This Christmas, give that young woman in your life a gift that feels like a warm hug. (Read the following email over my shoulder to understand this phrase.)
“When I Read Your Book, I Felt a Warm Hug”
āThank you for writing Confessions of a Boy-Crazy Girl. Several months ago, my boyfriend broke up with me the same way you were broken up with, with the line āthe spark comes and goes.ā He also told me a couple other things that really broke me. I felt so alone and struggled with anxiety and depression for about six months this year (which has never happened before). I believed the lies that I wasnāt good enough for anyone and that no one understands me.Ā
āBut when I read your book, I felt a warm hug.I have never felt so heard and encouraged by anyone before. As soon as I finished Confessions of a Boy-Crazy Girl, a weight came off my shoulders. My ex doesnāt have power over me; My hope is in the Lord and nothing else.Ā
You have helped me be able to trust the Lord more than I ever have before. Iāve given Him my desire for marriage and have been able to have some peace. I still read parts of your book on a weekly basis to remind myself of Godās truth on the situation.āĀ

Our five-year wedding anniversary passed quietly on October 3.Ā While our actual anniversary was fairly ordinary, we left town a couple weeks later for a short anniversary trip. Iām so glad we did. More

I used to (wrongly) think Christianity was all about what a Christian can’t do. And I donāt think Iām alone in that belief. I recently learned that this post has been my most popular post for the past five years. Every day it has new clicks, so Iāve beefed it up with new content. Iām reposting it here in the hopes that it will help many know Christianity is not defined by what we canāt do, but by what Christ did on behalf of sinners like us!Ā More
