Last year I was given a copy of Angela Thomas’ “My Single Mom Life” to give away on my blog. I read it first and, although I’m not a single mom, couldn’t put it down. Her girl-friendy style, humor and deep love for Jesus captivated my heart and fueled my desire to live an amazing life and be an amazing mom.
I’ve gotten to meet and hear Angela a few times since then, and she’s as inspiring in real life as she is on the pages of her books. Today, I’m excited 
to share with you about her newest book “Do You Know Who I am?” I’ve been given one copy to read and another to give away. Each chapter answers a different question that lies within a woman’s heart when we’re feeling vulnerable and unsure anyone knows who we really are.
With each question, Angela reveals God’s heart and response. He alone answers our uncertainties with a resounding “yes.”
Yes, He knows who you are, who you really are. He sees you as you are and loves you still. He knows your deepest needs, insecurities, hurts and desires. And He wants to show you that He alone is the answer you are longing to find. When we ask, “Do you know who I am?” He says, “Yes, but what matters most is that you know Who I AM my child.”
I’d love to share something that’s touched my heart from each chapter I’ve read so far, but this would become a book-sized post! So, instead I’ll share with you the title of each chapter and God’s response to us in asking:
Do you know I am trembling inside? He is my comfort.
Do you know I am worn out? He does not grow weary.
Do you know I am suffering with a thorn? He is my sufficiency.
Do you know I am a sinner? He is my Savior.
Do you know I am lonely? He is here.
Do you know I am undisciplined? He is my strength.
Do you know I am hesitant? He is generous.
Do you know I am ordinary? He is my King and my Father.
Do you know I am broken? He is my Redeemer.
Do you know I am disappointed? He is my Hope.
To enter to win a copy of Angela’s book, “Do You Know Who I am?”, click on the word “comments” below, and let me know which of these questions you’ve asked before or perhaps another that isn’t listed. I’ll announce the winner next Tuesday week when we get back from the girlfriend get-away cruise!
Do you know I am broken? Of course He knows because He kept those childhood memories for me until we could work through them together and He knows how much I hurt…
Do you know I am lonely? I say this more than you could ever know. I lost my job and had to move in with my son which put me 1-2 hours away from what use to be my earthly friends. So I am going back to school and working part time and I pray for new friends to be sent my way. God Bless and have a safe trip.
"Do you know I am weary?"…
For the past 18 months I have endured so many trials: losing my job and not being able to find employment in my field, unresolved health issues due to no insurance, financial problems, trying to maintain my home and care for or 6 dogs, care for my elderly mother, and the most difficult, my finance's incarceration and trying to provide the constant supply of love, support and encouragement he needs to get through each day. We are nearing the time that he will be released, but each day gets harder as I am just plain weary from all that is on my shoulders. I praise God for helping me get though each day, and I know our prayers will soon be answered in His perfect timing, but at times it seems like this nightmare is never going to end, prompting me to ask "When, Lord?"
Do you know I am lonely – He is there.
Starting to believe this, thank you!

You touched me in so many ways while on our cruise. From our first meeting in the van from the airport to hotel to the last hug (one of many) at the airport leaving from the Cruise. I have used the "locked cabinet" example you told me about already with my daughter who lost out on a job change she rightly deserved as far as we feel, but that 1 example has lifted her back in her spirits. You are so gifted and real and I can't wait to actually do coffee with you sometime soon. Keeping you and your most WONDERFUL family in my prayers. Love and more hugs..
Renee, I have asked all of these and many others. The one I ask all to often is WHY? Which is not on the list. I am not sure if I should be asking such a question but I don't understand why my life has turned out the way it has. I miss my husband and two boys so much every day. I know they are in heaven but it's really hard not to wish I was there with them. I meet you on the side walk….this is Connie. I miss see you and talking with you. We did have a great cruise. I am praying for you and your family. Love ya, Connie
