This book is remarkable. This story is incredible. God is AWESOME! Through all we go through, the good and lots of bad, God is there for us. He has a reason for everything and learning to just lean on God and trust Him, to say “You are in control, I’m giving it all to You”, is an important lesson from this book. We don’t have fairytale lives, we may want them, we may dream of them, but we don’t have them. Our lives are messy. Some more than others. But this book, reading about Laura and Martin’s journey has encouraged me so much.

I heard her song, “Blessings” many years ago and it touched me. Now it has an even deeper meaning. They have been through so much and it was hard to read it because I can relate to much of it and know I’ve fallen short also, but I know that I’m not alone, there in the midst of all the pain is God. There’s hope for us because God does not leave us, we may feel like He has, but He hasn’t. This is a great book, I highly recommend it to everyone, but especially to anyone who is going through a hard time. ( )

I purchased this book from Amazon to read with my friend Kayla. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 When God Doesn't Fix It by Laura Story. Life is messy, unmanageable, and chaotic. You have dreams, you have a plan, you have goals, but it takes one thing, one strange diagnosis from a doctor or one friend to let you down for it to change the way your dreams look. It isn't because God doesn't want you to have dreams it's because he wants you to find the blessings behind the chaos. Laura's story of brokenness is an inspiration for us to see that even when God isn't tieing up our lives with neat little bows there are lessons and blessings he is trying to get us to see. Sometimes fixing it just isn't part of God's plan. Laura's struggle is real for her, but not any less real than yours or mine. She struggles with faithlessness and questions no one has answers for just like you or I. Those questions are exactly what this book is about.

This book is a must read for anyone going thru some tough times. This book tells the trials of Laura and her husband and how god is still with us even though we may not feel his presence. I recommend this book to everyone. ( )
