So, almost six years ago I wrote a little post titled Top Ten Bible Study Recommendations and, y'all, it keeps pushing its way to the top of the pile around here. Those ten recommendations are still some of my favorites but I figured it might be time for an updated list. :) 15 Great Bible Studies for Women First a couple of caveats ... because undoubtedly I will leave off your favorite study, right? This list does not include what I call "book studies" which are often found lumped in with ... [Read More]
What I’m Reading {January 2017}
This is probably one of my favorite types of posts to write because I love to share what I'm reading. If we met for coffee and I got there before you, you wouldn't walk in and see me on my phone, you'd see me holding a book {or maybe my Kindle}. I always have a book in my bag. And there are always stacks of books marking where I'm sitting. I desperately want to keep a running list of what I've finished but, well, it's been a few years since I was successful at that. However, I am working ... [Read More]
On Friendship, Bible Journaling, and Craving Connection
Can we talk friendship for a little bit today? This morning, I was thinking about my friendships and identifying those friendships that have stood the test of time and the newer friends who I can't imagine now my life without them. My BFFs from high school are still important to me. There are about six of us who stay in touch and, gosh, we're all so very different in every possible way. But these women have known me from my 1980s hair and buck teeth until now. And seriously, the people who ... [Read More]
12 Things to Say YES to in 2017
Once upon a time there was a girl who wondered how to manage all of life's chaos, all of the days' minutiae, all of her heart's dreams, and all of her mind's doubts. For years she battled with insecurity, anxiety, doubt, and worry. The calendar pages moved from year to year and every January 1st brought her a fresh determination to be different. But somehow by the middle of February she was, once again, overwhelmed, overtired, and over it. Do you know anyone like that? Yeah, me neither. ... [Read More]
Available, Brave, and Connection: My Heart Plan for 2017
2016 was not my best year on record. In fact, it was pretty rough. Not in the way everyone might notice but, for my heart, 2016 was brutal. My journal is full of tear-stained pages begging for God to make clear the path He has for me and pleading on behalf of people I dearly love. The year began and ended with crushing words from people I had trusted with my heart. In many ways, I am more aware than ever of the fickle love we offer each other, the frailty of our relationships, and the desperate ... [Read More]
12 Things to Say NO to in 2017
I have some things to say NO to in 2017 in order to walk in the YES God has for me. I've been thinking about what I want for 2017. Not just for this space, but also for my heart and my family. I've been contemplating where I've been and where I'd like to go in the coming months. And I've been thinking about what it will take to make all of those things happen. Not just what I need to do ... but also what I need to stop doing. And I've realized in order to make 2017 the year I'd like to ... [Read More]
