Here are some good reads from the last couple of weeks:
Forsaken By God: When Our Fears Become Our Reality. “Psalms 22 ministers to us when we struggle with a God who didn’t move for us as we expected, who didn’t save us from a painful road of life that we prayerfully tried to avoid.”
Pacifying Lies and the Sympathizing Truth. Too often we want to comfort someone in trouble with trite phrases that aren’t even really true. “It is only in looking to Christ that my friend can find comfort. Only in pointing to Christ that I can be a comforter.”
I Don’t Wait Anymore. Excellent. “A lot of girls were sold on a deal and not on a Savior….What if we as girls had learned early on that having Him was everything, not a means to the life we think He would want us to have.”
It Matters Whom You Marry. In ways you might not think about.
SuperMom vs. Abiding Mom…not just for moms.
Upcycled Dressers: Painted, Wallpapered, and Decoupaged. Some creative ideas if you need to refinish furniture.
Hope you have a great Saturday!
Stray Thoughts 
Thank you so much for your comment today. You put it all into perspective perfectly!
(And someday I hope you will enable your email address so I can just hit “reply” to your comments. You often say something that makes me want to discuss it further…)
I really appreciated that article by Bekah also. Glad you linked to it!
And I’m very much looking forward to Fall Into Reading. I’ve been thinking through my plans the last few days, trying to figure out what is important to me to read before the year’s end!
