Plenty {FREE e-book today only — the perfect gift for moms everywhere}

Fear.

Everywhere I look these days I see it. In the aftermath of recent shootings I see it settle over people like a thick, heavy blanket, pushing down spirits and dampening joy. I see it causing people to lash out at each other. I see it in Facebook statuses and comments. I see it making mothers react, knee-jerk, and cower, afraid of sending their children back into the world. I see it fueling frenzies around the world in response to the end-of-the-world-today prediction. I see it lingering even in laughter, the lightness of the season a thin veil shrouding a fear about the future.

Sometimes I see it in the mirror.

Fear is our enemy, sisters of faith. Because fear causes us to believe, There won’t be enough. There won’t be enough protection. There won’t be enough love for me. There won’t be enough safety and security. There won’t be enough money. There won’t be enough peace. There won’t be enough time in my day. There won’t be enough strength for me to face this trial. There just won’t be enough today.

That’s the lie we face.

Jeff has been asking me, “What do you want your readers to know this year? What one message do you want them to grasp in 2013?”

It’s this:

There is plenty. 

There will always be plenty to worry about. Not just guns. If we really knew all the dark forces at work every single day  in our world we’d go crazy.

There will always be plenty to do. Our to-do lists will always be longer than our leg, and we will never “arrive” and be “caught up.”

But, there is also plenty for us. 

There is plenty of grace to forgive every fault. There is plenty of mercy to help in time of need. There is plenty of love to cover a multitude of sins. There is plenty of wisdom given to us whenever we ask. There is plenty of courage to make us brave for the battle. There is plenty of strength to help us stand.  There is plenty of power for life and godliness.

There is plenty of joy in God’s presence.

Friends, and specifically you moms, I pray you would know today There is plenty. With Him there is no lack.

And in step with this, I’m thrilled today to offer you my very first E-book entitled,

Plenty: 31 sips of joy for moms everywhere.
