Right Where You Belong by Heather MacFadyen is a wonderful book about accepting the challenges of parenting and truly listening to God’s call on your life right where you are. This book highlights the seasons of parenting and life and how God can use us throughout these seasons. He knows where you are and can use you right there, right now. Great reminders throughout this book! I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

"Right Where You Belong" by Heather Macfadyen is a great reminder that God has you where you are supposed to be right now. Sometimes we need reminders of this, and the author did a good of job of reminding us of this. She uses scriptures and stories in the Bible to reiterate this.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

So thrilled one of my favorite podcasters has written this book! I know it’s one I’ll turn to time and again when life feels uncertain and I’m unclear on God’s path forward.

“One aspect of occupying our God-given spaces is to trust that no matter the current season, there are reasons we haven’t moved on to the next one yet.” ~ Heather

Trusting that God has us right where he wants us is so hard sometimes, especially if you’re a ‘behind-the-scenes’ kind of gal.

“We can all be on the same team with a secured kingdom victory, but watching from the bench feels less important than playing in the game.” ~ Heather

Heather helps us explore the boundary lines of how God has wired each of us as “co-laborers for Christ” and helps us discover what’s unique about this present season we are in and how God is calling us to fill that time.

With helpful discussion questions at the end of each chapter, I’d highly recommend this for your next book club with your girlfriends! It would also make such a sweet gift for moms and teachers who may feel the nudge towards a new assignment and want to spend the summer exploring it!

Through all the stages in your life the Lord is right there guiding you and using you at that moment for His glory. This book helps you see that right where you are now is where you belong. There are different times in your life for different ministries. For example, they may all involve writing but now may be when you are studying a subject so that when your kids are older you can write the book. I liked how the author used 1Corinthians 7:17 as the guide for this concept. Using the time, we have now instead of worrying about missing out on some service we were called to do. The author explains how you may feel called to a ministry that you won't be involved in for years. Doing what you can now are just the steps to the door that will eventually open for you. An excellent book for anyone wondering if they are doing the Lord's will or are where they need to be at the moment.

“You are right where you belong.”

This book is a helpful tool when it comes to identifying and then fully occupying your God given space! I appreciated the questions at the end of each chapter and found them great for journaling.

Thank you for the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for an honesty review.

Heather’s MacFadyen’s most recent book is about “fully occupying your God-given space.” She encourages readers in using our gifts right where we are, not trying to do more or less of what God has assigned us to do. I loved Heather’s personal and Bible stories interwoven into each chapter. Struggling with purpose after recently leaving my full-time job to be a stay-at-home Mom, I appreciated the reminder that I am exactly where I need to be, that my God-given gifts are not wasted and will, in fact, grow correctly here.
