God Expects Me: Living the Reality of Life by Embracing the Reality of God

Mayme was 19 when she packed everything except her childhood faith, moved away from home, and pursued adulthood in a world that rarely mentioned God. Although successful in society’s eyes, time brewed an internal unrest as she muted God’s whispers within her soul. Married and entering her thirties, she dusted off buried memories of faith for one reason only – she wanted a miracle. Thus began the naïve, self-centered communication with the miracle-performing God she learned about in grade school. God took His daughter’s hand, cultivated the tiny seed of faith presented to Him, and stirred in her the desire to know what she did not know. God Expects Me is the thought-provoking story of discovering friendship with God. It walks through the adventure of maturing spiritually via humorous, touching, educational, and necessary lessons learned by an ordinary Catholic who grew to embrace God as the reality of day-to-day life. Whether you are only beginning to take His hand, are frustrated in your faith, want to better explain your beliefs, or simply want more, this read encourages you to let Him take you deeper into your relationship with Him. As the pages unfold, you may be surprised to find that you are the “Me” in God Expects Me.

The author's mother has been calling her by the nickname "Mayme" since she was a child. Mary Bulger presents this sentimental tag in her first book, God Expects Me, to honor her mother and family heritage. She delights in time shared with family and friends, dabbles in painting, has a passion for cooking up recipes geared toward healthy eating habits, and is active in the Catholic parish where she is a member. She currently enjoys a part-time position at a neighboring parish as the rectory cook. Mayme lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she always looks forward to a morning cup of coffee with her loving husband.
