Move On- When Mercy Meets Your Mess Review

Move On. Oh how I've heard that. Going through a bad time? Just move on. Or as Hubs now says, "Just go frozen with it!" Aka Let It Go. But it can be hard. But it doesn't have to be, with God's help. God can meet us with mercy and help us deal with our trial, our problem, our failure, and learn from it and finally move on from it.

Vicki Courtney has a great book, well written, on this topic of trying to move on from something happening in our lives. In Move On: When Mercy Meets Your Mess, Vicki goes into topics like US and THEM, which was a favorite chapter of mine, that dealt with how we can seperate ourselves from others because; They don't need Jesus- we all need Jesus. They are not sinners. WE all are sinners. Sin is not a behavior- it is a condition. If we can process that, then there doesn't have to be an Us and Them.

Chapter titles in Move On include: Cleanup on Aisle One! Santized for Your Protection. Unclaimed Baggage. Law and Disorder and others. The end of each chapter involves a "Coming Clean" section, coming back to review what was discussed in the chapter and taking a deeper look at what we can get from God and having Him help us to move on from our messes, our problems and getting to the other side of the desert. 

Book Description

Life is often messy. God makes provision to help us move beyond our messes but often our first instinct is to hide, deny, ignore, or run from them. Yet it is in the middle of our mess where mercy shows up and offers a safe place to process our struggles, imperfections, doubts, and fears. Then with mercy by our side, we are able to move on and experience the grace and freedom God intended.
In Move On best-selling author Vicki Courtney helps readers come clean with their muddy messes, revealing the deeper issues they must face, including:

• Christian snobbery
• struggles and broken dreams
• the past
• shame
• legalism
• the need for approval
• idols
• fickle faith

Once we face our messes, God, with his sweet mercy, can help us to get real, deal, and truly move on.
