We’re off to a wedding in a few hours, plus the usual Saturday chores. I only have a handful of links to share with you of interesting things seen round the web this week.

All You Single Ladies…Or At Least Those Over Thirty. Though I would say it is not just for single ladies. Here is an excerpt:

I am burdened that we tend to alienate ourselves (and sometimes our churches facilitate that alienation with extensively segregated ministry) based on the particular burdens we face. Divorced. Single. Mothers. Newlyweds. I’m not discounting the value of counsel specific to our stage of life, but I’m also burdened that we not discount the commonality of our burdens. Whatever emotional battles you face now, tempting you to doubt God and despair over your circumstances, are NOT unique to you or your stage of life. They are “common to man”. You likely experience intense emotional battles (discontentment, loneliness, alienation, despair). You probably experience sin battles (sexual sin, gossip, bitterness). You have many sisters in Christ who have experienced similar variations of the struggles you face. You need your Christian family. Don’t allow Satan to use feelings of alienation to marginalize you in the church.

Let go by Jeanne Damoff. Beautiful post on not clasping, clenching God’s blessings, but letting them go into His hands.

My friend Lizzie of A Dusty Frame has begun a blog with her sister called The Selling Sisters having to do with tips on buying and selling online (Ebay, Etsy, online shop, etc.) from their experiences. I have been thinking about getting into some of that, and I’ve found just glancing through their site informative. I’ll know where to go when I have questions! I hope you’ll check them out.

Have a good Saturday!
