On Easter morning in a cemetery in Utopia, following one of the biggest storms in young Luke’s life, his heart was rescued. He introduced Luke to the resurrected Jesus, our True North during the storms of life. He introduced Luke to the One who gave it all so that we might live. So, on Easter morning Johnny introduced Luke to the deeper meaning of SFT. He had engaged Luke’s brain but the heart was still hanging out in the wind. He marked his ball with SFT to keep himself focused and reminded of true north. This simple process changed Luke’s golf game and became his foundation. And in a similar way, that is where many of us find ourselves this Easter.Įarlier in the week, Johnny had set up this scene by teaching Luke the key to the mental game of golf was to have an unshakable mental process so that on game day, when the inner noise becomes deafening and the intensity boils to a cauldron of pressure, the mind has a place to go… a place that becomes true north in the heat of the adversities of competition and life-See it, Feel it, Trust it. Luke had arrived in Utopia on Palm Sunday and was in the midst of the storm of his life during Easter week.

It is about knowing that we can always change, that there are pieces of ourselves which haunt and motivate us. The Seven Year Slip is one of those books I stayed up late to finish. There were some stunning twists I did not see coming! It’s a perfect blend of timey wimey tension with romance. It’s a reminder about the things we are called to do, our love and passions, and the ways we can never give up on our dreams. The Seven Year Slip is full of chemistry, memories, and hope.

I could identify with Clementine and how she’s using work as a shield to her grief, to her sense of listlessness, and fears. Except, hang on, it looks like hes fallen for a local girl. You keep wondering, how can they work out? And then it turns into how can they broach this distance?

Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. And she might again.Įxcept, he exists in the past. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone-she isn’t sure her heart can take it.Īnd then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going.

I wasn’t sure how this time jumping romance would work, but it was an emotional and swoony read. As a major fan of Ashley Poston, I was so excited for The Seven Year Slip.
