Recently I was given a copy of Max Lucado’s new book, God's Story, Your Story: When His Becomes Yours
At first glance of the book, I was not disappointed at all. As I expected, the book is very easy to read, and grabs you in right away. The book is a collection of stories of things that have happened to people, and how those stories intertwine with God’s Story. The purpose of the book is to help you, as the reader to be able to relate the seemingly insignificant things, or maybe even the tragedies of your life into the “Bigger Picture”.
Reading this book has really changed the way I’m looking at life. And isn’t that what we’re supposed to be doing in the first place? As Christian’s, we are called to keep our eyes not on earthly things, but on the things of heaven. We’re called to focus on our inheritance, especially in times of trouble. And, for me, this has helped me so much during trials in my life. God has a story for all of us. He has the ultimate story, we are all a part of a great story, a novel of history. And our life, is just a page, a chapter, a lesson in the great story of time. When we’re able to take our eyes off this small piece and see it for what it is, it gives our lives purpose.
There are days when it seems like nothing I do matters. Nothing significant happens in my day, it’s just the normal hum drum of laundry and dishes. Most days, I’m very grateful for these sorts of days, because there isn’t a crisis 
I hope reading my review has encouraged you to go buy the book. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have read it.

claims that you don’t have to diet to have success. I agree with the statements in the book about lean muscle building up your metabolism, but I do not agree that you do not have to diet. The testimonials that claim weight loss was achieved without dieting later admit that they cut out most junk food. Well……. That probably had some effect on your weight loss! 
I do like the workout, and think it is beneficial, especially as we are in the busy time of the year with school and the holidays approaching! So, I’m going to order the DVD’s of the workout today. The workout is laid out for you completely in the book, but I think it will just be easier to pop the video in than try to fumble through the pages. And, I’m trying to eliminate my excuses 
It’s good to be on the downhill slide again! I’m not sure what the scale will show this week because I wasn’t able to walk AT ALL 
It was a crazy crazy week, and there just wasn’t time for anything at all 
I stayed the night in the hospital with her, and loved spending her first night of life with her. I was with her when her first birthday ended and when her first full day of life began
