The Life We Never Expected Review And Giveaway

By
Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own. 

I don't have a lot of time lately to read books, but when I heard about The Life We Never Expected, I knew that it was something that I wanted to make the time to read.

The Life We Never Expected follows the life of Andrew and Rachel Wilson as they honestly come to terms with having their life turned upside down. Both of their children were diagnosed with regressive autism. This book deals with the ups and downs of raising children with special needs, but it also reflects on coping in general with difficulties in life.

Andrew and Rachel share lessons that they've learned in how to find joy in the midst of trials.

My take on The Life We Never Expected ......


The Life We Never Expected is a page turner. From the first page, I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I felt the book to be open and honest. It wasn't 'woe is me our life is so hard'; instead they documented their difficulties and then showed how God is always there.

Although I don't have a special needs child, The Life We Never Expected made me stop and realize how we all have trials and tribulations. We all have good days and bad, but that God is always there. I enjoyed how this book weaved Psalms throughout the chapters. I found the writing style pleasant, and I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Although at the point of writing this, I haven't finished the entire book, I am finding The Life We Never Expected to be an enjoyable and eye opening read. And one of you can win your own copy.

Rejection

By
You'd think as many times as I've been rejected in my life that rejection wouldn't hurt anymore. Really, I can't count the number of times that I've been rejected, or slighted, or been on the receiving end of cruel words. I'm almost 40 for pete's sake. Rejection shouldn't bring tears anymore, but it still does. It just seems like I've been faced with it a lot lately. It started with the Running and has seemed to carry over into other parts of my life. I have spent most of my life on the sidelines watching other people. That's what happened with the marathon.   Once again, I'm on the side as others do things that I want to do. I trained. I had to have an unexpected surgery. I got injured. I couldn't run. It happens. It isn't the end of  the world. But what many don't realize is that there are numerous times in my life that I am on the sidelines, watching, wishing I was the one 'out there' - not the one watching. . But

What Summer Taught Me

By
This Summer has been a big learning experience - for both Lil Man and myself. Who knew that an amusement park could be such a learning experience for both of us. I watched as my little boy, all on his own, climbed stairs among strangers, learned how to wait his turn, slide down a water slide, and do it over and over again. I watched as other kids shoved him out of their way, cut in front of him as he stood patiently 'waiting for his turn'. Groves of bigger kids kept cutting in front of him, and I held back and gave him time to respond. This for me was a learning experience. See, people have to have room or space to grow. So I learned how to let go, let out the leash a little, and give Lil Man some space. The first time the kids pushed him aside, he really didn't know what to do. After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

By
May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual
