This is the story of my life.
No, seriously.
It's the title of a book I just read, by Lisa Harper. Lisa takes 13 Psalms and applies their truths to everyday life. It's not lofty, but rather a peak through the window of her own discoveries in the songs and laments. She's down-to-earth, and someone you can relate with.
Using insightful anecdotes, you find yourself challenged to be more than you are. My favorite is the sweet memory she recalls of her mother singing "Count Your Many Blessings" while washing the dishes, ironic in contrast to the turmoil she was surviving. Not only did I find myself humming the words to that hymn; I found myself wanting to find a way to sing in the midst of the craziness that surrounds me. He is faithful, and nothing can shake that.
