1183 Comments

This is my friend Karen Ehman.  I haven’t shared a lot about our budding friendship on my blog – but this year – this woman has been my lifesaver.  As I’ve dipped my toe for the first time into the publishing industry, this veteran author has been with me every step of the way.  She has mentored me, pointed out my writing flaws – like too many – dashes – and my bad habit of getting so excited!!!! And using too many exclamation points!!!! Those are fine for blogging – but not good for book writing. lol!!! (can’t use lol in a book either 🙁 …oh and can’t make those smiley faces! This book writing thing is really cramping my style! lol!)

We have spent countless hours on the phone talking – we always start out talking about “business” and somehow end up on tangents talking about homeschooling, theology, and our issues with the scale!

The original way I discovered Karen was through her blog.  Karen is my favorite “life management” author.  This chick has got her stuff together! You might remember my video from earlier in the month where I shared “My Christmas Planner“…the planner was the brain child of Karen (and her co-author LeAnn).  She has literally helped this mama, whose to-do list is way too long, manage Christmas without spazzing out! lol!

Karen is the wife to her college sweetheart and mother of three.  She’s the Director of Speakers for Proverbs 31 Ministries’ national speaking team.  A five-time author, her books include A Life That Says Welcome, The Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized (if you don’t have this book and feel unorganized – you need it!), Untangling Christmas and more.  She has been a guest on The 700 Club, Moody Midday Connection and Focus on the Family.  She is also a contributor to Focus on the Family’s Thriving Family Magazine and you can find her blogging daily over at www.KarenEhman.com

So let me unveil her Brand New Book published by Zondervan that also has a DVD series and Study Guide available if you want to do this with a group of friends (I so recommend this!!!)

 Drum Roll Please…

 

Let.It.Go. ~ How to Stop Running the Show and Start Walking in Faith

Women are wired to control. We make sure the house is clean, the meals are prepared, the beds are made, the children are dressed, and everyone gets to where they’re going on time. But sometimes our strength of being conscientious can morph into the weakness of being a slight—or all out—control freak! This humorous, yet spiritually practical book will help you learn how to control what you should, trust God with what you can’t, and more importantly, decide which one is which! Join Karen Ehman, a recovering control freak, as she enables you to:

  • Draw the line between mothering and micromanaging
  • Influence your husband instead of manipulating him
  • Take control of your schedule yet welcome interruptions from God
  • Learn to control your emotions when you can’t control the circumstances
  • Stop pursuing the appearance of perfection and start pursuing the person of God

I was given a copy of the book but I purchased my own DVD and study guide on Amazon today!  A birdie told me that my husband and I are mentioned in one of the videos – so this I gotta hear – right?

Karen is giving away two copies of Let.It.Go. to two Women Living Well Readers this week!

To enter to win 1 of 2 copies – simply leave a comment on this post.

For Bonus Entries: Retweet, Facebook Share or Pin this post and then leave an extra comment for each thing you did. 

This giveaway ends Saturday, November 17th at 9pm.

        I would love to win a copy of Karen’s book, her book on hospitality was given to me during key time in our family life and it was wonderful, and because of that Karen will always have a dear spot in my heart.

  33. I am a control freak by flesh-nature, always have been. I am “newly” married (was 2yrs in August) and we just had our first child 9mths ago, so there have definitely been some new challenges to my “manage-it-all” approach to life. I really need to learn how to give it all to God and some guidance would be greatly appreciated! I’m glad and grateful God speaks to women like you, so you can share with women like me.

  37. I’m a new bride of 11 months with our 8 week honeymoon baby girl. I hope to “learn now” instead of “unlearn later.” 🙂 I constantly remind myself that God is in control and I need to let go! This book would be a blessing. Thank you!

  50. This book would be such a blessing to me right now !!!!! Being the wife of a Pastor I think this book would give me great insight in many areas !!!!!

    Reply

  65. If I didn’t know better I would think you wrote this book for me! I guess in a way you did 🙂 Being the mom of a beautiful 3 year old daughter with special needs, I am faced with challenges everyday. Most of them are fighting to get her equipment, therapy and other necessities. Around every corner is someone telling us that these things are not “medically necessary”, eventhough they have never laid eyes on her and have no idea of her limitations. This is where I step in and fight with myself about how much I can control and how much I need to leave to God and his time. I have become a pro at giving it all to God, only to take it all back again.

    Even if I don’t win one of books, I would/need to get my hands on one. Thank you for all you do!!

  180. I’ve actually never heard of this book before, but I think the concept sounds like it would be good for so many women. I think because we notice the details, we tend to want to control them. What God calls us to is something better. <3

  182. This past year has been full of disappointments and hurts for my family, and I have been trying to do exactly what the title of this book says: Let it Go.

I frequently find myself overwhelmed trying to get my kids (2 teenagers) where they and myself need to be. I currently have 3 different businesses of my own and my husband commutes an hour one way everyday. I need help of letting things go and being okay with it!!

  209. I signed up for Karen’s 5 day challenge to Let. It. Go. for Christmas. Day one pushed me right outside of my comfort zone in such an awesome way!

