Sea Glass Promises

Book excerpt: Everybody has a story. We are inspired by people who are able to dodge adversity and trials. However, the most inspirational are those who are knocked off their feet and have the audacity and courage to stand, rise or walk again. The reassurances of God, the promises that we can stand on and build upon, enable us to better cope with life's challenges. Like washed up sea glass on a beach, the process of "broken to beautiful" requires tumbling and friction but our stories do not have to end at broken. Beloved, broken is half the story. Written with poetic flair, this book shares the insight gleaned from what we can learn from sea glass. Relying on the promises of God, in the process of refinement and beautification, gives us strength to endure. Every wound can be a scar, every scar can be a trophy, every trophy can be a testimony on the path to beautiful and inspiring. This 40-day devotional with promise scriptures, original poems and questions for reflection will inspire and encourage you in your own journeys. Annie Mac, author of Look Beyond.. Ocean of Pain to Horizon of Purpose, is a God lover, wife, mother, and educator. She is inspired by the reading of God's Word and being in tuned with His downloads, her personal experiences, observation of others and nature. Her mission is to help others discover that there could be beauty after the rain, after the fire, after the storm, after brokenness. God's promises are foolproof.
