Blue Like Play Dough by Tricia Goyer



This book is for all of us moms out there who are not perfect!
Or should I say, this book is for ALL moms!!!

Tommy got me this book for my birthday: Blue Like Play Dough:
the shape of motherhood in the grip of God. It was perfect
timing for me to read it on our trip up north. In this book,
the author, Tricia writes about stories in her life growing up
and now as a mother and wife. She share her own stories
(including having a baby at 17 yrs. old after an abortion)
that any mom would relate to and reminds us that God wants
to invade every part of our lives. He wants to heal us and use us.
She takes God’s truth and shows the many ways that He teaches
us through our own struggles and triumphs. As I read this book,
I could relate to her as a mom and a woman, but mostly as a
child of God who continues to see God work even in the busiest
and most overwhelming situations. I also see a woman who is
writing books because God gave her a gift and a passion. Through
hard work and perseverance and believing God would work things
out in His perfect time, her dreams have become a reality. If
our dreams line up with Gods plans and we walk in His ways, they
will become REALity too! This is what she is doing and it's a
reminder that we all can do it as well!
