When I'm writing an op/ed, I write down the full format of an op/ed and start to fill int he pieces one by one. Small goals lead to a lot more work being done than you'd ever realize. Just START WRITING. (less)

It's a magical process to think and dream and pair that with skill and training, purpose and passion. Consider yourself an artist!(less)

Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age by Rosaria Champagne Butterfield
Rate this book
Clear rating
Rosaria is so wise and sharp in her analysis. Her points always land even when they feel somewhat harsh at times. This book was good and helpful in fully explaining why these lies are so detrimental to us all who want to live in truth.

Really well done! Loved Selena’s practical advice and examples. I was truly inspired to use my Rich relationships this week! And though I’ve always had a mindset similar to this, it enhanced my thoughts and ideas about it. Really helpful book!

Been meaning to read forever and after Berry died recently, I finally did it! I enjoyed the simplicity and gratitude of Hannah’s life, as well as the honest sentiments we will all face about growing older. Hard to read the part of about kids leaving!

Quotes by Ericka Andersen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He witnessed a wind and a fire and an earthquake, but Scripture says God was not in that wind or fire or earthquake. After this environmental chaos ended, Elijah likely felt as if the world had turned upside down around him. And then he heard “the sound of a low whisper”—and this was the voice of God (1 Kings 19:12).”
― Ericka Andersen, Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith

“There is freedom from alcohol, no matter how little or much it currently affects you. That day will come.”
― Ericka Andersen, Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith

“know this path is possible for any woman willing to do what Hagar did—cry out to the Lord and trust that he sees her.”
― Ericka Andersen, Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith
