When I was introduced to Liz Ditty, I was happy to discover the ripples of Dallas’ impact are continuing to spread...God is stretching himself toward us, waiting for us to notice the words he has been whispering
all along. He wants us to live our life with him – even (especially) the ordinary parts. *excerpt taken from foreword

Through beautifully told personal stories of growing to trust the God Who is love, this book invites us to notice the One who “has left invisible Post-It notes for you on the sunrise and throughout your interrupted day….” Reading this wise and engaging book is like spending time with a friend. Liz Ditty encourages us to recognize God’s voice by showing us how she has learned to do so: slowly and carefully, with Scripture and loved ones, through thin seasons and thick, thanks to good-humored resilience and heaps of grace.

This book is illuminating especially for those of us who desperately long to hear from God. I put the book down several times in order to ponder the truths Liz Ditty communicates. It invited me to look at myself, my life with God, and Christian Community in a new way. Liz makes a difficult topic easier to understand and also relatable. That is truly a feat. I was convicted. And, I can say that God spoke to me through this book. It has been one of his many voices in my life.
