I read over a section I learn something new.
