Why Can't I Get It Together?

Kick Unrealistic Expectations to the Curb and Rest in God's Truth

Read by the author.

We’re trying to “get it together” in areas we have no control over. We keep trying, but we’ll never move the needle to a better future because it has nothing to do with us or anything we can do.

You don’t always have to give in to what the world, your family, or your own self declares is the way things are “supposed” to be. God desires goodness and joy for us. God, Jesus, and the Spirit went to great lengths to offer you and me the best good news ever.

In Why Can’t I Get It Together?, Jamie Ivey, host of The Happy Hour podcast, shares how to

• Define the reality of your current circumstances
• Ponder the areas of your life that are out of control
• Stop self-shame
• Create better expectations for yourself
• Move forward in an effort to chase holiness

Jamie guides us through six areas of our lives that are affecting our perception of God’s love in our realities. Dig deep into God’s Word to see what it says about why we keep sinning, how to stop, and what God feels about us in the midst of it all.

Reflect sections can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Honest life telling

I found this book both relatable and encouraging. Great reminder to be real with yourself and with God. I appreciate all the other authors and guest speakers she referenced and the scriptures she recalled as it related to the feelings we feel when life feels out of balance.

Helped Me

No condemnation but also no-nonsense. Jamie Ivy delivers a message that draws her readers in as friends while introducing them to a kinder view of themselves and inviting them to draw closer to a God who truly loves them.

So great!

Jamie does a great job of providing real life stories & examples from her own life to help listeners relate to each of the 6 categories she identified as being the fundamental areas where we feel we can't get it together. Very well organized & articulated to relate to many different struggles in the different seasons of life we navigate as Christian women. She references biblical stories & relevant verses of scripture in every chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed it & highly recommend it!

Such a good read about not having it all together!!!

Jamie did such a marvelous job, as always, writing this book with the help of her team of earthly people but mostly by the Holy Spirit guiding her thought and words. I highly recommend listening to her book on Audibles to truly experience what she intended it to be. There is a lot of help and resources included with her purpose to help you learn how to get it together in all seasons of life. I loved every word of it!!! Thank you, Jamie!!! You are always such an inspiration to and my own walk with Our Lord.

REAL REALITY

I loved how the author kept reminding the readers that she didn’t have it altogether & neither could speak specifically into our messes. She gave great ideas, words of experience, wisdom and most importantly directed us to God’s word for affirmation & transformation. Be blessed.
