Death Before Life (My Story for His Glory) Chakesha Shurn






Dear Friends, 

 If you have never picked up a copy of Death Before Life (My Story for His Glory) by Chakesha Shurn, I recommend it. This book will touch your heart and open your eyes to the love of a child. I recieved this book for free in exchange for my honest review. 

 Chakesha Shurn was a member of my church in Maryland and I got to know her through activities getting a group ready for a mission trip. I never realized there was more to her than meets the eye. When you meet Chakesha (whom I call Kesha), you realize that she is a loving person who always has a kind word to say, a smile to offer and is always in worship of King Jesus. 

 But as I read her story, I realize that there was a broken heart that has been hurt by the loss of her dear daughter Adriana who died way before her time. I am not a mom and I can never understand the pain that my friend Kesha went through but I am glad that she has gotten the courage to share her story with us. 

 So many people have pain that they do not like to talk about, think about or even process through. Instead, they just put on a smile and a mask because it makes it easier to live life until it gets to a breaking point as Kesha talks about in her book. There were a few times that she wanted to end her life. Thank goodness she has the love of an amazing man who loved her through her hard times and the loss of her child. 
This book deserves a 5 out of 5 stars. It takes alot of courage, faith and loving yourself to be completely honest and transparent for the world to see. 






You will see your baby one day. 




Until next time, 

The Traveling Gypsy

Murder on the Moor by Julianna Deering

I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review as part of this book's blog tour.  ABOUT THE BOOK: Book:  Murder on the MOOR, A Drew Farthering Mystery Author:  Julianna Deering Genre:  Historical Mystery Release Date:  February 2017 At the urgent request of an old school friend, Drew and Madeline Farthering come to Bloodworth Park Lodge in the midst of the Yorkshire moors, a place as moody and mysterious as a Brontë hero. There have been several worrisome incidents around those lonesome rolling hills–property desecrated, fires started, sheep and cattle scattered. Worst of all, the vicar has been found dead on the steps of the church, a crime for which Drew can discern no motive at all. Few in the town of Bunting’s Nest seem like suspects, and Drew can’t keep his suspicions from falling on his friend’s new bride. Do her affections lie more with her husband’s money and estate, while her romantic int...

Who's your Anchor?

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to welcome you to my blog. Today we are going to be talking about anchors and who is your anchor during your hard times. Who do you rely on? Do you go running to a special someone? Do you run to God?  Has there ever been a time in your life where something you wanted didn’t go the way you wanted or even ended up being taken away? Have you ever looked up to the sky and say “Lord, I have no clue what you are up to now? How did that happen?” I want to tell you about a time when that has happened to my family and I. We have been through heck and back. This summer was a totally a chance to hang onto God, our Anchor and our Faith.  Some days there were  a lot  of questioning about where we were going to live, if we had made the wrong decision to move everyone up here at the time or to have people stay in Maryland. We just had to learn that God is into control no matter what.  We were in the process of relocating to Mi...

Her Small-Town Romance by Jill Kemerer

Image
I received this book in exchange for my honest review: From the back of the book: Finding Her Way Home Cozy Lake Endwell, Michigan, seems the perfect place for Jade Emerson's new T-shirt shop—and perhaps a fresh start. After a lifetime of letdowns, she is finally ready to face the future on her own. So when local wilderness guide Bryan Sheffield offers to help Jade overcome a past trauma, she warns him they will remain strictly business. But soon, with the help of Bryan's big, complicated family and a boisterous St. Bernard named Teeny, Jade's frozen heart begins to thaw. Now Jade wonders if she can return the favor, bringing a little happiness to a man who has long kept his own sorrow under wraps… My thoughts on Jill Kemerer Jill Kemerer is a new author to me which made me excited especially when she was giving away books in exchange for honest reviews because I love LOVE INSPIRED books. Why you might ask? They are clean romances that are good for the heart. I a...
