Every
fall Swalwell asks God for a word upon which to concentrate for the
coming year. For 2015 it was hope. She shares lessons she gleaned
during the fall and winter of 2014-2015. Some of the lessons include:
- that our focus needs to change from an earthly perspective to a heavenly one
- we are to fully embrace the moment while continuing to have hope for God's planned future
- we can choose peace instead of worry
- we can understand God's purpose in trials, trusting Him
- we can invite God into our mess
- we are to recognize the privilege of being part of God's plan
Swalwell's
book is a good example of how we can learn about God and His plan for
us through our daily experiences. I did find some repetition in the
experiences covered, such as losing her employment as of February of
2015. Nevertheless, this collection of 33 devotions is a good one.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
