This was for me🥰🥰🥰

I believe Yahweh had me when in mind when he placed this on your heart 💜 call me crazy but to think he though of me and and placed what I needed on your heart months ago is amazing. I have been following you for quite some time years and I haven’t ever read a book of yours( sis I don’t like to be convicted🤣)this time God pushed me to listen I’m grateful to know I’m not alone to know that your still pulling for people like me when I can’t do it my self is a blessing. Thanks 🥰🥰🥰

Awesome must read for a busy lady

Heather’s books always have a personal message for me.i have just finished listening to this book for the first time and I’m definitely going to listen to it again.

You learn to be yourself, accept things you can’t change for the time being, adjust your schedule to align with God. Lots of matters discussed in this book which are helpful for me as a young mom!

Thank you Heather,May God continue to use you

Overall pretty good

Overall, this was a pretty good book. I follow Heather on her social media so a lot of this was stuff that I had read before. No new thoughts were introduced if you follow her on her platforms. I was hoping for a deeper dive. Because of this, I believe this book is great for the new believer. If you have been a Christian for a while & comfortable with navigating the Bible, this may not be the book for you. She gave really good tips on how to save money & unwind.

Heather is the big sister we all need

Thank God for the anointing on Heather's life and on her family's. I've been following her work since I was in college (2011) and she has continued to be an inspiration. This book has definitely encouraged me to fill up on the source (JESUS) and not run on empty.

Not much useful information, mostly preaching, out-of-touch author

First of all, this is a very religious book. I am religious but this was a big sermon instead of any useful information. The author is out of touch with her audience. Not everyone has the ability to travel as they wish, with a village to pitch in for childcare.
I also was very frustrated with the metaphors regarding the author's son, Roman. She made a big deal about God protecting you from things you shouldn't have, the way she had to protect baby Roman from Nerf gun bullets, This is the reason, she says, why your prayers may not be answered, because God has to protect you from something that you don't understand can hurt you, like Roman doesn't understand Nerf bullets can hurt him.. What about a family who wants somewhere better to live than their car? Or a family that has a child fighting cancer? Or a family that doesn't have enough food to eat? There are many things someone may pray for that cannot be compared to Nerf bullets. I also didn't like the example of Roman wanting to go to the pool but he couldn't because he was too young. As a parent who took multiple kids to the pool by herself their whole lives, you put that baby in a water baby carrier or a floatie because you have to, because you have other children in the pool and you have to watch them all, all by yourself. It must be nice to have a village of other people to help you. I imagine more parents are familiar with my experience.
Although this is a short book, it was tedious. I tried to return it, but alas, I purchased with dollars rather than a credit so it was not returnable. Since I paid for it, I decided to finish iit, but I will not listen to anything else from this author in the future.