    Reply

  213. So I finally got my Christmas planner together and am using it – upside down and backwards, but still functional. I bought zippered pouches at the dollar store, so only two of the three holes actually fit in a standard 3 ring binder… but they still work ;). I have recommended Untangling Christmas to at least 2 clerks at stores and several friends, too. That said, I think I need a copy of this book, too!

    Reply

  214. I hope I win one of the books, it sounds like information I really, really need to know. If I don’t win, I will definitely have to buy a copy. Blessings to you. Alba

  219. I struggle with feeling disorganized and have difficulty staying organized once I’ve made progress. I also struggle with the sin of perfectionism and I have been praying for God to help me learn to let some things go and be more dependent on Him and less on myself. I believe this book could really be a benefit to me and my family.

    Reply

  220. This book sounds wonderful. I do love Christmas, but honestly the last few years it has really been a big stressor! And I am a pretty organized person!

    Reply

  222. This book.couldnt come at a better time for me!! I already preprdered it but i have several friends i could gift it to for sure! Cant wait!

    Reply

  223. Wow! This book is an answer to my prayers. I have praying for God to show me how to stop trying to control my life and have the strength to wait on him. The circumstances in my life have been such that it has created a control freak. I think out of the desire to protect my children from the events. Doing this I lost my ability to rely on God. I can not wait to read this book.

    Reply

  226. Not sure how to let go, in a blended family with many broken promises and 2 step children that have absolutely defied my desire and efforts to love, guide, discipline and nurture, our home is chaos. Do I let go of my Biblical principles in trying to raise God fearing children (my two are still eagar to follow) or do I let go of trying to be their mom.
    One hurting mom who needs this, something anything.
    Blessings,
    Kareng

  233. How to welcome those interruptions by God? You mean WITHOUT trying to finish what I’m doing or get just one…more…thing…done? Of course, when I try to finish what I was doing (which is often), I forget that God captured my thoughts for a moment, and the moment is lost. I’m really interested in reading about how to welcome God in my busyness.

  236. Ok, so I’m like the 245th person to comment, so there is like a one in a million chance I am going to win, but it is worth giving it a try! I need to go and buy the organization book! Thanks for doing this!

I’d LOVE to learn more about how to let God manage control of my schedule, my image, etc. so I can take a break for a bit…

  371. I have learned to “Let go and let God.” Although I am still guilty of trying to control somethings. I am not OCD by any stretch, I just want to know what’s next and what I need to do to get it done and lined up! Not trying to do the Lord’s job for Him, I just want to make it easier…BUT our job is to just breathe and know that Jesus has got this and He is directing our steps.

  445. Oh I so need this book. I confess I am a perfectionist and feel that if I don’t do it it won’t get done right. A mother of six -although only four live at home- and our youth ministry at church, I feel I could use any extra help that God would send my way.

  451. Sounds like I book I need to get. I’ve have to relinquish some control of flying my own plane of being a pilots wife the last few months of not being able to drive my own car/ plane. with a health scare. God has taught me many things about grace, and control and humor. No matter what got get this book. I’m also a new writer/blogger as well.

  453. Whoa…. I open this blog post just as I text my friend about my issue of “control” being an idol (we are doing No Other God’s Bible Study by Kelly Minter) and how that seems to be a constant issue in my life. Looks like I need this even if I don’t win!

  455. Let Go and Let God… Where do I start? Every morning I wake with the best of intentions but unfortunately I am so set in my controlling ways that many days I barely get a few hours into my day and I have turned my back on that great and wonderful gift He is giving me new every moment of the day. He is so faithful no matter how many times I turn away in a given day.

  496. Oh wow!!! I so need this book. I do NOT know how to let things go, meaning, I stress too much of the time because I cant seem to let things stay undone. I truly know that my basket will never be empty so to speak, but being a perfectionist, makes it even more difficult. Good luck to all who enters and God bless !

  521. Retired from one 30 year career, 5 years into non-profit fundraising and in partnership in a healthy and wellness business to change my lifestyle and that of my loved ones, I still find myself with all ‘A’s on my prioritization list…it is hard for me to identify a ‘B’ because EVERYTHING seems SO important. This book may be just the guidance I need.

  557. Hello, again! I posted yesterday evening and forgot to add something, i did share this to my facebook so others can see this book, with the title of the book let it go, I had an idea. If you have things that are troubling you and you need to give it to God, let it go, why not make a “Give it to God” or “Let it go” box, you can make it out of a shoe box, decorate it any way you like, make a slit in the top, write down on a piece of paper what you need to “let go” of and put it in the box and give to God!

    Reply

  558. One thing that is really hard it to Let It Go so this would be a great read. I think that is the hardest thing about being a mom and your children growing up and you don’t have any control. Looking forward to reading this… even if I don’t win will go to amazon.com.

  583. I have learned to let go of so much especially since we have been blessed with two grandsons. My sister in law is struggling with alot of things – the most recent is she will need to have heart valve replacement surgery and she continuously tells me “I just need to give it to God but I can’t” – she feels a desperation to hang onto what is tangible and real if she can see it. I would love to give her this gift and let her have her time with God and see the real blessings she will receive if she believes He will take care of her and her heart. Blessings with your Ministry and thank you for the daily sharing. Erika
