This book not only helped me listen for God’s whispers during quiet times with Him but also affirmed the value of hard work and ministry. Jesus was busy caring for others, but also took the time to be alone and pray. We can also find this delicate balance.
“After full days of loving on people and meeting their needs, He pulled away for a bit to rest and pray. And when the crowds grew big and His heart became weary, He pulled away on a boat all by Himself to be with the One who strengthened Him.”
I enjoyed the dance metaphor’s I read in Marr’s first book, Dreaming with God.
“We were made for a dance of work and rest.”
In the chapter, Like the Wildflowers, Marr compares how we grow as we trust Jesus to help us live lives of beauty. We can come to him with all our worries and cares, big or small.
“No detail is too small or insignificant for Him. That project you’re stressed about, the decision you’re working through, that child you’re concerned about, that outfit you want to come together for the big event, that money you should save, that sleep you desperately need…..nothing is too small.”
This would be a great devotional to kick off Spring and refresh your heart and mind! Each chapter ends with a journaling space called Garden Moments for your Soul, where you can answer questions and reflect on the devotion.
I received a free copy of this book from Baker Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
Hello there! I'm Valerie, a mom of four and wife of 27 years. My writing inspires others to cultivate courageous faith and find solace in trusting God, especially in moments of fear and uncertainty. Join me on this adventure as we explore the beauty of trusting God when we are afraid. 
I love the reminder that nothing is too small for God.
The book cover screams spring and your review is great. I love how the author reminds us that no detail is no small or insignificant and we can approach God with our worries
