One of the beautiful things about books is that they meet people right in the middle of real life, and today I would love to celebrate author Barbara Lott and her encouraging devotional, Cry, Laugh, Love, Refresh!: A 91 Day Devotional. 💛
I think so many women are going to relate to this message because let’s be honest... life CAN feel messy sometimes. There is the constant balancing act of everyday responsibilities, unexpected detours, emotional seasons, challenges, disappointments, and moments where you are trying to hold everything together while still longing to experience peace, joy, and closeness with God in the middle of it all.
That is what I love about Barbara’s heart in this devotional. She does not approach life pretending everything is polished and perfect. Instead, she gently walks alongside the reader and reminds them that God is present right in the middle of the everyday moments, the hard moments, the funny moments, the overwhelming moments, and even the moments where we feel stuck, weary, or unsure of ourselves.
I also really appreciate how practical and encouraging this devotional is. Barbara not only points people toward healing and freedom from things like shame, unworthiness, and feeling unable to cope, but she also challenges readers to go deeper in their walk with God and experience the abundant life He truly has for them.
And honestly, I think there is something really special about a devotional that helps people feel refreshed again. We all need that sometimes.
Barb, thank you for saying YES to your message, for not giving up on it when life got messy, and for creating a resource that is going to encourage, strengthen, and refresh so many lives. 💛
She Leads Family, please help me celebrate Barbara and encourage her as she releases this beautiful devotional into the world. I know many people are going to find comfort, hope, and renewed strength through these pages.
