Your Dreams. God’s Plan: Are You Longing for Something More?, Tiffany Smiling

I gave this one 5 stars because I think God planned this book for the time in my life when I was reading it.

I started it during the time I was “questioning” a guy I was curious about and got a clear answer. Then, I finished it at the tail end of a mission trip to Kenya where I connected with some beautiful and amazingly talented orphan girls.

So, when the author admonished us “girls” to ensure that we’re chasing God dreams v. our dreams, I was right in the mix of evaluating my dreams – the way I want my life to look – and the reality of what it is right now or how God may want to evolve my station in life right now to do more for Him.

I’ve been on many mission trips now and none has left the kind of impression on me that this one did. It’s nice to rebuild houses after a hurricane or to construct churches or even a school campus. But, doing construction with all the kids right there with you and spending time with them and hearing their stories is just . . . Different.

So, this may not be a 5 star for everyone, but this was an on time, I need you to hear my voice book at this time in my life.

Attract Love At Any Age: The Ultimate Dating Guide For Single Women Over 40, Marlene Wagner

** spoiler alert **

This one was fast. The advice is pretty straightforward: 1) love yourself, 2) be happy, 3) let a man be a man (let him pursue, etc), 4) don’t let him get away with crap (circa lesson 1).

While the target audience is for women over 40, I think the tone and content is appropriate for any single woman. The perspective of the author via her own life experiences probably make it that much more meaningful for younger women so they can learn from her mistakes.

I really appreciate the candor and direct tone of the book. This is definitely one I would recommend and / or would share. 😉
