My Heart

By: Julie Manning

Narrated by: Jorjeana Marie

What if you were told there's a possibility you would not be alive to see this afternoon or wake up tomorrow morning? Do you think you would live differently? How would this reality affect every single moment of the life you have been given?

Julie Manning was in the middle of giving birth to her second child when doctors noticed an irregularity in her heartbeat. Within six weeks, tests revealed it was no one-time occurrence. This ultra-capable mom, wife, marathon runner, and pediatric nurse practitioner was in active heart failure, finding herself at risk for experiencing a sudden cardiac death.

Julie's book, My Heart, is the first-person account of her journey from then to now—from a healthy woman's normal expectations and self-reliance to the surrendering of her dreams, plans, and deepest desires into the hands of our unchanging God. Part retelling and reflection, part in-the-moment prayer journal, her story takes you with honest vulnerability into the jaws of fear and suffering, and speaks realistic hope into your own story, leaving you with well-fought, well-placed confidence for the road ahead.

It's what her heart would like to say to you . . . about the faithful, loving, impeccably trustworthy heart of God.

I connect with this story more than I want too!

Thanks for pinning your story in a book. I connect as I watched my identical twin sister go through heart issues way to young, with her family of three kids and her wonderful husband by her side supporting her all the way. She had your same joy, hope, and desire for her kids to just know Jesus personally and to trust in Him always through all things. She lived everyday to the fullest, until Jesus finally said, ‘come home’ at 46 years old. I just want you to know her family is doing well, her kids are fine, and most importantly, they all have their faith. Keep pinning those prayers for your kids…that will be a huge treasure for them one day! Joy and blessings, Jenny H.
