I am reading a new book...besides my Bible, which I must admit, I am thoroughly intrigued by the life of Joseph.
My new book is titled Falling in Love with Jesus and it's written by Dee Brestin & Kathy Troccoli. I picked up a copy at McKay's (the used bookstore) in Chattanooga. The cover is a peaceful green with a beautiful pink rose.
I have highlighted so many wonderful quotes in chapter 2...that while I am sitting here on break, I thought I would post what has spoken to my heart today.
* "Sometimes our Lord comes with a miracle, as He did for Mary of Bethany when He raised her brother, Lazarus, from the dead. Sometimes He simply gives us the grace to face the difficulties of life." ~ Kathy
* "One of the characteristics of someone who 'practices the presence of God' is that he or she draws near, in dialogue with Him, no matter the circumstances." ~ Kathy
* "We often assume, though this is absolutely wrong theologically, that if someone is living wholeheartedly for God, her life will be free of trouble." ~ Kathy
* "God doesn't always give us the husbands or the babies for which we pray. But He will give us access to all we need to live an abundant life...But we've learned that when God says 'No,' He will always provide a greater 'Yes'." ~ Kathy
