I just finished  The Shack by William Young.

It's one of those books that after you read it, you want everyone you know to read it.  If you ever questioned why a good God would allows bad to happen, this book might open your mind and heart to the answer.  For me, it opened up my heart and mind a bit more to understand the love my Heavenly Father has for me.  I was once again reminded that His ways are higher than my ways and His thoughts higher than my thoughts.  God cannot be contained in our understanding.  He reveals Himself to us, however, bit by bit, percept upon percept, if we allow it.  This book revealed a bit more to me the heart of God. 

There are so many little passages that touched me.  Here's one at the end of the book that touched me:

Mack, if anything matters then every thing  matters.  Because you are important, everything you do is important.  Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my (God's) purposes are accomplished and nothing will ever be the same again."

Our life has purpose.  God created us for a purpose.

Hey sweet friend!

Reading your rec has me about believing that I need to read this book too! Thank you for sharing what you are learning.

I would encourage you to read So You Don't Want to Go To Church Anymore. It has given me so much to think about - in a good way.

Love all the photos you have put up! You have such a beautiful family!

Love,
Leslie
