What We’re Reading Lately (WWRL)

WWRL

Do you have a stack of unread books, staring at you, mocking you? ‘¦just reminds me of piles of laundry, dishes in the sink, and paperwork on the counter.  Sometimes all of this unfinished business starts. to. make. me. crazy!  Don’t get me wrong I love books! So we’ve begun to play nice with that snarky stack of books again. The words here have connected with our hearts, and so we share just a few of them now, with you:

Britt StackAs Christians, you and I should not live our lives in self-indulgence, but in self-control and discipline. Putting on a Gentle and Quiet Spirit, Elizabeth George.

I love this contrast.  Being self-indulgent conflicts with a life of self-control and discipline.  Indulging ourselves feels good momentarily but in the long run, like too much sugar, it can make you sick sick at heart.

“God’s words set boundaries and give freedom.  His words create life and bring death.  God created talk and his first words to Adam and Eve demonstrate its significance.  Words are not cheap.  Words reveal, define, explain, and shape.”  

“May we strive to maintain connection through conversation (1 Corinthians 12:12).”

War of Words by Paul David Tripp

The word fellowship is KOINONIA in Greek, meaning “common, joint participation.”  Acts 2:42 tells us they continued steadfastly in the apostle’s doctrine and fellowship (koinonia) and in breaking bread, and in prayers. 

 Sydney

Syd Stack

“The parting is but for a time,” she said, ” heaven is as near to Africa as it is to England; my son takes God’s blessing with him, and that is more than all.”  Charlie’s Choice, M.L. Nesbitt

Goodbyes can be hard, but “the blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:22).

So, what have YOU been reading lately?

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️
