This post was begun and then the book was in my mailbox. The timing of its arrival was not lost on me. The day had been emotionally overwhelming, the one year anniversary of the pandemic was duly noted, and I was tired of waiting.

awalnya beli buku ini iseng krn mumet bgt pengen baca bacaan ringan dan tipis di tengah2 ngerjain Skripsi. ternyata buku nya insightful sekali. meskipun judulnya buat membantu anak2, tapi menurut gue ini juga bisa diterapkan ke orang sekitar, kayak orang tua, pasangan, atau keluarga. God's timing is awesome. Life has been difficult at this time and then this book came on my radar to help me out. Flooded: The Best Decisions to Make When Life is Hard and Doubt is Rising aids us when we face these hard times doubt about our faith is rising. God commands. Noah listens. And repeat. Is it possible we're experiencing unbelief in our lives because we haven't been willing to take a posture of humility?” (p. 50)If you are walking through hard things or have walked through hard things (and if you haven’t hold on because you will) this is the book to help you learn 5 steps from Noah and his hard thing to help you through it. The timing of this book & this message is truly miraculous! I think it's safe to say that many of us have questioned God through the last calendar year. When circumstances are unknown & unpredictable, we feel flooded. Find the familiar faithfulness of God in His Word when it feels like nothing is normal and everything is falling apart. Though this book had a lot of good nuggets, the general idea, and the main themes were great, I just felt like there was something missing. I felt that it was choppy, that it needed smoother transitions. There were a few stories in there that were interesting in and of themselves but I didn't quite see how they fit into the point she was making. Waiting on words of affirmation from other can also become a place of disobedience in our lives.” (p. 112-113)

Flooded: The 5 Best Decisions to Make When Life Is Hard and

When children experience The Flood Zone, their behavior changes. They yell, bite, or run away. They withdraw and lose concentration. They blame and lie. In this state, children are unable to be rational, regulated, or otherwise compliant. Even the most motivated child (or adult) with the greatest coping strategies won’t be able to identify or manage their emotions in The Flood Zone. Learning more about Noah's story was intriguing, as I had never heard of an in depth study on his account and this brought so much light to his story. Wow, the things He walked through, and the things he said yes to are amazing to me, even when those were hard things and not easily understood. There is a story being written in the midst of your unknown, loss, and grief. Your hard days actually mean something … But you get to decide who you will be.” (p. 193)

The destination of the ark is something we never see God show Noah...Listening becomes hard because we don't know exactly where we're going.” (p. 60)

It was so comforting to read a book where the focus was on doubt but how to overcome it. And the best part, Noah was going through his own pandemic. He obeyed God to the letter and saved his family. They were all that were left. Some of us are building something in faith. And some of us are building something out of fear … Faith and fear both fight for you to believe in something you cannot see. Choose your battles wisely.” (p. 195) Resist the urge to control the uncontrollable by finding peace in between the problem and the promise.Our elementary school guidance counselor recommended this book to all parents at our school. It offers good, succinct explanations for what is happening in the brain when kids are overcome by emotion. I have a child who just devolves into uncontrollable tears from time to time. I think I will use the brain-based explanation to help her understand why she sometimes feels so out of control. The stories about the Fixer Upper Farm are also a wonderful touch to the book! I have been around barns and horses most of my life, and this made this book even more reliatable to me. Some of the stories are absolutely hilarious to the point I was in tears, to genuinely heartfelt stories about loss and finding our new paths. I lost my heart horse a few years ago and it was such a hard place to walk through, especially leading up to and right after her loss. My equestrian journey hasn't been all that I thought it would be since losing her, but I hope one day to find the joy I once had with that one horse. We do our part, but God does the hardest. He never expects us to carry the weight of what it means to believe Him / above all our doubts. Trust often feels like the hard thing … in the midst of the hard thing. But I have to also remind myself that God has a habit of doing holy things in the midst of the hard things.” (p. 118-119) Allison Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families.

And this incredible thing God is building in you won't happen in a day either.” (p. 113)
