Humorous, heartfelt observations on life from an everymom trying to follow God
Too often, women wonder if the abundant life Jesus promised is buried somewhere beneath the piles of dirty laundry or the layers of crumbs and abandoned toys on the floor of the minivan. Overwhelming to-do lists—pay the bills, go to work, parent the children, volunteer at church, bake four dozen cupcakes before bed—can feel like weights around their necks.
Jessie Clemence knows the struggles of women everywhere who are just trying to get through the million stresses—small and large—that come with living day to day. This funny, warm, and honest book speaks directly to them, and offers real hope.
With hilarity and wit sure to make every mom chuckle in recognition, Jessie discusses what the Bible says about reactions to daily
frustrations and God’s expectations for Christians’ lives. For any overwhelmed woman wanting a new way of handling life’s crazy moments, God is waiting to offer abundant life, peace, and joy—all found through seeking Him.

My Take:
This book was so much fun to read. Real life situations I could certainly relate to. Problems and life challenges that stress us out as moms or just women. Jessie gives humorous, yet thought-provoking encouragement and insight using her own life and Scripture as examples. There were so many things I could relate to, I often found myself saying - "Yep, that's me!".
The chapters were easy to read and I enjoyed Jessie's style of writing. Her illustrations were quite entertaining and often filled with humor. The issues she addressed - control, stress of our own making, procrastination, loving people, our season of life, were all areas I needed encouragement in.
I would recommend this book. I received my copy courtesy of Kregel Publications and was not asked to review it positively.
