Friday Faves

I always love when a friend shares something they love. I enjoy hearing about what friends are reading, what apps they are using, and what podcasts they are listening to. I listen to a podcast (I'll mention it in my faves list) where she asks her guests three things they are loving and three things they are reading. I thought it would be fun if I followed this format and share my reads and loves. I would love for anyone who is loving something right now to post in the comments or on social media. So, here we go...

Things I am reading:

Loving My Actual Life by Alexandra Kuykendall
**This book set off my summer of reset refocusing my attention to what matters to me and what I want my life to look like.
Present Over Perfect by Shauna Niequest
**This book is a breath of fresh air; to be empowered to remove the busy title and reestablish rest in our lives.
Giddy Up Eunice by Sophie Hudson
**Sophie Hudson is the author of the BooMama blog and is absolutely hilarious. Her reads are fun. This book reminds us ladies that we need each other and the need for relationships with other women of all ages. She uses stories of ladies in the Bible to open our eyes to the blessings that lie in relationships between women.


Things I am loving:

The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey
**Jamie speaks with ladies who work in various fields talking about their passions and every day life. It's like two girlfriends chatting over coffee. Refreshing, inspiring, and fun.
IF:Gathering App
**I am a HUGE fan of the IF:Gathering ministry that Jennie Allen founded. This app is easy to use and has lessons that are quick and easy to follow.

Live Simply
Love Generously
Learn Constantly

Love & Blessings,
Meg

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold...

The Promise Land

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 We Christians like this verse; like A LOT. We have it written all over the place. We hang this verse up in our home and tattoo it to our bodies. Jeremiah 29:11 is everyone's life verse. I mean, who doesn't want to rest in knowing the God has a plan for our life; especially when that plan includes safety and prosperity. Even if I didn't believe in God, I would hold onto this verse. What if, however, we have been misinterpreting this verse all these years? This life, the here and the now, we like it. Well, some of us probably want to throw this life in the trash like a rough draft and have a do-over. But, for the most part, we hold onto this life for dear life. It is all we know. It can be scary to think of anything else. Because of this, we go all in even when the cards we are dealt are bad. Thi...
