Wake Up! Penduka is Here!

Store Banner-02

Friends!  She’s here!!

In the same way writing a book feels a little like growing and delivering a baby (ring of fire and all), announcing it feels a little like showing said baby off.   You’re running on adrenaline and want to jump up and down, and exhausted all at the same time.  You want to scream it from the mountaintops, and fear you’ll be guilty of inundating people’s feeds with photos of your newest addition.  But then again, you don’t really care.

So just go with it.  And then go snag yourself a copy from Amazon!

 

While I was jazzed about my first book, I’m absolutely psyched out of my melon about this one.  There’s something really special about what God did in my heart in and through this journey.

I’m feeling all the feels…excited, hopeful, anxious, thankful, nervous, proud.  Overwhelmed.

I’m giddy because the time has finally arrived to share it with the world! This little book baby that’s cooked for almost two years, has had a fast & furious delivery (I wrote it in 7 weeks), and has been cleaned-up and loved on by such a sweet tribe of people.

I’m a little anxious because whenever you offer up your creative work you feel exposed and vulnerable.  Also, I hate sales and I loathe self-promotion. I worry that this celebration of hard work is annoying to some and off-putting to others…but I’m learning to care less about the critics everyday, and choose rather to focus on what God has put in my hands so He can honor what He’s put in my heart.  It’s His baby any way.

I’m thankful for my tribe, my team, my people. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for those women who have walked alongside me through the incubation process of this book, and for my incredible launch tribe who’ve helped champion the ‘birth’.  And for my hubby who survived another book…and who still likes me.

I’m hopeful because I truly believe in this project. Truly, truly.  I’m really proud of this project and I wholeheartedly believe that through it souls will be stirred, seeds will be planted and fires will be started.

Bring it on!

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this fun new project…because I wrote it for YOU!

 

p.s.  There’s a whole line of new #pendukalife goodies to check out in the Simply Bloom Shop

We spend so much time waiting to feel ready... mor We spend so much time waiting to feel ready...
more confident, more equipped, more certain.
But God often asks a simpler question:
What’s already in your hand?

Small doesn’t mean insignificant.
And obedience doesn’t require certainty—just trust.

🎙️ Episode 011 of Oh, Good Grief | The Podcast is live:
 What's In Your Hand? | The Power of Small Beginnings

 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts,
 and go in the strength you already have.

While we’re raising them, God is still raising us. While we’re raising them, God is still raising us.

🎙️ Episode 010 of Oh, Good Grief is live | Raising Kids While God Is Raising Us

Listen in on my conversation with my daughter, Alathea, and we talk about apology, repair, grace, and what it looks like to grow together as a family instead of pretending we have it all figured out.
