From the beginning, the reader is pulled into 'remembering'. The author reflects on the beautiful happenings and the goals attained in her life, on lessons learned through trials, but always through insight, until you begin to realize that at her core is a firm reliance on Jesus Christ. Her openness and honesty allows for the reader's learning and perspective. The author herself says, "It is generally my aim to break things down in the simplest way (it is possible to do that and ramble at the same time!) There is no continuity except for particular categories, as each chapter stands alone. This may not all 'fit' you, so I'm giving it to you like hand lotion. Take it and rub it in until it fits. There is no hidden agenda or message here. No 'this is what I mean when I say that'. I write what I mean to say. Please take joy from it as you read it exactly as written.
