Julie R. says
I am loving chapter 3 of our study. It is EXACTLY where I am right now and have always been. I know God has led me to this study to heal me and speak to me about having a Confident heart. I know that greener pastures are not out there, but I continue to look for them. I looked up the word Satisfy and here are some words to define the word: content, quenched, to be less severe or intense, fulfilled, pleased, I love this one: Triumphant!. God give me contentment and teach me to know I am triumphant over my longings because your unfailing love is enough for me today and I will be glad all day long and trust you for everything, I will only look to you to fulfill everything that I feel I am in need of and want. How wonderful to know we do not have to stay on the treadmill always hoping that we will finally reach our goals that we have set for ourselves. All we need to do is stop moving and look to Him for our contentment, triumph, our fulfillments. We can be sure and certain that He is all we need. We can ease the severity of always wanting and the intensity of always needing more. This is what I desire and want!!! I guess I have always known this, but I am now willing to put this in action and be healed!! God is truly speaking to me this morning!!! Thank you Renee for being obedient to God and writing this study and giving it to us!! You truly gave an offering that I am sure has pleased God.

Charlene says
Hi, I am from Springville, Utah and I am 48 years old. I enjoy going on summertime walks, reading testimonies about women who love and serve the Lord (it makes me stronger), and making my husband and boys happy.
Thank you Renee. I know that Heavenly Father led me to your book and online study. I hope someday God will use me as an instrument in leading others to Him. The influence that you are having upon others (and me!!!) is surprising and amazing. Your ability to hear Him and make connections with His truth and personalize it to your life is special. I think that is why your influence is so great. We can relate to your experiences and recongnize truth when we hear it. Thank you.
Chrissy says
I am 30 years old and am from Lehi, Utah. I love reading, doing puzzles, cleaning, and organizing. I also like to try my hand at crafts and although I’m not very good, I sure love to try. I also love playing with my babies (ages 5, 3, and 3 mo) and love to be home with my family.
I also feel that I was guided to your book and pray that my Heavenly Father will give me the confidence that I need to do the hard things that he sometimes calls me to do. Most especially to be a good wife and mother and bring my family back to him. Thank you for the inspiration.
