I just started reading a book called All I Need Is Jesus and A Good Pair of Jeans. I've just read the intro and the first chapter but wanted to share a couple of bits from it. It seemed a good fit for how I was feeling and thought it might relate to some of you also. . .
"We need a whole lot of Jesus. Because there is this woman that we long to be and then there is the woman that we actually are. Right here. Right now. The woman who struggles but longs to be more. The woman who is empty who longs to be full. The dissatisfied woman who longs to be content. The woman who longs to be overflowing with goodness and peace and have her impulse spending under control. And the only thing that can bridge the gap between these two women is buckets of grace. Unending grace. And the only person who embodies this grace is Jesus."
I know many times it is tiring to try to be a supergirl(like the author talks about). My prayer today is to let go of who I am not and be thankful for being God's child, saved by grace.
I'll try to update as I read more of the book but if you want to check it out yourself the author is Susanna Foth Aughtmon.
