Falling Free {Review}

9/20/2016

1 Comment

 
The must read book of the year released this week. And that is not an exaggeration. You need  to make it a priority to pick up a copy of Falling Free:  Rescued from the Life I Always Wanted by Shannan Martin and soak it up. It was one of those books that leaves you forever impacted. If you’ve read Crazy Love by Francis Chan or Radical by David Platt, this is along those lines in terms of content and potential influence. But Falling Free is more of a personal story of living out the Biblical commands given to disciples of Jesus. It is a modern memoir of the cost of discipleship. It is intriguing, empowering, convicting, challenging. It is filled with truth and grace and courage and transparency and humor. And it is well worth every dollar and every minute you spend on it because I guarantee it will point you to the real Jesus and help you evaluate if your life matches what His Kingdom values.

A Moment of Weakness 

9/10/2016

I’m a processor. Whenever I get asked a question, whether of little importance or great, I need time to gather my thoughts. If I have to give an immediate answer I usually reply with some jumbled mess and then later on think of all the things I should have said, meant to say, and actually think.

I was reminded of this a few days ago. Combine my need-time-to-process-personality with past-due-date-pregnancy-hormones and you get a bit of a messy, awkward situation.

Bottle of Tears {Monday Mentions}

9/5/2016

Sometimes you come across someone doing something so lovely that you keep coming back to it and have to share it every chance you get. 

Bottle of Tears has become that for me.

​This beautiful ministry was birthed from a personal story of continued pain and suffering in order to provide hope and encouragement to others facing trials. 

The concept comes from Psalm 56:8, "You keep track of all my sorrows.  You have collected all my tears in your bottle.  You have recorded each one in your book."

For Everything There is a Season...

9/3/2016

I've dealt with a lot of change throughout my life. And although I have learned to be pretty flexible and adaptable, I've always struggled with finality. I have to take time to process things. And I process them deeply. 

Whether it's saying goodbye to a person or a place or a job or a season of life, I can't simply walk away with ease. Finality always brings with it a heaviness on my heart. Knowing something will be forever changed or different weighs strongly on me.
