Leaving by Karen Kingsbury

Leaving
By Karen Kingsbury
Book 1 in the Bailey Flanigan Series

Almost a year ago exactly, I picked up Redemption, the first book Karen Kingsbury wrote about the Baxter family. Just a few weeks ago, I finally caught up through Take 4 and was waiting for Leaving to come out. Karen Kingsbury blessed me by choosing me to review it out of the many people who applied. What an honor and a privilege that is.

Karen Kingsbury’s books are called Life Changing Fiction. They are called that for a reason, and that is because they have changed many lives along the way! Many people have come to find the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior though the testimonies of the characters in Karen’s books. These might be fiction books, but they bring the real truth to every reader!

In this latest book, Karen brings to life the real feelings we each go through as a chapter in our lives ends and another begins. We look forward to the next step in our lives, where God is going to take us next, but we cringe at what we leave behind in the process. From the Baxter Family, to the Flanigan family, this book will explore the endings and beginnings of different aspects of their lives. You do not want to miss this! And then, when it is read, you, like me, will not want to wait to find out what happens next in Book 2, Learning.



Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in order to review it for the author. I was not bound in any way though to give it a good review!

We have jumped into parenting teenagers!

For those of you that do not know, we have added 2 teenagers to our family! Juanita is 14 (almost 15) and Wesley is 13. They came to stay with us in November and December of last year. Juanita moved in on November 21st and Wesley moved in on Dec.3rd. They are biological brother and sister. On February 28th, we went to court and were granted temporary legal guardianship of them. We go back to court on March 28th for full legal guardianship of them. I am attaching a recent picture of each of my kids!
