The One Year Holy Land Moments Devotional Review

**Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for the purposes of reviewing it, these opinions are my own.****

It has been a long time since I last blogged. There have been many season changed in 2013, I have chosen for this rocky season to be filled with God up front and fully instead of getting frustrated and taking it into my own hands and eventually giving it to Him. I think thats the way he likes it too!

As part of that journey, I am seeking His face and trying to learn more by reading amazing theologian and christian womens books. The most recent read through I have done, and will start doing as a daily devotional on my birthday! is," The One Year Holy Land Moments Devotional," by Rabbi Yechiel Echstein and Dr. Tremper Longman III.

The subtitle piece explains why I REALLY wanted to get to review and read this book, " Inspiring Reflections on Scripture from a Jewish Rabbi and a Christian Theologian."

When I was in high school I was a part of PALS (Peer Assistance and Leadership, my group basically describes this pairing: a jew, a mormon, a catholic, baptist and non church goer. The one thing we could all agree on was that someone elses view on a writing helps us see a different side of our own beliefs.

This book is very thorough on including bible references and has a sabbath/ 7th day reflection days. Includes indexing if you would like to jump around and follow through the bible.

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. 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 new eyes

LIFE: Processing the Unknown

In the 90's, television and books portrayed the family with 2.5 children and a house with a two car garage where dad worked outside of the home and mom had dinner ready in the evenings. The show would continue with grandma and grandpa popping in for a visit or a trip to their house. My 90's family did not have this imagery- and that's okay. I grew up with divorced parents, and the parents I lived with full time both were from countries other than the US- meaning aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents all still lived in their respective native land. This meant that I did not necessarily have the same visitation schedule as families who all live in the same city, state, or country. I know from pictures that the first time that my Nana ( my dads mom) Sheila, from England, came to visit was the spring after I was born. I have pictures of myself in a stroller with my Nana below the Tower of Americas. The next time I would get the opportunity to be with my grandmother was arou

REVIEW: You Can Do This by Tricia Lott Williford

Tricia and her book baby {necessary information} I received this book from the author as a part of the launch team for free. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher. {review: You Can Do This } Tricia is a clear and concise writer detailing some hurtful and raw points in her life. Through every chapter there is a reflection assignment to help you work through the tough spots in your life and find the confidence in Him to work through them. She sprinkles quotes from strong famous people, as well as strong Biblical truths. In chapter 5 she reminds you that the comment section does not have the right to get you down. On page 62, Tricias therapist reminds us that, " Everybody has a chapter of their life they don't read out loud." She introduced me to 6 word stories- which I am very excited to give a try. In chapter 9 she introduces us to her second love story. "No for now isn't no forever"!!!! Every cha
