After my allergist appointment, I stopped in at Barnes & Noble & treated myself with 2 books & a snack. Beautiful day, in 60‘s with a gentle breeze. #contentment #coffeeandbooks

Burroughs thoughts on plague as the height of human suffering coincide with the statement that in Christ we have all.
As a worrier, this book was a really helpful read. The author served as a missionary in Eastern Europe for many years and I loved hearing her stories from that time. It helped put some things into better perspective.
Practicing thankfulness can be so hard. This section was really convicting and gave me a good place to start in kicking off 2020 right!
I‘m not going to say I agreed with all of this book, but it does express some good points. Often, and especially in the church, singleness is seen only as a stage of waiting. Yet, at some point that doesn‘t work and absolutely doesn‘t help. Sometimes, due to circumstance or choice, singleness is just the state of being, and this book acknowledges realities and positive aspects of that from a Christian perspective.

At the beginning of today it definitely did not register with me that this was a #24b4Monday read-a-thon weekend!!
In fact, I think I finished this book cover to cover today and didn‘t even realize I was logging hours until it was complete.
My goal for the weekend isn‘t going to be in hours, but rather to finish one more book to complete my 2019 Goodreads Reading Challenge!!
Local library summer reading challenge? ✔️
I wanted to absolutely love this one because Jeff is the pastor @ the church I attend & I‘ve gleaned so much spiritual wisdom from his other books.
I applaud the plain language most of this book is written with, it‘s an easy & quick read, aside from some Christianity based history within the pages.
I can appreciate the overarching message & it had some quotable moments I made sure not to forget to save, overall it was just “Meh!” for me.
It is from a conscious decision to live out of our new identity, our sense of belonging, that true life-change is possible.
