  1. I needed the encouragement from the verse in Proverbs that the righteous WILL fall. Thank you for your teaching in this message!

  2. Thank you Renee for the devotion I just watched on your website. The message about the rightweous falling but always getting up was so encouraging. It encourages me to keep trying !! Your book is awesome too.

  3. hi I am going to be a water aerobics instructor. My feet have had some issues, so now that these are healed I can begin the process. Usually I get discouraged but this time I am getting back up!! and taking the next step. thank you for the blog:))

  5. The names of God are all so beautiful, but one that stands out for me is Abba-my father. My earthly father died 30 years ago shortly after my high school graduation. When he was alive we didn’t have a good relationship. Because of this, I have had to learn to rely on God as my father. He loves me (us ) in a way my dad couldn’t have and that gives me a lot of comfort. I fail and fall a lot and I need my Abba Father to help me to get up and move on because I can’t do it myself.

    Thans again Renee for another timely reminder!!

  6. Thinking of God as dependable is new to me. I’ve always thought of Him as being too busy for me. But, throughout this bible study, I have been making a sincere effort to change my perspective by seeking God’s perspective on things. I’m going to try and really see God as dependable. Thank you Renee for your encouragement.

  7. I’m so very thankful God continues to save me from myself – my own bad choices – and rescue me time and time again. Not based on if I deserve it (especially since I don’t!) but simply because of His love for me, His faithfulness, grace & mercy! Praise His Holy Name!!!!!!! : )

  8. Todays devotion & video really spoke to me. I am often too aware of my failures. Need to look to God & how He wants me to learn from them, & move on to what He has for me rather than letting Satan will by staying where I have fallen, or going back again & again to visit that place. Have definitely struggled with not wanting to try again, thinking why bother, will just fail again. During this study, God has used the videos, etc. to really speak to me right where I am, just when I need to hear it.

  9. I just wanted so say that this book has helped me to finally get an understanding to many things I have struggled with and did not know why. I have only known pain and abuse for most of my life and for the past ten years I have been on my journey with God. Being a first generation Christian I have not had the support many others experience so I have made many mistakes and wrong turns along the way. I am so thankful God does not give up on me and continues to love me. Thank you for this book and this online study.

  11. I am SO glad God allows “do-overs” when we mess up. He offers us another opportunity to do His will.

  12. I have not been able to do this study like I would have like to but I really enjoyed what you said in your video today. It is so much easier to allow our mistakes to define us. Not sure why but when we do we are really not relying on God’s amazing grace and forgiveness. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

    • Hi Kelli, I pray this chapter encourages you that it’s okay not to be perfectly consistent. I’m never as consistent as I want to be – but God’s teaching me so much about HIS grace. Would love for you to consider joining the next study in April. This is the kind of book people are reading again and again and getting something more each time! Let me know if you sign up. I’d love that!

      • I am actually considering signing up again! Thanks so much for the encouragement. You have really been a blessing to me.

  14. Hello my sisters I have just been through the toughest thing…Please pray for me to have peace, not fear, it will be ok, it’s me…boy this chapter is just hitting me head on with what I am dealing with I will write again later…I love all of your encouragement and I am praying constant to get out of my fear of my own self…

  15. My challenge isn’t falling down, its staying up and being strong. I love that God’s strength is in us and because we are to be like him, we will be strong. I love that since their is God, there is always a way.

  17. I personally prefer reading books rather than spending more time on the computer (easier on the eyes as well), but am “thrilled” with kindle price as have been wanting to share this study with others but knew buying the book could keep them from being able to participate. Will definitely pass this on to them!

  19. I was just thinking about this yesterday! God gave me the chance to face my biggest fears and walk through them so He could show me that I’m so much stronger than I think I am. On top of that, whether I’m strong or not, I have a God who is bigger than all the giants. I should be confident!

  20. Dear Renee,

    I love hearing from you in your devotionals. I feel like we “know” each other. I especially appreciate how you pointed out a new truth for me, in today’s verse. Proverbs 24:16 – “…… though the righteous fall…..”. Wow; I want to digest this all day long.
    I want to share this with my daughter via the special on Amazon kindle (she just recently got one with some gift cards from Christmas.) I also thought of a dear friend who I will e-mail this devo to.
    I am a mentor mom for our church MOPS program and I think they need this wisdom as well! Aren’t we blessed to have facebook and all these other forms of sharing God’s good news and the truths that He reveals through you. Thank you for your authenticity and being real!
