The author looks at 'messy' in the context of home, family, children, church, community, meals and celebrations. As someone who has lived in eight homes in four cities and one town, spread across three countries, in the course of her married life, she has had to reassess her priorities regularly and work out what really matters in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom studying the Scriptures, Amanda has discovered that it's God's grace that matters, not our flawless performance or impressive presentation.
