A Woman Overwhelmed by Hayley DiMarco

About the Book
"A Woman Overwhelmed" is a phrase with which many women can relate. But what would happen if we could see the insanity in our pace and embrace our overwhelming God?
There is a reason they say that a woman’s work is never done— because it isn’t! As women, we often are overwhelmed by the demands and circumstances of life, resulting in stress, fear, worry, impatience, fatigue, frustration, and even depression. The truth is that we were created to be overwhelmed . . . not by life but by God! When we learn to be overwhelmed by God, the fruit in our lives goes from rotten to fragrant—filling our days with peace, hope, love, and joy.
In A Woman Overwhelmed, best-selling author Hayley DiMarco shares biblical insights and personal stories to offer a glimpse at the comedy of an overwhelmed life while encouraging us to discover the depths and heights of God’s love and power.
Be empowered to find freedom in becoming overwhelmed with who God is—by learning to focus on what we know about God so that we can hold onto faith even when it seems that all is lost. For it is when an overwhelmed woman gives up the mission of me and exchanges it for the mission of God that being overwhelmed becomes a good thing.

Choose to bask in the abundance of the Father instead of the abundance of life as his unfathomable depths can surely replace our fathomable messes.

My Thoughts
I loved this book and it came at a very timely point in my life. The realness and transparency of Hayley's writing was a breath of fresh air. Time and again as she shared her personal stories I felt like she was describing my own thoughts, thoughts I sometimes haven't been able to put into words myself. Chapter after chapter I was forced to really examine my heart and while I may not have liked all that I found, it was a revealing that was sorely needed. God sent this book to me exactly when I needed it and I'm not done learning from it. If life has been feeling like it's closing in on you I can't recommend this book enough!
