I'm Scream Sweet friends, welcome back to another episode of Book Club for Overbooked and

Overwound, How to Keep Up with God when you're just trying to keep up with life.

It is week three, and I am so grateful.

You are so loved.

You are so treasured.

And I am beyond humbled that you would join us on this little audio book club that we're putting

together. As I've been saying the past couple weeks, I hope this feels like a living room

and not a lecture hall. I hope you find compassion and empathy and understanding in these pages

and the presence of God in your own life.

I also hope that you find some conviction and that I can be a big sister that will tell you these

things and say, hey, here's how I've messed up. Here's how I've fallen. But here is how the goodness

and faithfulness of God picks us up and helps us feel a little bit less overwhelmed by the world and more overcome

by his presence and his love for us and his faithfulness that even when life is insane,

that he keeps us grounded. Last week we talked about chapters three and four and today we're

going to cover three chapters today so that next week when it's our last episode

we're able to finish the entire book with you so last week was three and four and we talked about

the chapters on cravings and i admitted and mentioned how in my own life when i felt overwhelmed that

i often numb out and i often look for other things to comfort my soul and to give me rest and how we

really need to lay the groundwork. And I had to lay the groundwork and realize what am I actually

craving in this moment? Am I craving rest? Am I craving hope? Am I craving purpose? Am I craving a

distraction? And to really be honest with ourselves and look at what we're going to, what we're craving,

what we are seeking in our life to fill that void.
