Strength for the Journey

Elsie Larson was to be my instructor, through Long Ridge Writer's Group. My interest in her as an instructor led me to purchase this book. It was life changing because I was struggling with fear. The fear grip, had taken hold and God used this book to set me free. Helping care for someone that was depressed was even harder than I had imagined. I found myself depressed and it smothered by ability to write. Now, that I have been delivered from this evil, thanks to God and Elsie's book; I have prepared to write again. The book specifically focused on the fear of our emotions towards those we care for and those trying to support us. Trying to encourage a depressed person, was as much a challenge as caring for someone maybe with cancer. The struggle is with the mind. I've since, been able to release many frustrations and I'm grateful. What I enjoyed most about the book, was the fact that each writer concluded their passage with a scripture and a special thanks to God. Elsie, if you are reading this comment, I know you were chosen by God to write. Your writing is so inspiring and I'm sorry that I did not have the opportunity to have you as my instructor. Nevertheless, I will always consider you my first instructor,because God used you to give me the courage to go on with my calling. Thanks for the lesson in overcoming fear. Thank you so much! Excellent job!Earlene

A perfect book to help me start my day as a caregiver.

Each of these authors knows the pain of being a caregiver. As I read, I thought, "I could have written that." It showed exactly how I have felt at different times. It also shows that God is good and He does give me the strength I need to carry on each day.
