Bible Stories that End with a Hug review

***** Tyndale House Publishers has provided you with a complimentary copy of this book for reviewing purposes*****

I chose to review this book due to the fact that I have been teaching childrens church during adult church service on Sunday morning. This book was able to help my guide my ideas to journey though the bible. Many kids listen and hear the bible story only in the way that their Sunday School teachers curriculum teaches and sometimes get stuck in hearing only one way- when I am able to show how each story is a HUGE hug from God, kiddos are able to open their eyes to God being present in the pain as well.

The one thing that I would critique is that it lacks in detail. Each story is only a two page spread and is normally only a paragraph in length. If they were to rework it I would recommend that they extend the stories or even maybe make an advanced version for a little older with more depth.

Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

LIFE: The Thing I was Promised I Could Not Do

I feel like every post I make, I am finding more of my voice again. I never in my life felt like I would have a voice to share about some of the more body related posts that I have made, but here I am to share about another personal body part- lol! I realized I had not shared about my breast feeding journey and I feel like it is something that might help someone. So the journey starts on a very cold day in January 2018. As I have noted in previous blogs, I had a c-section which was not 100 percent my goal but 100 percent perfect in every way. I was told going into my c-section that it may take a little longer for my milk to fully come in but it was not going to be impossible. So when my little guy was able to join me in the room we would be in, we went to work. I was still very medicated and he made his wiggly way to the source. I knew not much was coming but he was happy at the end of each feeding attempt, but his blood sugar was low and the nurses wanted me to switch to formula and w...
