I like following Rebecca on socials and feels she portrays an authentic self, which I appreciate. Reading this book was like a conversation with her, for the most part. It was a bit redundant and broken up for my taste but a good heart and good read of her journey.

I adored this book!
It was exactly the message that I needed to hear as a young Mom in my 20s. So much of culture tells me to hustle harder and if I work hard enough, my pursuits will be multiplied and blessed. But the message of this book is different. Instead of hustling hard to achieve and get ahead, Rebecca reminds us that we can work hard- and leave the rest up to God. And that does not mean we will have overnight success. Instead, it means that we will probably go at a pace that seems painfully slow and unexplainable. But THAT, in the center of God's will, with Him leading the way- is exactly what "a better life" truly is.
Loved this.
