| God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea: Experiencing God in the Midst of Everyday Moments |
Today is the first Monday of the month--the day I feature a
Christian author and give away a book.
I'm taking the liberty of grabbing the spotlight since I want to give away a copy of my devotional journal, God,
Me, and Sweet Iced Tea: Experiencing God
in the Midst of Everyday Moments. I hope you don’t mind. It's a joy for me to get this devotional into readers hands.
But
first, let me say, I unintentionally skipped a week on Write Moments with God because
I had so much happening at home—new grandbaby, 3 major dinner gatherings, overnight guests, and
a birthday dinner party for my youngest child, Robbie, who just celebrated his
18th birthday.
I’m
happy to be back with you today. I appreciate you so
much, and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and loved
ones.

Since most of you already know about me and my writing
journey, just let me tell you a little about God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea: Experiencing God in the Midst of Everyday Moments.
God,
Me, and Sweet Iced Tea is uniquely appropriate for working
mothers, but it’s also for anyone who wants to put their Christianity into
practice in their everyday moments and go deeper into God’s Word. I’ve received wonderful testimonies from men as
well as couples who are reading God, Me, and Sweet Iced Tea and finding it
inspirational and helpful in their own spiritual journey. As Tiffany Colter said, this devotional is
simple enough for the newest believer, yet deep enough to make a life-long
Christian feel challenged to go higher.
There are 52 devotions followed by questions for consideration
and space to write your thoughts, suggested scriptures for further reading, a
prayer, a sweet tea moment (thought for the day), and a prayer focus. These extra helps allow the reader to go
beyond reflection and meditation to make this devotional more meaningful as a
personal or small group study.
Most of the 52 devotions are engaging personal stories which
relate everyday life to God’s Word. You will find many of these devotions touch your heart and mind in such a way that they stay
with you as you go about your day.
Some people have asked: What’s the significance of “sweet iced tea”? Besides the fact that I am a true fan of sweet
iced tea, let me share this summary from the back cover which better explains
the concept.
In the South, nothing is more refreshing than a glass of
sweet iced
tea. Nothing, that is, except experiencing God in those
small, everyday
moments. God, Me, and
Sweet Iced Tea is a deeply personal collection
of spiritual treasures designed to help readers experience
new mercies
each morning. Seasoned with insight and grace, this tender
devotional
points to the divine presence of God in everyday moments. Whether
purchased as a personal resource or given as a heartfelt
gift, God, Me,
and Sweet Iced Tea will help readers develop a daily habit
of turning to
God in those quiet moments of reflection.
