Dear God is a poignant collection of funny, often heartbreaking, and deeply insightful letters to God that bravely share the emotions we all feel as we grapple with this broken world and search for divine love.





From the publisher:


With the same gutsy and poetic honesty that charmed readers around the world, Bunmi now shares prayers and poems that chart her faith journey toward reconnecting with the God she loved, lost, and realized had never left her side even while she wandered. These candid field notes will stir your heart and make you laugh out loud with Bunmi's self-aware humor and profound insight into the spiritual journey we're all trying to navigate.

Join Bunmi as she journeys through emotions we all experience--doubt, anger, joy, desperation, love, loneliness, and gratefulness. Wittingly fresh and stunningly relatable, she exquisitely names our fears, voices our painful questions, and bravely says what we're all thinking anyway in our prayerful wrestling with God.

For those who find themselves thirsting for something more, those who seek to reconnect with God, or those who really don't know what they believe but appreciate a good word, this poignant collection of prayers is a strengthening reminder that the same Love that rises and sets the sun cares for you with particular affection.


I am not religious. This book should not be for me. But it was. Beautiful prose . . . brutal honesty . . . comfort and grace and relevance. Every moment I was reading it, I was not alone. What kind of magic is this?

-Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of Furiously Happy


Already known for her hilarious storytelling, Bunmi Laditan returns with more of her humanity on display. Here she speaks with God honestly, giving us permission to do the same.

-Austin Channing Brown, New York Times bestselling author of I’m Still Here


Bunmi Laditan vulnerably and courageously shows us how to bring our doubts and accusations, our fears and uncertainties, to God directly. Bunmi opens her heart on every page, from the mundane to the deeply personal, as she blurs the lines between poetry and prayer, love and fear, trust and mistrust. If you’ve ever been afraid to bring your full self to God, ashamed that deep down you’re not good enough for God to listen to, Dear God is a window into someone who has learned that faith isn’t about trusting what we know but about trusting that we are known.

Khi đọc các bài giới thiệu nền tảng giải trí, tôi thường thích những bài viết ngắn gọn để có thể xem nhanh trên điện thoại. Bài viết này có bố cục khá dễ theo dõi khi phần nhắc đến Kubet được đặt ở giữa nội dung. Điều đó giúp mạch bài trở nên tự nhiên hơn và không tạo cảm giác quảng cáo quá sớm. Nội dung tập trung vào trải nghiệm chung của người dùng với giao diện dễ sử dụng và nhiều danh mục quen thuộc như slot, game bài hay mini game. Nhìn chung cách diễn đạt khá nhẹ nhàng và dễ hiểu.

Mình nhớ trong quá trình đọc các thảo luận, mình có để ý thấy Kubet được nhắc qua nên thử vào xem cho biết. Mình chỉ xem nhanh tổng thể chứ chưa tìm hiểu sâu, nhưng cảm giác ban đầu là cách trình bày khá thoáng, bố cục rõ ràng, nhìn vào không bị rối mắt.

I almost didn't try Meowdoku because the name sounded silly, but the gameplay is no joke. You have to manage rows, columns, colors, and diagonal spacing at the same time. It's the closest I've come to feeling like a professional cat spatial planner.

Vừa mở lên là thấy giao diện kiểu đồng bộ thật, bấm qua lại không bị lệch nhịp hay phải đoán xem nút nằm đâu mm88.com  Nội dung cũng chia thành từng khối rõ ràng nên lướt nhanh vẫn nắm được ý chính, không bị ngợp chữ. Mình thích cái cách họ viết kiểu “ăn khớp” ngay từ đầu, đọc vài dòng là hiểu họ muốn hướng tới trải nghiệm liền mạch chứ không màu mè. Kéo xuống thấy các tiêu đề và box tách bạch, nhìn phát là biết phần nào là nội dung chính, phần nào chỉ là thông tin kèm theo.

Hôm nay lúc ngồi đọc vài bài chia sẻ trên mạng, mình vô tình thấy nhiều người nhắc đến GO8 nên tiện bấm vào xem thử. Mình chỉ lướt qua một lúc để tham khảo chứ chưa tìm hiểu chi tiết, nhưng cảm nhận ban đầu là giao diện khá dễ nhìn, các mục được sắp xếp gọn gàng và rõ ràng. Nhờ vậy, mình cũng nhanh chóng hình dung được cách bố trí nội dung mà không phải mất nhiều thời gian làm quen.

How Staying Focused Keeps You Afloat

In the last post I wrote about how in the story of Nehemiah, two men called Sanballat and Tobiah were instantly disturbed by Nehemiah's plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 

 

Then they laughed and accused Nehemiah of doing wrong. Nehemiah didn't fight them or go on a tirade defending himself. His answer to his newly formed panel of agitators was to state his unmoving faith in God. Even as they spread falsehoods against Nehemiah, he prevailed. How? He kept his eyes on the One who had given him his project. Focus will keep you on track and even in joy as you work. Keep reading.

Rejecting Every False Prophecy/Curse & Choosing God's Vision

When Sanballat and his buddies realized he could not attack Nehemiah's body, they tried to attack his mind with accusations. When they realized the attacks on the mind did not work, they tried to attack his spirit by having him come into physical agreement with false prophecy of imminent attack and death ("they will come and kill you").

What has been falsely prophesied over your work? That it's not a good time to start? That the economy isn't good enough? That no one will like your work? That it will fail? That you're not the one to do it? The enemy cannot physically make you stop but he will try to discourage and discredit you. Come out of agreement with any false prophetic word and come into agreement God's sight for your project. Keep reading.
