I was flattered to be chosen to be a part of the launch Team for being ok with Where You Are by Stacey Thacker.
Matter of fact this is the second book in which Stacey has been an author of that I have read in the last year that has deeply touched my life. The first was Hope for the Weary Mom which she co-authored with Brooke McGothloin. That book found me in a cery dark and lonely place back in January and February of this year. It brought me to my knees with broken tears.
Soooo when I saw Stacey was putting together a launch team for her new book which technically launched September 3rd on Amazon. I had try. Stacey writes from the deepest parts of her heart. Most of us would cringe to let someone else know whats in those parts of our hearts, but through her boldness and courage Stacey touches THOUSANDS OF WOMEN!
So as I started this book everything was going amazing in my life. Literally AMAZING! But in the last week. I have become NOT ok with where i am. It’s Amazing how God gives just what you need right when you need it. And this book was no different. As I answered the study question in the first few chapters I found myself thinking, “wow things really are going well!” But little did I know what was coming this week.
This week has been full of tests, trials, frustrations and faith testing moments.
I’m not okay but I am getting there. Between Hope For The Weary Mom and Being Ok With Where You are At I am finding myself with quotes and promises running through my head at each turn.
The book had 10 chapters but you may not have to read them in order. You should read the first two chapters in order. They go hand in hand and are essential to the process but the rest of the book you can hop around to which chapter best pertains to you and your situation.
For instance: This week I have come to realize that people who said two short months ago that the had our Autic sons best interests in mind, really don’t. I am not struggling with the ” c word” (chapter 4 -Comparison) but instead I needed reminding of Standing on His promises (chapter 5) Having Perseverance (chapter 8) and living thankfully (chapter 9).
His promises is not only will he never leave ME. Or forsake me, but he won’t leave or forsake Weasel either. HE ALWAYS has Weasel’s best interest in mind…always!
I need to persevere for Weasels sake. I need to fight for him, his needs and our morals as a family!
And then i need to live thankfully…i need to be thankful for these trials. Because it is through these trials that my attitude will point to God! These trials have the potential of helping others.. And that is what my llife is all about…helping others!
This book has touched my life so deeply and no matter your circumstances and where you are God Can and WILL. Help you to be okay with where you are!
You can find the book on Amazon for $3.99
