That intuition is similar to the intuition that guides us in other areas of life. To make it easier, Hashem has given us an intuition to know who that person is. ![]() ![]() And Hashem has selected the ideal match for you. Hashem knows better than you do what’s best for you. Hashem knows the future as He knows the past. He may not have the qualities that you think are essential, and she may come with other traits that you don’t think are particularly helpful.Īnd this is the critical point-the point that most people miss, the point that causes so much misery. But, that person might not resemble the image that you have fashioned in your mind. ![]() The first step is to recognize that Hashem has carefully chosen the ideal match for you, and He wants you to find him or her. The question is: what is the correct approach when dating? If this is difficult in many situations, it is much more so when it comes to choosing a spouse. One of the greatest challenges in life is finding the balance between bitachon and histadlus-recognizing that HASHEM runs the world, yet actively doing our part. ![]()

I gained a few literal pounds while reading this one, and honestly, it's just an enjoyable read filled with some great moments. Olivia is a wonderful foil for the trio, and the antics sometimes remind me a bit of the Stephanie Plum series. I love how he's described and fits into the overall mold in the series. Oz, a new intern for their shop, steals the show in this book. Angie's got her own boyfriend issues, tho she's destined to be with Tate. I love the sibling drama with Angie's family - 7 brothers, oh my! Mel is dating one of them, but he seems pretty normal compared to the rest. Who wanted to win so badly (s)he killed to get the prize? In this installment, bakery owners Mel and Angie, plus their financial backer and bestie Tate, enter a Food Channel cooking competition where an arch rival shows up as well as several former friends and classmates from cooking school. The writing style is perfect for the cozy sub-genre and all the recipes will make your mouth water.
