#NotConsumed Devotional

I am praying for you and thank you so much for this amazing devotional. I have laughed and cried my way through and above all, I have felt the Lord really speaking into my life through your words. Thank you for being a willing vessel.

Thank you for taking the time to write this series. I۪m battling Stage 4 breast cancer, and like you, I don۪t want to go through this, but I have no choice. But I do have a choice in my attitude and how I handle it. I۪ve been talking about that a lot with my husband and friends the past few months as I began treatment and look ahead to the difficult road ahead of me this year. I pray that God will be glorified each day and in each conversation, blog post, text, etc. that I have with others. It۪s not always easy, but I۪m thankful that no matter what comes in the future, God will be there with us. ?

Thank you for this life changing study. I have struggled with fear and anxiety for years. I even knew how I was supposed to handle it,but would get frozen in my fear and it would not only consume me, but negatively affect my children, husband, schooling the kids and responsibilities. This study game me the tools and know how to apply it all. Walking through a current valley of hard times still hasn۪t been easy, but each day I have been able to rise above my fear even if it۪s minute by minute and function. This is huge for me!

I want to start by saying thank you_the 31 day challenge has been incredibly inspiring and encouraging! I find myself eager once again to do my quiet times with the Lord!! I۪m a night owl by nature so the bulk of my time in God۪s Word is after I get my kids in bed. Yet, I۪ve committed (because of your influence) to start my days with just a few minutes focusing on the Lord to give my days a better start_and I۪ll confess it۪s working!! I۪ve had a solid week, that, while far from perfect, has been better_lighter_less tense than previously! So thank you for being a wiling vessel to be used by God! I thank Him for you and your talents with the written word every day!

Thank you Kim for sharing your story. This devotional has been a blessing. I read it a few years ago and I still reflect back on it when I begin to get overwhelmed with things that happen. I find myself repeating to verses to myself...

Lamentations 3:22-23
[22] It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. [23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

...then I’m able to breathe and move forward.

I absolutely LOVE this book! Thank you Kim for sharing your story and reminding me that I can control how a I respond to the circumstances I go through.

When I was going through a hard time, this book was a God-send for me. Coupled with my Bible it was a constant companion. Thank you, Kim.

I can't speak highly enough about this devotional. It is so easy to get "consumed" by life, especially when things are difficult. This devotional has been a fantastic encouragement and help.

This was a God send to me. It opened my eyes and lifted me up to claim God's victory.
