Sometimes blessings come in the most unexpected places. We never
know just how and when God will decide to bless us. Trina Muller
can't understand why she feels compelled to be a veterinarian. She
has always loved animals; surely God could use her love of animals and
talents to God's glory. If she was just an ordinary girl, her
dreams of college and a career wouldn't be such a big deal.
However, she belongs to an Old Order Mennonite group. Women are not to
have any education beyond grade school, much less a career. She is
supposed to be content in just being a wife and mother.
She has a strong Christian Mennonite man who wants nothing more
than to be her husband. Graham and Trina have known each other for years
and courting for quite some time now. Surely an engagement and
traditional wedding ceremony is right around the corner. Graham sees
Trina's tender heart and encourages her to follow her dream even if
the other members of the fellowship don't understand why she
isn't content to live the life she has to. The only one in
Sommerfeld who truly wants to help Trina achieve her goals is the young
newly-married, stained-glass artist. She has an internet connection and
wants to help in any way possible.
Just as things look like they might be able to do both, their
marriage and her impending career, disaster strikes and it looks like
God isn't blessing them in any way, but isn't He?
"Blessings" is the third book in the "Sommerfeld
Trilogy." Kim Vogel Sawyer doesn't disappoint in this final
book as we leave Sommerfeld. There are moments where you will laugh, cry
and find yourself cheering on the young couple every step of the way. I
was sorry to see the book end and am anxious to read more books by Kim
Vogel Sawyer. Take a trip to Sommerfeld today; you will certainly fall
in love with the characters and simplified way of life.
