Y'all, my book stack is HUGE. Seriously. But so many of my friends are writing so many great books ... and I want to tell you all about all of them. But then all I'd be talking about is books and while I love books, I also have other things I want to share with you so these posts are my way of giving you information about what I'm reading and what books I think you'd love. {Also, that was seriously a crazy run-on sentence. ha!} So, here the books I'm working my way through in September. {The ...

My New Journaling Bible || HCSB Illustrator’s Notetaking Bible
So, I have a new journaling Bible. Yes, this makes three. Whatev. :) I use my journaling Bibles in different ways and I have loved experimenting with techniques and tools. I love the way I can slow down and meditate on a passage or idea or even a word as I create on the pages of my Bible. It has become a very important part of my time in the Word. And I've also loved the challenge of learning new ways to illustrate what God is showing me. I am a pretty good hand letterer ... but, y'all, I ... [Read More]
On the Hard Days
Yesterday one of our very best friends from Georgia passed away unexpectedly. Last night I hugged one of my dear friends whose daughter is leaving today for college and whose husband is battling cancer. The precious young lady who used to cut my hair will bury her mom today. When I wrote Tuesday's post about knowing God holds it all together, I had no idea what the rest of this week would bring. I had no idea I'd be overwhelmed by grief and aching for those who are facing the darkest kind of ... [Read More]
God Is Plotting for Your Glory

Using the book of Ruth as a backdrop, Piper carefully explores God's sovereignty. I started reading it about a month ago and even though it's only 160 pages ... [Read More]
A Prayer for My Girl’s Junior Year
We've entered a whole new era ... I no longer drive my girl to and from school. She has a driver's license and a vehicle. She'll pull that little white SUV into an assigned parking place this morning and when she finishes first day of her junior year, she'll drive herself home. I've been thinking a lot about how I feel about all of this and just her growing up in general. And, while there are moments when I do long for that adorable little girl who loved Polly Pockets and stacks of beaded ... [Read More]
What Counts as Success?
If you've ever heard me speak, you've undoubtedly heard these two sentences ... "Go ahead and take that nap!" and "We have a low standard of success: if no one's dead and no one's in jail, it's a good day." I know, you're now thinking, "Holy cow, this girl is crazy!" And yeah, I probably am. Of course, there's a lot more than meets the eye in those two statements. And, while I'm no where near as level-headed as I'd like to be about life {seriously, I'm an over-the-top emotional girl ... [Read More]
