Yvette spoke for our online conference called Encourage. Yvette was wonderful to work with. She was professional and timely. Yvette's speaking is very engaging and full of joy. Her passion and love for the Lord are evident when she speaks. She is relatable as a speaker and easy to listen to. She provided downloads to go along with her topic to enhance her presentation as well. I would highly recommend her as a speaker and hope to be able to work with her again.

Yvette did a short devotional on her book Finding Joy at the 2022 Fall in Love with Jesus Women's Retreat in Broken Bow Oklahoma that I organized. She was great at listening and encouraging us with using the book to help us daily finding joy. She also prepared a Sabbath prayer on our Friday night dinner where we broke bread and took communion together. Yvette helped pull this retreat together with her speaking and I truly valued her time she gave us while she joined us there.

We talk to God. Sometimes. But we really don't expect a response. Neither do we look for him in everyday situations.

This book of devotions allows you to look at your assumptions and spend time with God with scripture in three popular translations (ESV, NIV and the NBLA in Spanish).
