Another book to read with a pencil in hand. Deidra Riggs with Every Little Thing has written a beautiful story that gives the reader permission to exhale, to give in to the workings of the Lord and to be who He created you to be. Even when things just don't make sense.
She focuses on the 'good enoughs.' The days when we feel insignificant and unworthy. And she says He loves us just as we are. We need this reminder.
Deidra shares her struggles with fitting into the places God has led her, focusing on a pastorate her husband accepted in Nebraska, where the black population is very, very small. Deidra is black, so this is pretty significant, yet she shares the whole event with such humor. She really is hilarious. And it took her about seven years before she felt at home. That's saying something. She understands disappointment, but learned patience at the same time.
Her book is a comfort, and tells beautifully how He's working even when we can't see the image of what He's creating. I loved it.
