 Author Lynne Hartke She walked toward me at the close of my presentation. As I listened to bits of her story, my heart connected to hers in a unique way. We met for lunch. She talked of her love for writing. Taking an intentional step, she started a blog that went international. To say that Lynne Hartke has the God-given gift of written story is like saying Arizona is hot in the summer! Consequently, it gives me joy to introduce you to her first published book, Under a Desert Sky: Redefining Hope, Beauty, and Faith in the Hardest Places. You will be powerfully impacted by what you read. I promise! To win a FREE copy of Under a Desert Sky, leave a comment below. I love these following quotes from Lynne's book. Perhaps they will resonate with you as well.  I need and want to hold this truth close right now: He has not forgotten me! He's not forgotten you, either!  Yes, it is good to be strong in the midst of hardship, pain, and disappointment. But sadly, we can push that strength to extreme when we believe we must do it all alone. Lynne discovered that living this way is "stupid strong." I rather agree. It's not sensible to leave out God and those who love us; we were made for community.  Believing this truth can release you and me from the exhausting "trying too hard to make it all just right" mentality! Ahhhh.  Always striving for more can be exhausting. Yet, accepting our limited reality can be freeing. More will indeed come... When we spend eternity with our Creator, Savior, and Lord. That is my ultimate hope. How about you?
