    About this ebook

    WINNER OF THE 2020 GOLDEN SCROLL DEVOTIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD


    One choice each day. That's all it takes to change your life. What will you change in the new year?


    Someone once told me, "Don't settle for the good when you can choose the best." And so began my lifelong quest for that which brings life, joy, and meaning. And the courage to choose it. Of course, I have both stumbled and soared in the process. Discovering that while there are myriad ways we can choose to spend our lives, only a few essentials truly matter. Life-Giving Choices will help you:

    • Be empowered to simplify and focus on the essentials.
    • Identify challenges you face in juggling responsibilities.
    • Find freedom to release the pressure of striving to do it all. 
    • Learn scriptural truths reinforcing your identity as God’s beloved. 
    • Begin daily steps to pursue specific action. 
    • And more!

    Will you invest the next sixty days in pursuing changes that will last? Join me in becoming that wise woman who embraces a full life with both serenity and strength.
