My journey from newlywed, to mother of two, to single mom - trying to heal - and become the mother God made me to be

"Some days, I think God is just like me."God may be hard to describe, but one young Puerto Rican girl in New York City finds examples of God's character all around her. As she goes day-by-day through the week, she talks to God about the delightful ways she and God are similar. From vivid sunrises and colorful paintings, dancing to music in the park, loud thunderstorms, and fishing on a quiet lake, the evidence that she is made in the image of God is everywhere she looks.This joyful, heartfelt story offers a fresh take on what it means to be made in God's image.
