Hello! I am reading The Mom I Want To Be and wanted to share the story of how I came across it.
I recieve a daily devotional email from Crosswalk.com, which I unfortunately rarely have the time to read. Well, one day I was having a really bad day as a mom, and thought the encouagement would be helpful. At the end of the email was a link to your book. I read the excerpt on Amazon and instantly KNEW I needed to get my hands on a copy. I couldn’t find it locally, so I had Barnes & Noble order it for me. All week I looked foward to picking it up! The day it came in happened to be a rare day in my world… my children were gone overnight to my in-laws and my husband was at work.
I had ALL of the rainy afternoon to myself to read! I then discovered that you are from Oklahoma! I’m in Edmond (just north of OKC). THEN tonight I was reading comments on a blog of a mom I recently met and I saw you had commented. I don’t usually write to authors or anything, but just felt that I had to!
I have to tell you the Lord is bringing such healing to my heart. I thought I had dealt with so much of the wounds from my childhood in my 10 years of knowing Christ. Lately, though, I have been struggling more than ever with anger, frustration and just plain crankiness toward my children.
I have to move past this! I feel that their little years are going by so fast and I want to cherish each day! I don’t want to let my past rob me of joy any longer! Your book has been such a great tool for the Lord to walk me step by step thru deeper healing and better perspective on what it is to disciple and instruct the children He has entrusted to me.
THANK YOU for your obedience to Him. I have sensed Him leading me to write at some point. I pray that I can be as effective to His Glory as He has blessed you to be. You are an inspiration to share what great things He has done!
Many Blessings,
Christie G.
Dear Christie,
