“We can easily get sucked into the trap of comparison or look behind at what life used to be like or even what life could have been. Alyssa Bethke unveils within these pages what the truth is and where it lies. Finding contentment in Jesus is a daily struggle and sacrifice that is made more approachable by this book. With vulnerability, she beautifully shows us how to move forward with grace, love, and joy that only comes from our intimate walk with Jesus.”

“This book is the perfect reminder that no amount of striving can ever amount to the peace, joy, and fulfillment that comes from God. Alyssa reminds us that God’s smallest miracles can be found in the mundane day-to-day loop of life if we just look up from our phone screens long enough to notice. We can stop striving and be fully satisfied in being known and loved by God.”
