Made to Move Mountains by Kristen Welch

Kristen Welch’s latest book, “Made to Move Mountains: How God Uses our Dreams And Disasters To Accomplish The Impossible” is so very timely. As we as a society face  the decision of what to do with our fear in this season of uncertainty, be encouraged as you read this book of hope and reminders of the character of God throughout the high and low times of life. A deeply personal look at her own dreams and disasters, Kristen shares with authenticity and a heavenly perspective how to take the next step. I loved this quote from the beginning of the book: “I pray you are inspired to step out in faith and climb the mountains in front of you—not because you are good enough or adequate or able, but because God makes a way where there seems to be no way. We stand on the edge of the cliffs of our lives, and although we are afraid of stepping into the unknown, terrified where we will land and unsure of how to overcome, we do not run away. We stand firm in the face of the impossible, muster up as much faith as we can—even as small as a mustard seed—and we take one step. We were made to move mountains.”

Each chapter is full of pages you will want to mark up and dog-ear. Each chapter has space to journal and questions to prompt heart work. I loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone going through a faith shaking time, wondering if now is the time to pursue a dream, or just wanting an encouragement in who God is. As you read, you will be reminded there is a beautiful peace that comes with the knowledge and trust that the mountains in your life are put there for a purpose to grow your faith.

I received this book for free from the publisher. My opinions are my own.

"This Thing Of Ours" Book Review

When I saw "This Thing Of Ours: How Faith Saved My Mafia Marriage" by Cammy Franzese offered by Book Sneeze, I just had to get it. I know very little about the Mafia and I thought it was incredibly interesting that a woman married to a mobster would have written a book, talking about faith of all things. "This Thing Of Ours" goes through the tumultuous years of the Franzese marriage. It tells about their meeting, engagement, marriage, jail sentences, children, and how Cammy learns and grows with each stage. I was genuinely surprised at how little she knew of her husband's involvement in the Mob, but I really enjoyed reading this book. Cammy does a great job of describing different events in her life and weaving her belief in the Lord through it all. This is book is not to read looking for perfection. She is a real person with real struggles and is clear from the start that she is not without sin. I think if you keep that in mind as you are reading, it isn't ...

Prayers for Prodigals

Parenting is often a hard and lonely road we walk. Having a prodigal child can make it even more isolated. Prayers for Prodigals is a wonderful resource for when you are feeling despair on your parenting journey. Each day is a verse to meditate on and a heartfelt prayer filled with scripture to uplifted encourage, and renew your weary soul.  I especially liked having prayers when it felt like my own prayers had run dry. To have pre written prayers for your child can be such an encouragement when you are feeling lost and hopeless.  This devotional will surely remind you of the power of prayer and the power of God to work in your life and your child’s.  #PrayersforProdigalsUpdatedandExpanded #NetGalley

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing Review

Are you constantly wishing your home was cleaner and more organized? Do you struggle to keep things  tidy  once you do get your house organized? I feel like this all the time! I would get so discouraged by my lack of organizational skills and my house would stay in a state of disarray. When I saw The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up  as a choice for a book I could review, I was so excited. I just moved and knew it would be the perfect time to get my new house in order. Let me just say, I loved this book! The KonMari method really does work and it's so simple! The book itself is a very quick read and you learn so much! I had a few favorite take aways: -ask yourself "Does this spark joy?" for every item you pick up. It was a really freeing question for me and enabled me to give away or throw away bags of clothes, papers, toys, and other household items. - Tackle your house all at once. Don't take things slowly, but rather pull out all of your clothes at one time, pape...
