A Practical Walk

FIGS #2

Elisabeth over at Optimistic Musings had the great idea to do a Finding Joy in Gratitude collective (F.I.G.). Here’s a link to mine from last week. I ain’t gonna lie, this was a tough week for various reasons. But there were abundant blessings and much to be grateful for! Sunday – I’m thankful for the beautiful weather we had…
February Book Stack

I believe every book we as believers read, must be compared to the truths of Scripture. Any book I recommend does not necessarily mean I agree with 100% of it. All reading we do, should be done with the Bible truths in the forefront of our minds. Wholehearted Wisdom – A Curated Collection for Adoptive &…
Really Thirsty

Life’s been full lately: full of traveling, full of plans, full of changes, full of seeing loved ones, full of answering people’s questions, and full of unkowns. We just got back from a full 2 week trip. With my routine out of whack and wanting to get as much time with people as possible, I…

Elisabeth over at Optimistic Musings had the great idea to do a Finding Joy in Gratitude collective (F.I.G.). I immediately knew I wanted to participate, but with a 2 week trip in February, it got put on the back burner. Now I’m home and ready to participate for this week! I’ll have to back up…
January Book Stack

I believe every book we as believers read, must be compared to the truths of Scripture. Any book I recommend does not necessarily mean I agree with 100% of it. All reading we do, should be done with the Bible truths in the forefront of our minds. As January rolls to an end, I thought I’d…
Makes Me Miss You

It’s strange the things that make my heart ache for West Africa: I know I’ll keep missing West Africa, but it’s odd to me the random things that hit me. I miss the colorfulness of Africa. I loved walking down to this little Friday market.
Saturated

I’ve never done a “word for the year” thing, but there’s been a word swishing around my head. Saturated The premise of the book The Well-Watered Woman was about keeping yourself watered with the Word of God. Maybe that’s what put the idea in my head, but I keep coming back to the concept that…
Trust

I read an excellent book a while ago called Trust by Dr. Henry Cloud. One of the things he touched on was how there’s different ways of being trustworthy. He used the example of needing knee surgery. He might have a very good friend he trusts a lot, but wouldn’t trust him to do the…
A Fun Little Book I’ve Been Enjoying!

We were in Goodwill (my favorite place to shop) and my daughter walked up to me, handed me a book and said, “You should get this.” Now, I don’t often get books from Goodwill…I’m too busy sorting through the racks looking for a cute dress to give the book seciton much attention. But then I…
Clinging to What Doesn’t Change

Plans change. People change (for the better or for the worse). Our health changes. My location changes. Life is just full of changes. During changes I find my self clinging more and more to what doesn’t change or at least what I percieve as not changing. But what truly doesn’t change? God. He is still…
