198: Kim Chaffin - Simply Blessed: Finding Joy in the Little Things

<p>I'm honored to welcome Kim Chaffin to The Shaun Tabatt Show to share about her encouraging new devotional <a href="http://amzn.to/2sa7CqZ" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Simply Blessed: Finding Joy in the Little Things</em></a> (Broadstreet Publishing, 2018).</p> <p><strong>About the Book:</strong>  <em>Why study the Bible? Who are the patriarchs? Am I really saved? Is there a special way to pray?</em> New believers have many questions. But even the most experienced believers can overcomplicate life and fill the day with more busyness than meaning. Often the little things of life show us the true character of God. In Him we can find joy and blessing if we are willing to look.<br /> <br /> <em>Simply Blessed</em> contains thirty-one heartfelt devotional stories for the woman seeking to know God for who He is: a loving God who longs to have a relationship with her. Kim focuses on the foundation of a woman s faith, tackling issues she faces on a daily basis and providing joyful and practical lessons for a woman s heart.<br /> <br /> Discover a God of relationship not religion. He is never too busy. In the humorous, frustrating, and mundane parts of life, God is pouring out His love on you.</p> <p><strong>About the Author:</strong> God is in the everyday moments that many people overlook. This is where Kim Chaffin finds lessons from God, practical lessons that find their way from her heart to her keyboard. Kim created <em>Heartfelt Ramblings of a Midlife Domestic Goddess®</em> to help people see that God doesn't ask us to be religious, but he wants to have a relationship with you and me. He is comfortable, like a pair of fuzzy socks or pajamas that feel so good after a long day.<br /> <br /> Priest Lake, Idaho, is Kim's favorite place to write. She cherishes summer days spent at the lake. Beyond the pages of <em>Simply Blessed</em>, Kim is a contributor for the Whatever Girls Ministry (thewhatevergirls.com) and <em>LivingBetter50</em> magazine (<a href="http://livingbetter50.com" rel="noopener" target="_blank">livingbetter50.com</a>).<br /> <br /> God has not only given Kim a passion to write but also the desire to speak. She finds joy in sharing the Lord at women's events, weekend retreats, and sermons at church.<br /> <br /> Kim is a wife of twenty-eight years and a mother of two. She is also a graduate of Eastern Washington University, where she earned a degree in sociology with an emphasis in crime corrections. Kim believes we must never stop growing and learning, which is why she is taking online classes through Portland Bible College.</p> <p>Connect with Kim:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://heartfeltramblings.com" rel="noopener" target="_blank">heartfeltramblings.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://facebook.com/HeartfeltRamblingsOfAMidlifeDomesticGoddess" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/Mom4Godalways" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Twitter (@Mom4Godalways)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/heartfelt_ramblings/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li> </ul> <p><br /> For additional show notes, visit <a href="http://ShaunTabatt.com/198" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ShaunTabatt.com/198</a>.</p>
