We are 12 days into the new year – how many of you have already abandoned your New Year’s resolutions? In the book, I repeatedly discuss our struggle with slowing down and focusing on God’s plan. There were many times we were lost, but our constant activity made us unaware of this fact.
Some of us have likely said “In 2016, I’m going to slow down…I’m going to focus more on spending time with God, with my family, with my friends.” But 12 days into it, how many of us are running and not holding on to what we promised, what we resolved to do this year?
My book illustrates how God works to find his lost sheep. He longs to break us from the entrapment of living such a busy, worldly life. I relate how God put a halt to my running and how He began working in our lives. My wish to you this New Year is that you slow down to listen to the still, small voice of God.
A Christian Selfie excerpt…
” The louder the noise grew from these activities, the more silent God was for us. The more we listened to our teams, fans and administrators, the less we listened to God. Now, I’m not saying you can’t do these things without serving the Lord. But, we were running nonstop! We were just on our feet and not on our knees! Routines turned into motions. Tasks turned into chaos. The calendar filled up until the only spot empty was our hearts which had placed God on a back shelf. There we were—Christians who had stopped listening and were lost at sea. Do you feel like you are drowning in the affairs of this world? Are you listening to the still small voice that guides you from right and wrong? Are you being swallowed by the “whale?”
God retrieves his lost sheep in one way or another…Jonah was swallowed by a whale then spewed out for service to God. God’s retrieval of David and me came in the form of a Tupperware party…”
Read my book, A Christian Selfie, to discover how God retrieved us as a couple. There are so many stories I share, yet woven through it all are truths you can relate and grow into a deeper relationship with God.

Can’t wait to read how a Tupperware Party was used to help you & David. God works in the most unlikely places when we least expect it. Taking the bait & buying the book!

Thank you for this wonderful reminder twelve days into 2016….it took me two Subdays to get caught up in the work week woes to miss church. Your words offered such a jolt of humility and focus. Cannot wait for my copy of the book and being able to use this blog, you and your readers as a place to regroup and refocus on my walk. Peace in Christ.
