Bible Studies

I'm going to use this blog to journal my way through life. It will help me keep track of prayers, journaling, answers to prayer, praises, spiritual links/articles, books I'm reading, my growth and so on. Maybe it will be helpful to others as well. My goals with this blog are to grow in the Lord, grow as a person, grow as a wife and mother, and grow as a friend. I pray that it will benefit any of you reading as well. Thanks for visiting and sharing my journey :)

Great Book about Depression and Suicide

Life, In Spite of Me is a book that draws you in with description and raw emotions.  It is filled with miracles, faith, hope, and trusting in God.  The book is also about how Kristen Anderson turned her life toward God and helping others through her tragic experiences.  My favorite quote in the book was this: "It helps me so much to know that even when I don't have plans for myself, I can trust that God has plans for me.  Even when I don't have hope, he has hope for me.  And even when I don't see a future for myself, he does.  I just have to have faith.".  This book is a true inside look into the life of someone who has dealt with depression and suicide.
