Need You Now-A Story of Hope

          I just started reading the book by the singer, Plumb called "Need You Now" yesterday and I am on chapter 6 already out of 22 chapters. It is hard to put that book down. I am writing about it because it fits my life so perfectly. It is like I wrote the book but replaced some of the events because I didn't want to write about them. It is that close and heart touching to me. I wouldn't be surprised if I finish it by next Friday.
        I heard of the book from a college friend of mine and she even said it would be perfect for me to read. She was right! She read it first and loved it.
        The funny thing is that Plumb's real name is Tiffany too so that makes it even closer for me. I already love how she gave the verses that helped her through her anxiety. She also already said that she tried everything under the sky to help her calm her anxiety but it was only when she turned to God that things got better. She looked at her anxiety as a way of getting closer to God. The other thing that I found true with me too is that I remember having a great ealry childhood but I think it was Jr. high when things started to go downhill from there.
         I kind of want to rewrite the whole story just my story. It would be a good outline at least. The chapters are really short and you can get through them really fast. Yet the chapters are to the point and really meaningful. There was one chapter at the start that I really loved and had a good lesson in it. It was called "Joy is a Choice". I heard that phase before she explained it in a real life situation. It was mainly about you can have joy all the time but it is a choice in every situation.
           It also compared what happiness was, which was just a feeling, and it compared it to joy, which is something you have all the time if you chose to. I want to read all of the book and then write about it but then again I want to leave some of it blank so people will buy it. She also said in the joy chapter that hope and joy go together. You can't have joy if you don't have hope. She went on to explain that in another chapter too. It was just an eye opening for me because it was another new perspective for me to see.
           Sorry this entry is shorter then the others and if it doesn't make that much sense. I just don't want to write a book report but I wanted to remember a important lesson from the book.

"Joy is a choice but hope needs to be with it to be real."
