I love to celebrate Galentine’s Day and #BookLove in February, so I’m hosting an Embracing Trust Book Bundle Giveaway this week! This is Joanna Weaver’s newest book – and it’s so very timely for each one of us! If you struggle to trust God with EVERY part of you life, you are not alone.
Trusting God is something every person finds difficult (whether they admit it or not), but it’s an especially big topic for women. We are the ones who watch over our family members more closely than anyone else, aside from God. We know every detail of what our people are eating and drinking (and whether it’s healthy or not). We know the state of their clothing, their shoes, their hair (it needs to be cut), their teeth (they need to be cleaned), their eyes (he’s squinting more, isn’t he?), how much they’ve exercised this week, what they’re reading, how much they’ve been on their screen(s), if they’ve seen any friends, how their friendships and love lives are going…and most important of all, we are usually pretty aware of the state of their spiritual and emotional health.
Fully Embrace Trust
If some of the above rings true for you, then that’s probably why there are times when you worry! But here’s the good news: While women tend to worry more, we also tend to PRAY more!
Let’s move from a worry mindset to a trust mindset and start fresh with a new look at how to truth God fully in every season, circumstance, and change.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
Joanna’s new book Embracing Trust: The Art of Letting Go and Holding On to a Forever-Faithful God is so timely for us in 2023. Our lives seem to get more complicated with every passing year, but our God is BIGGER than every problem, every issue, every detail of our lives. He’s bigger than every single thing in this world that can tempt us as women to fear.
Book Description
Trusting God. It’s such a cliché. Yet nothing means more to our heavenly Father than when we surrender our lives completely to him and choose to believe he has our best in mind. David modeled that kind of deliberate dependence: as a shepherd boy, as a man running for his life, as a king who made grave mistakes. In both triumph and failure, David looked to God rather than to himself.
In Embracing Trust, Joanna Weaver, bestselling author of the runaway hit Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, shares personal stories, practical tips, and life-changing principles gleaned from Scripture. If you struggle with disappointment from the past, frustration with the present, or fear of the future, Joanna invites you to trust in the Lord with all your heart. Relinquishing control and putting your hope in a forever-faithful Father–that’s the beautiful secret of unshakeable faith. This book includes a 10-week companion Bible study.
About the Author
Joanna Weaver is the bestselling and award-winning author of Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, as well as Having a Mary Spirit and Lazarus Awakening. A pastor’s wife, mother of three, and avid Bible teacher, Joanna loves speaking to women about the powerful freedom that is found in making Jesus Lord and trusting him for things bigger than themselves. She lives with her family in Hamilton, Montana.

February 9, 2023 at 6:48 pmMy favorite book is The Great Gatsby. So I thoroughly enjoyed reading Beautiful Little Fools by Jillian Cantor! It tells the Gatsby ‘tale’ from the point of view of the female characters in the original book, along with their backstories!

February 9, 2023 at 9:10 pmI liked The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adam’s a lot! I had several rereads (and works I’m familiar with) as a result of my job. I did a production of Into the Woods, so spending the summer with Stephen Sondheim’s music and lyrics along with James Lapine’s script was pretty special; I was still discovering things when we performed!

February 12, 2023 at 9:47 pmI read the “Nano Stealth” series by Vikki Kestrel. It is a Sci-fi which is by no way a typical genre for me. I have never been disappointed by any of her books however, whether historical, current or suspense..
