The LIfe We Never Expected ~ Review and Giveaway

Recently I was asked to review a book & psst, I get to give one away too!
That comes later.

The book: The Life We Never Expected by Andrew & Rachel Wilson.



Here's a brief synopsis:

What do you do when hard or painful circumstances turn your world upside down, resulting in a life you never expected? Andrew and Rachel Wilson grappled with this question after both of their children were diagnosed with regressive autism. Refreshingly honest, this book explores the highs and lows of raising children with specials needs, reflecting on the broader question of how to cope with suffering of all kinds. Sharing personal stories from their lives and encouragement rooted in the truth of God’s Word, Andrew and Rachel highlight lessons they’ve learned related to fighting for joy and thriving in the midst of trials—ultimately pointing readers to Christ, the One who promises to make all things new.

This book truly resonates with me. While my son doesn't have autism, he still faces challenges. He was diagnosed at a young age with ADHD and while not the same, he faced many uphill battles socially and privately.


I prayed for him to out grow it (which he is), I prayer for strength to not tape him to wall when he drove me crazy (I never did), I prayed for patience and I prayed for him. Andrew and Rachel show how Christ can help with everything.


Definitely a must read!!!




Now the good stuff.

Do you like splits? No, not the kind that cheerleaders & girls that dance on a pole do BUT The kind that is yummy, yummy in your tummy! That's right.....Banana Splits. YUM! Well, Kelly Ripa and Electrolux are joining forces once again to celebrate the launch of Electrolux Appliance's new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer - that's right, the familiar duo has split up. And to sweeten the celebration, they're bringing in the "Emperor of Ice Cream" Stephen Bruce, owner and founder of Serendipity 3, the landmark New York City restaurant and dessert spot, into the mix. Kelly and Bruce teamed up earlier today to make banana splits for a cause. And now we want you to dig in, with your virtual spoon! Starting today, at www.Kelly-Confidential.com , you can build your ultimate banana split using virtual ingredients from classic whipped cream to caramel sauce to rainbow sprinkles. For each "split", Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Resear
