Road to Perfection
Perfection is not going to happen in this life.
A month ago I was so excited to have my book go to print! I had worked hard editing and felt like God was telling me to let it go ... put a pin in it! If I waited for perfection, it would never have gotten published.
Fast forward almost 30 days, and don't you know as I was reading it, I found a mistake! I knew it wasn't perfect; in fact, I put a note in my "Thank You" in the back apologizing for any mistakes found. Some of the mistakes I came across were made when I was actually making a correction for something else; others ... just happened. I can't do "perfect;" I was still disappointed in myself though. Have you ever been there?
I jumped right in again this week reading it from front to back looking for mistakes. This all brought to mind the chorus of Micah Tyler's new song "Perfectly."
"I give You failures, and You give me grace. All of my problems don't push You away. And somehow You love somebody like me. Don't know how You do it, but You do it perfectly. You do it perfectly."
God is perfect; so when I make mistakes in writing or in life, I can remember to lean into Him.
One of the words in Creative Bible Study: A Collection of Words is "new." When we bought a "new" house for the first time, I learned that "new" does not mean "perfect!" In a similar way, when we become believers, we are made new—not perfect. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us this:
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
The next time we begin striving for perfection, let's stop and remember we don't have to be perfect because we have a Savior Who loves us perfectly!
And for those of you who already purchased my book with mistakes, here's a scavenger hunt for you with a few of them! Find the mistakes in the passages for the words: Aroma, Celebrate, Desert, Invisible, Journey, Peace, and Seasons.
You may even find more! The good news is: Unlike my words and mistakes, God's Word is inerrant and infallible! Praise the Lord!

Lynn Austin's - The Lumber Baron's Wife
A story of redemption and perseverance—Lynn Austin shares the story of three women living across two timelines with varying life circumstances, but in the end, all draw strength from the same God. Two women relocate to Lake Michigan during the time of the lumbar barons. Hannah comes from a Christian background but struggles from the loss of all three of her children. Kate grew up in a brothel and marries a lumbar baron. Both are looking for new beginnings.
In present day Michigan, Ashley moves to the same town with her husband for his new job and ends up settling into Hannah's old home. While facing financial difficulties and an unexpected pregnancy, Ashley draws strength from the stories of the past and finds the hope of redemption for the future.
This is a beautifully woven story of how God works through unexpected friendships and gives strength through unexpected trials. Thank you, NetGalley and Tyndale House for this ARC for my review; all opinions are my own.

An Unconventional Lady by Sarah E. Ladd
Once again, Sarah Ladd serves up a plot filled with mystery, suspense, and clean wholesome romance all within a regency historical setting. She gives us glimpses into a changing medical mindset with a focus on phrenology - "the idea that a person's personality and dispositions were predetermined by the shape of their head." Ella Wilde has grown up with the stigma of "an unconventional lady." She wants to throw off the expectations of society and the rumors left by her mother's mysterious death. Gabriel Rowe has information which may help her clear her mother's name and her own reputation. Together they strive to prove what others cannot see.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Tomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Look Up, Friend!
Creative Bible study reaches past a moment of sitting and studying; it involves learning to walk through every moment of every day saying - "I spy God!”
What if we could connect everyday words to God’s Word, the Bible, to help us know and grow closer to The Word, Jesus? What if words could bring meaning to our life in a whole new way? Connecting God's Word with His world in our everyday lives reminds us He is near and desires us to know Him.

Children's Book for Valentine's & Easter!
I’m excited to add a new book to our children's book review page! This is a read not only for the kids, but also to the adult reader whomever we may be. Elizabeth Blaker Brown offers us a tool which we can use now with our children and also pass down to the generations to come.
A child is told they are loved from fingertip to fingertip throughout their years of growing up. When the child is sad because he doesn’t see that as very much love as he looks at the space between his thumb to his pinky, his mother explains she means from the fingertip of one of her hands to the fingertip of her other as her arms are outstretched. She points out it’s all of her loving all of him no matter how he behaves or where he may be.
I love that this book also points to Jesus’ great love for us on the cross and challenges us to consider how we are loving Jesus with a one-handed love or our whole self from fingertip to fingertip.
Available on Amazon.
