Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new… Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give our Lord the benefit of believing that His hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.

This CD is filled with some of your favorite songs from Forever Reign to Great is Thy Faithfulness it is the perfect CD, if you love worship albums this needs to be added to your collection. The CD features the Women of Faith Worship Team, an all female worship team using their God-given gifts for worship.
This CD is exactly what it is called, a worship CD. The music is all geared towards glorifying God and praising Him through music with the help of the Women of Faith Worship Team. This CD is a great addition for daily devotionals, small groups, or when you’re driving in your car. This is a great Worship Experience!
The six women featured on this CD have amazing voices, the album is sung completely by Women; however, if you think it is lacking something because of the lack of male voices these women prove you wrong! This CD has been crafted together by its song selection. The full purpose of this CD is to rejoice in the Lord!
I love having this CD in my car, it is such a great way to start the morning, for those like me that being able to do your devotionals in the morning is not always possible (or appealing) this CD is a great way to kick start your morning! Rejoicing in a beautiful day and starting the day off right with the love of Christ!
I received a complimentary copy of this CD from BookSneeze in an exchange for a review. This review is mine and mine alone, I am expected to review content honestly.

The Chocolate Diaries:
Linamen has sculpted a book of the stories of everyday women like you and me and the ups and downs that are faced on a daily basis. The Chocolate Diaries is full of anecdotes (and chocolate) that bring laughter and tears, occasionally at the same time. Each chapter brings little pick me ups and how everyday readers handle times of stress.
Linamen has crafted a story full of the sweet and bitter moments in life. This book was enjoyable, reading about the lives of real people and the ways some women have learned to cope with stress and to find laughter in otherwise dreary situations. This book is a great read, good for reading straight through or to come back to when you’re in need of a pick-me-up (don’t forget the side of chocolate!)
Each chapter also brings along delicious recipes for when those chocolate cravings hit. Every chocolate lover will appreciate this book!
I received this book complimentary from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group through their reviewer exchange program.

In this book Nick tells stories about himself and how he overcame many challenges and stories of people he has met throughout the word that encouraged him and continue to inspire despite the obstacles that arise.

This book is not about how hard and difficult life can be but instead how to live a fulfilled life for God and to exceed in every situation.
