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.
How to win your very won copy.

Come on!

Green Giant: Raise A Giant (Giveaway too)

At Green Giant® we know it takes a lot more to raise a healthy child then just getting them to eat their vegetables. Kids these days live in a world that is bigger and scarier than the world we grew up in, and they need help and encouragement to navigate that world with confidence and pride. Unfortunately one of the hardest things kids have to deal with is bullying. When a child is bullied by a peer it can turn his or her life into a daily gauntlet of fear and anxiety. That’s why Green Giant® is partnering with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center and We Day Minnesota to help parents Raise A Giant and put a stop to bullying in their community. What Does it Mean To Be A Giant? Being a giant isn’t about being the biggest or the best. Being a giant means standing up for others. It means lending a hand to those who are in trouble and speaking up for those who sometimes find it hard to speak up for themselves. Studies show that an effective way...
