Life is Messy by Matthew Kelly

"The mess of life is both inevitable and unexpected. It is filled with delightful mysteries and frustrating predicaments. In our disposable culture, we throw broken things away. So what will we do with broken people, broken relationships, broken institutions, broken families, and of course, our very own broken selves?" -Matthew Kelly
I don't remember how I got hold of this book...it just appeared on my bookshelf. It was neatly stacked between some of my other nonfiction books. The title caught my eye so I pulled it from the shelf and read the back cover. Wow! "Can someone who has been broken be healed and become more beautiful and more loveable than ever before? The answer will fill you with hope."
With continued commitment on my mind and dedication in my heart, I walk away from the screen to go sit on my couch to read. Click on the book to purchase your own copy.

"Loving others without losing the best of who you are." - Lysa Terkeurst
Reading the title alone brings tears to my eyes. We all know how hard it is to say goodbye, but setting those boundaries...yikes!
I'm so excited to begin reading this book. My purchase did include a six session study guide and streaming videos. I must mention that it is intended for a group session, but I will just be on this journey alone. It was highly recommended several months ago by a dear friend when I needed to create boundaries the most.

Good Boundaries And Goodbyes by Lysa Terkeurst
We ALL do deserve to stop suffering because of what others have personally done to us. We are beautiful souls and deserve to live beautifully as God intended.
"I can heal. I can forgive. I can trust God. And none of those beautiful realities are held hostage by another person." - Lysa Terkeurst
This book was initially a Kindle Library free read. I since have purchased my own copy, because I caught myself wanting to highlight quotes, annotate on the margins, and/or dog-earring pages for quick reference. It's that good!

Joy in the Morning A Sixty-Day Devotional by Kym Keck
"Let me share my story with you. If God can help me, He can help anyone. " - Cory Losier
We must seek Him.
This book was lent to me by a dear friend. We were having a great conversation about how addictions affect relationships. As I reflected on our discussion, I questioned myself, “How often does one ever just stop to consider how it is affecting the addict personally?” I’d be the first to admit, I haven’t been as considerate as I should be. I've been too quick to judge and point fingers. I know, who am I to judge? Well dear readers, I've been wrong, and I’ve done wrong. So now I sit here in front of this screen with commitment on my mind and dedication in my heart.
The author's struggles, courage and commitment were so inspiring. There is hope.
For those of you who struggle or have loved ones that are struggling...I highly recommend this book.
I did a little more research and found him on YouTube (Forgiven AF Podcast: S3 E6 "Born Loser" with Cory Losier)

Honestly, this might be the best 25 out of 50 devotions I have ever read. I'm only half way though, but I think this will be one
