Relationships are the gift of life. I would like to thank the people who have inspired, encouraged, and prayed for me while in the process of this book, especially Ali Contois, Patty Hanway, Patty Rose, Voni Ribera, and Sharon Randall.
Voni Ribera, thank you for giving me your fathers book on Philippians. A special thanks to Avon Malone for his hard workhe is with the Lord but is still touching lives here on earth. Thank you, Avon, for your work for Gods kingdom.
The Grooveys and the Groovettes! You know who you are! Simply awesome and radically fun! To use an old-school phraseyou light up my life! Thanks.
Christy Harper, Val Rousch, Lori Sisemore, Lorri Steerthanks for being modern-day encouragers. Priceless!
Nicku Bastanithanks for lending me your Mac when my computer wasnt working. Terry Perazzathanks for being an extraordinary neighbor and friend who is always ready to help out. Liana Tateyour coffee dates and friendship are special gifts. Thanks for both. Just being with you helps me trust God more.
Britta Usedomwatching your process has increased my trust in a God who is always at work in human lives. You are very special.
My precious familyRay, Justin, Janae, Ashley, Austin, Cameron, and Megan. You are all a joy in my life. You encourage me, give me space when I am writing, have coffee with me when I am processing, and love me through all of lifes meantimes. Giant hugs!
This book was written while planning two weddings, so I want to mention Janae Brier, my new daughter-in-love, and Austin Jones, my new son-in-love. While I lived through the singleness of my adult children, I didnt know that God had the two of you planned to step in and be part of our family. Your entrance into our lives is my daily reminder that we can trust Godall the time.
Wrapping up my thanks, I must mention my editor Vicki Crumpton. Thanks for all you have meant to me as a writer. You polish off the rough spots so women can be ministered to by the words in my books. And thanks to all those at Baker Publishing Group who have worked on my books. I am blessed by the privilege of being a Revell author. My literary agent, Les Stobbethank you for believing in me and the things God has called me to do.
I saved the best for last. All thanks goes to Jesus Christ, who has redeemed me, continually pulling me up out of my own ways and into his arms. I love him the most, thank him the most, and pray that he will be pleased and honored as women learn to place their trust in him alone.
Heart to Heart
Can I start this book with a disclaimer? Some days I am not a woman who trusts God with all my cares, problems, and details. There, I said it. Truth is, there are times I sit and stew in a self-pity party of insecurity, worry, and fear. And, yes, there are times I try to overanalyze and figure out everything on my own, seeking for a piece of control. But I have found that when I dont trust God with my life and my circumstances, I have very little peace. I have experienced bothtrust and fear. And I like trust and the life it gives me much more than I like the anxiety that comes from relying on my own limited resources.
I want to grow as a woman who trusts Godespecially in the ordinary things. So I am hoping that you will walk with me through the pages of this book and through the challenges we both face in life. One thing is certain: God longs to give us his peace just as much as we long to receive it. And there is no joy in this world like a mind at peaceit trumps everything.
I dont know where you live or what your situation is, but I do know that even if our lives are different, we have much in common. You and I go through tough stuff in this life. From daily frustrations and responsibilities to the bigger challenges, life is hard, and if we are not careful, the hard things can overwhelm us and rob us of joy while diluting our faith.
I am quite an expert on living in freak-out mode, so I speak from experience. But a few years ago it dawned on me that there really is a better way to live and that I no longer had to be bound by the way I had done things in the past. I could learn a healthier and more spiritually alive way to approach life. I didnt have to go from A to Z in one giant step. I could go from A to B, then travel along to C, going through the steps of growth while each and every situation played out in my life. In his Word, God teaches us the basic principles for living this way, and I have great news for you. These principles work!
