“Go home and say to yourself, ‘I am a wayward, foolish child. But He loves me! I have disobeyed and grieved Him ten thousand times. But He loves me! I have lost faith in some of my dearest friends and am very desolate. But He loves me! I do not love Him, I am even angry with Him! But He loves me!”
Stepping Heavenward - Elizabeth Pretiss
Here is a quote from a book that I have just finished reading. It was amazing to read a journal that contains so much detail about her walk with the lord and her attempts to live that out fully in day-to-day life. As the journal was written way back in the 1880's some of the language is hard to understand at times, however at times it is very rich and poetic and these parts I enjoyed very much.
There is a lot of wisdom in there about being a mother and a wife, something that I know little about, so maybe more relevant to mummies than to me. I did really enjoy reading about her relationship with her husband and how they worked together to honour Christ.
Overall I did really enjoy reading this book and I would recommend to any girls who likes period dramas and Christian Bio's.
