Oh, where do I begin. Well, let me start by saying, this is a book that I will not just be reading once. I plan on keeping it readily available to rereadi when Im in need of a spiritual B-12 boost of wisdom and encouragement!!

This is the book I’ve been searching for the majority of my adult life. It has enlightened me in the areas that I have struggled with and still do. With three filled marriages and having 3 grown, adult children who has been affected by the marital choices I’ve made….. I felt like I was damaged goods that nobody would ever want. It has opened my eyes and my heart to see where I fell short and not just where “he” fell short. I’m so eager to learn where I can improve in these areas of my life and my friend Audrey is definitely one who I trust, with helping me, She’ll never know how many times over the last several years how much she has ministered to me literally on days my heart felt like it was dying. On some of my worst days, her encouragement to me, to get out of bed, to keep me putting 1 foot in front of the other has been a life changer. Through her experiences and wisdom to help guide me to get out of my past mind frames. My stinkin thinkin. Where I’ve been stuck on a hamster wheel making the same mistakes over and over and over in each marriage. All I saw were areas where my exes needed to changing. I now see that my focus was pointed in the wrong direction. Only true joy and happiness come from the Father above. We can’t depend on others to make sure we fulfill our purpose and destiny. Our true happiness and fulfillment doesn’t come from other people. We can only depend on God for those things. For years, unknowingly, I was setting myself up for a fall because I did depend on my exes to make me happy. I’m even guilty of that with the relationships with my children.

This book has encouraged my heart and my spirit. I’m in my 50s now and for the last several years, I thought my chance and opportunity for happiness is pretty much long gone by now. But that’s a lie from the enemy. As my eyes become more open with the help from precious friends like Audrey, who have walked through this journey, I know happiness is possible to obtain, that God is not finished with me yet. He just patiently waiting for us. He loves when we talk to Him and to share our thoughts with Him even when we know He already knows everything even before it happens. I know that I’m NOT damaged goods that no one else will want because of what I’ve been through and have done.

Thank you, Audrey for your faithfulness to God. I’m thankful for your bravery In sharing your journey. In doing so, I know that I have not taken that journey to that well alone and that there are others that have been at that same well and have survived And have come away from it thriving. Gods’s not done with us yet!!!
