I was instantly attracted to the chapter titles of the new book I am reading called All I need Is Jesus and a Good Pair of Jeans by Susanna Foth Aughtmon. Here are just a few of them:
- I Am Oh So Tired
- I Am Not A Supermodel
- I Have Pride Issues
- I Worry About Things
- I Want Chocolate to Solve My Problems (my personal favorite!)
- I Have A Long Way To Go
Need I say more? Probably not, so let me just share this quote from the introduction:
“We need a whole lot of Jesus. Because there is this woman that we long to be and 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 rher 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.” P. 15
This book arrived by bedside through a dear friend. I was just thinking to myself, “I need to find something new to read,” and somehow she just knew. Don’t you just love when that happens?
Oh Lord, give me more of You and less of me…and more friends like her to point that out to me!
Looking forward,
Stacey
