Wendy, you are a gifted speaker and I thoroughly enjoyed your promotion of Lysa’s book. I am the opposite of being overwhelmed, but I still want to do my best yes for God’s kingdom. My hubby has been looking for work since this past September and hopefully this week we will find out God’s answer on a job opportunity that will cause us to move to the Southeast. I know He will put us where we need to be in His timing! Anyway, I would love to share this book!
Thank you for all you do for God’s kingdom!
Love,

Wendy, you are one of my favorite speakers with Lysa being second. I want my my “Yes” to be my best yes as I’m teaching young people and women to follow Christ. I get so caught up in other things that I lose sight of the ministry that God has called me to.. I want to see young people turn their lives over to Christ and become followers of Him. I want the ladies that I work with become followers of Christ and be filled with his spirit. I need to center on the calling of Christ and make my yeses be the very best yes’
Sounds like something I need to read.
I love hearing your heart here Wendy! I also love God’s timing! In March I was actually selected to be part of the team that read “The Best Yes” and gave Lysa feedback. I was very excited as I had done the same with “Unglued”, but after talking with my husband and praying I realized my best yes was actually saying no to that because I would not have been able to give it the attention I wanted to at that time. Maybe you got my copy!!
Anyway I’ve loved all I’ve read and heard about this book and expect it to speak to me greatly. As a Mom, homeschooler, wife and woman in ministry I know I need to do better at giving God my best yes and need to be empowered to say “No!” I guess when it comes down to it our best yes truly is obedience to God. Thanks again! Blessings to you as you continue to let Him overwhelm your soul!!!
Tip top stffu. I’ll expect more now.
Whoever edits and publishes these articles really knows what they’re doing.
Thank you Wendy for sharing your life and thoughts about this book. I think I could benefit greatly by reading this book because I seem to be pulled in different directions by my work and my family. We are now living a intergenerational life at home. My husband and I went from emptynesters to our daughter and granddaughter living with us. I need some inspiration on hearing God’s Best Yes for me and my family!
Just spoke to a friend last night how my weary and heavy my soul is. I want to know God’s Best Yes so I can once again be overwhelmed by God and not be overwhelmed by schedule and people!
Heartfelt words Wendy…thanks so much for sharing!
Love, Lynne
Thanks You,,, you could have been describing me. I’ve recently said no to some things because I want the best yes. I so desire my soul to be overwhelmed. Blessings to you.
I want my best “yes” to be non-negotiating. I do not want to simply jump on board with everything because I aim to please. I want to know exactly the spirit is leading me to say yes and when I do there are no regrets. With that said I need to discern when to say yes and when to say no because then I start to feel guilty and second guess myself and feel overwhelmed to the point that I physically feel stressed.
Thanks Wendy for sharing as you do- I so love reading thru the Word with you! You are so real and that’s so refreshing. I am currently reading my first book by Lysa- Unglued- and loving it! Sounds like her new book is one to put on my list of books to read!
Wendy, thanks for sharing that the best yes has to be God motivated. I’m not running around, trying to do a lot of things in one day.
I love Proverbs 31 Ministries because it’s for women who want to do their all to serve the Lord.
I’m an only adult child and I keep a regular check up on my mom. Last year, we almost lost her because of an infection while she had a kidney stone operation. For a while she was on oxygen and I refused to believe that she might not make it. Thank God she’s back to her old self. She’s 85 and I thank God she’s still alive!
For a long time, I can’t stop thinking about abused females from girls, teenagers and women who are being abused by fathers, uncles, boyfriends, husbands, etc. And because of that abuse, mental illness can set in. Also, the government has taken away Family Court and that bothers me.
I feel like God is calling me to ministry in someway(s). But I can’t go on feelings. I need to know that God wants me to be in this type of ministry.
You see, I grew up with an abusive alcoholic working father who was abusing my mom. There were times when he’d try to hit mom but he wasn’t able to do it because I got in between them, shielding mom.
When I was 24, mom divorced him. Mom and I both had mental and physical scares. He sexually and physically abused me.
I’ve got some idea about what Moses was going through when God called him to lead the Israelities out of Egypt. Moses stammered so he didn’t think he could be God’s leader.
Jonah, running from God because he didn’t want to be in ministry.
Yes, I know what it’s like to grow up in an abusive household and relationship. But I don’t have the education to be a speaker. Honestly, I don’t want to do it. I think it’s too much for me because I have a mental illness, bipolar. How can God use me?
I haven’t prayed about it because I don’t want to do it. I think it’s all in my mind. Yes, I’ve got conflicting thoughts.
I know it’s time for me to pray about this and stop running from it. I’m asking you to pray for God to show me if this my ministry. For Him to guide me even though I don’t think I’ve got really anything to give.
I know I really need Lysa’s book, “The Best Yes”.
I’ll be reading and rereading that book and making notes while I read. I have some AADS so reading can be a challenge, for me. I still love to read.
In the process of redefining my schedule…taking away some things and adding some things. Some of the take-aways are hard but the “yes’s” are exciting and I am looking forward to seeing how God will use me. I will need His grace, wisdom and guidance. Wendy, I loved watching you open your hands to Him….it’s a good visual for me to remember Who is in control and who needs to remain yielded to Him. 🙂
He hears your prayers and has got this!
