Scripture speaking to my heart
"I’m thanking you, God, from a full heart, I’m writing the book on your wonders. I’m whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy; I’m singing your song, High God." - Psalm 9:1-2
What am I reading?
I'm pondering reading The Srewtape Letters by C.S. Lewis next since it has been on my list for quite some time. In the meantime, on Monday friends shared what they are reading for Get to Know You Monday. There may be a few books mentioned you will want to add to your list.
A few of my favorite blog reads

That God shaped hole that exists deep within our souls; that yearning for unconditional acceptance and a love worth dying for; those deep soul desires can only be filled through a relationship with the One true God. The Great Game Changer, by Lori of Standing With The Military Family
Our stories and our words are a vessel of love, a life raft for souls that are sinking. Stars that shine through the darkness. Your Life: A Story Worth Sharing by Matt Ham
The truth is, we sacrifice our freedom on the altar to fear when we measure the size of the waves instead of the size of His hands. How We Measure the Size of the Waves by Diane Bailey

Blog Hop tour thingy
Have you seen it going around? I have been invited several times to participate and each invite makes it harder to pass on. With the desire to spend less time writing and online I've decided now is not the time for me. But I'm enjoying getting to know writing friends better from what they share and meeting a few of their friends. If you have participated I would love for you to share a link to your post in the comments?
Prayer request
My heart is hurting for my youngest son. He has a broken heart right now and as his mother I wish I could take his pain away. I won't share details but could you please pray for his heart to be encouraged? Thank you, friends.
Wishing you many blessings this weekend.
I will be praying for your son today, Beth. It is amazing how our hearts can break for our sons. I am so grateful our God knows how to tend to their hearts & to their wounds and binds them up. Much love!
ReplyDeleteOh how our hearts ache when one of our children are in pain ... praying for your family right now, Beth.
ReplyDeletePraying for your son, your "Hero at Home". Love you so. Heart Hugs, Shelly <3

ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be finding so many Christian blogs.
Thank you for this post. God Bless You!
Prayers for your son now Beth. Blessings to you as you listen to the Lord over all things. I so appreciate your heart and the beauty you create in your space here.
ReplyDeleteDear, Beth, I would be honored to pray for your son.
ReplyDeleteI recommend the Screwtape Letters. Definitely not for everyone, but I enjoyed it. Sweet of you to give Linda a shout out! I just know she's going to do great!
How fun that the blog tour is still going strong! Here is my contribution: http://www.inspiredbyjune.com/2014/06/inspired-by-community.html
I'm bummed I missed Get To Know You Monday this week :( Ugh, Monday's are the worst. But coming here will make them better :)
Have a great weekend!
Praying for your son, you, and your family.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Praying for him today! Love your new site!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Screwtape Letters soooooo badly. Just don't have enough hours in each day right now. I'm praying for your son and your family today. You are on my prayer filled heart much of the time. You should share your prayer request in the #ALLIN Facebook group. They would be honored to pray for you too. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI did that blog tour about two months ago. First one I had done and it was fun!

My love to you, Heather
Your new blog layout is beautiful, Beth! It is very easy to navigate and very pleasing to the eye! :) Have a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove, Joan
Praying for your son! I LOVE your new design. What a beautiful picture of you :)
ReplyDeleteHi Pretty Lady in the Sun Bonnet! I am so sorry about your son, of course he has been in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the blog hop thing. I have been invited many times, finally decided to join one. Good for you for staying true to your needs.
One other blogger mentioned the Screwtape Letters, and I have never read it. This is the second mention, so I'll get it on my 'to read' list.
Hope the alternative date works for you,
Ceil
I am sorry to wrap this up in one comment instead of responding individually but it's been a busy, busy weekend. But THANK YOU to all of you for praying for my son. God has been tending to both of our hearts these past few days as we work through some changes. Much love to you all. xoxo
