Publisher's Summary:
Our lives consist of moments. Stitched together like the seams on a coat, these moments cloak us in awareness and possibility. But what if we miss our moments? What if we live in a bland state of wandering? Seeking growth, seeking passion - but missing the moments in which God tries to pull the thread through the cloth in the way we've dreamed of?
Watershed moments are the turning points in our lives brought on by circumstances which stop us in our tracks. A new direction; a fresh perspective; an answered prayer; a humble surrender - these are the moments that redirect us; leaving us profoundly changed. Through a progression of seven types of Watershed moments (the Watersheds of change, unraveling, rebuilding, purpose, abandoning [control], overcoming, and belief), Gari portrays life as a series of moments we encounter where we can face or turn away from change. A life marked by Watershed moments starts from the place where we live desperately hoping for some kind of new and freeing adventure.
Through the lives of Abraham, David, Rebekah, Jacob, Rachel, Nehemiah, Peter, and many more, as well as through personal Watershed moments in her life and the lives of several women who have written their own stories, Watershed Moments is a bold invitation to pay attention to the revelation God gives in the twinkling of a second at our moments of change. God uses watershed moments to position us to go one direction or another. It's at these Watersheds we utter, 'I can't go back. This moment will change me forever.'
Members Reviews:
enjoyablle but too much like a sermon
I expected this book to be more focused on how to respond to watershed moments. Instead, I felt like it was a Bible story book. I like the writer's style. You could use this as a guidebook for Sunday School Classes but not for practical guidance on how to turn watershed moments into opportunities for growth.
Empowering
Love all the stories in the book and her teaching style. I am strengthened and awakened. Thanks! God bless
Really great book!
Watershed moments are defined by the author as being âthose turning points that inspire us, challenge us, stop us in our tracks, and change the course of our livesâ. The whole book is all about the moments, and the things we can learn as we go through them. There are seven âwatershedsâ that the author uses: Change, Awareness, Rebuilding, Control, Approval, Overcoming and Belief.
In the section on the Watershed of Change, the author makes a statement that really stuck out to me:
âWhat a joy it is to realize that, like those (mountain) flowers, we donât change so that we will be noticed by others. We donât change out of guilt or duty, but rather for the sheer pleasure of learning the ways of God. We know He will acknowledge our courage, even if no one else does.â
What truth there is in that â any changes that we need to make, should be made out of pleasure, just for God. We should never try to change ourselves to satisfy people in our lives, because we donât need to be worried about them. We only need to worry about one Person.
In the section on the Watershed of Rebuilding, the author takes us back to Nehemiah and his desire to rebuild the wall in Jerusalem.
