CrossReads Book Blast: Carlene Havel's "Here Today Gone Tomorrow"

 
By Carlene Havel
 

About the Book

Disappointed, dumped, divorced. Everything Casey Slaughter counted on is gone. While contemporaries start their families, Casey works two jobs to haul herself out of debt. Friends and family recommend a new husband to solve all her problems, but Casey resists their well-intentioned advice. Although she longs for a soul mate, the last thing her flattened self-esteem needs is more rejection—and comparisons to her beautiful, talented older sister do nothing to enhance Casey’s confidence. Unable to have children, she feels she has nothing to offer in marriage. Will bitterness and insecurity destroy her, or can renewed faith in God provide some measure of comfort for this wounded heart? Can Casey ever find love again, or will a string of disasters keep her forever on the run?

Blessed


Blessed is...
A deep-seated knowing all is well,
Peace when a storm brews all around,
Joy that passes human understanding,
A moving of the Spirit, fresh and new,
Dancing and worshiping in freedom,
Receiving and giving in abundance,
Spending time with family and friends,
Grace like a warm blanket on a cold night,
Beauty everywhere,
Love.
