Big Texas Journey: Big Blessings Revealed by an Irrepressible God Through Adversity: The Irrepressible Disciple Series, #3

By Mary Rodman

How do you discover blessings when your world has been turned upside down? You search for God in the small details of life.

 

When Mary found herself in a strange city with her husband, Jim, hospitalized, she focused on the God moments of the journey, enabling her to see the Hand of God.

Sometimes when you are thrust into difficult situations, you just have to become strong and do what is necessary. That is how you truly know God is with you, giving you strength along the way.

 

Life can be like a speeding freeway, soaring past you at high speeds, but God wants you to slow down and enjoy a beautiful sunset or the hospitality of friends to calm your soul. This devotional book focuses on the BIG blessings from an irrepressible God, which we often miss in the face of adversity. From an angel at valet parking to intense fellowship on the road trip home, Jim and Mary count their blessings in the midst of the storm. Their journey is filled with love, laughter, worry, inspiration, and blessings.

 

Based on their scary situation in Texas you will learn to watch for the blessings which surround you amid adversity.

Mary Rodman

Mary resides in Radnor, Ohio with her husband, Jim. Together they enjoy farm life, hard work, vacations, family and friends. She is a farm girl who discovered her niche as a Christian author and speaker. Mary loves sharing about the Lord through both her written and spoken words. Mary’s life is an open book as she shares her joys, struggles and embarrassing moments. As a Christian author and speaker, Mary’s objective is to point you toward Jesus. Her words are simple, and her examples are relatable, but when Jesus touches your heart it is amazing. When you follow Him wholeheartedly, and align your dreams with God's will, the outcome is life altering. The first goal of Mary’s ministry is to offer you encouragement and inspiration. She is a "seed planter." The person who sees a glimmer of hope in the small day-to-day routines of life. Therefore, the key verse for her ministry is: “When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.” (Romans 1:12). Once the seed of hope is planted in your heart, Mary motivates you to stay in God's Word to seek wisdom, and learn more about Jesus' amazing grace. “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking." (James 1:5). Mary’s prayer is that you have a personal relationship with our Redeemer, because when you Bloom with Jesus, you become a child of God who is cultivated for your beauty. This beauty does not happen overnight, it is a gradual change within your soul, because of your relationship with Jesus. For more information of God's grace, go to www.MaryRodman.com/gods-promises/.

Foreword

Stubborn. Scared. Agitated . Blessed. You might be wondering why I started the Foreword this way. These four words or emotions are with us every day, from the smallest child to adults. Sometimes stronger
