Happy Thursday, friends! I'm joining the link-up a day late, but better late than never, right? I'm linking up with Anne from in residence for this post.
Here are things related to what I'm currently loving, reading, remembering, sharing and wishlisting.
I am currently loving being back in Bible study with ladies at my church. We're studying the book of Philippians, the one I helped write, and it is so very good. I'm a small group leader for both the morning and evening times on Wednesdays and though it sounds like a lot, I love the time it forces me to spend really digging in deep to what we're reading that week.
As an introvert and non-teacher, small groups make me a tiny bit nervous, but the Lord is always so sweet to provide lots of moments for discussion over the homework each week. I love meeting new women and I love hearing what they learned through the week. I think it's so interesting to hear from theme they may have picked out for the week we're studying and for this question, there is no right or wrong answer—a room full of people may pick out different themes throughout the portion of Scripture we're studying. We study inductive style, which just means verse by verse.
I am currently reading my newest library book that I just picked up Tuesday. I came home and started it at lunch time and by nine thirty that same night, I was about three fourths of the way through it.
Oh, now I'm remembering when my kids were younger and I might just join you in that puddle of tears...
ReplyDeleteI love finding books that make me want to read them that fast!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in :)
Had not seen that book...but, truthfully, there is just no stopping that Pioneer Woman!!:) I have to be super careful with trips down memory lane too - especially when there are pictures!!
ReplyDeleteI too am loving the ages and stages of my boys right now! Teenage boys are really quite fun.
ReplyDeleteOk, now I need to add that book to my list! It looks like a great read! I remember her early blog days too!
ReplyDeleteAnd ugh, I was just looking at photos of my son when he was younger and I got all teary and emotional. It is so hard!
Natasha- Sorry! I have to be so careful walking down Memory Lane like that...I didn't mean to drag you along with me! Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnne- Me too! Thank you for hostsing us!
ReplyDeleteJennifer- I'm so glad to see you're back to the blogging world! I have to be careful too, I was asking the Lord to help me wrap up those feelings...and He did help me through them and I was able to stop. You need to read this book! You'd love it.
ReplyDeleteJoanne- They really are fun right now. I am happy to say that I've loved every age they've been in and each new phase is my newest favorite.
ReplyDeleteCrackercrumblife- YES! You should read it, I'm sure you'll love it as much as me. Sorry to drag you along with me in my pity party...sometimes I just can't help myself and Timehop nearly does me in. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are enjoying your current read! such a good feeling when a book flies by. I'm wishlisting tons of books too!!!

Thank you, Lauren and there is not much more than a book you cannot put down. Maybe another post should be "books I'm wishlisting on Amazon". That would be a fun link-up!
DeleteYou are the second blog to have mentioned Ree's book; I may have to check that out. There is just no way to getting around missing the days when your kiddos were still little other than to focus on the adults they are becoming or are now. Now, don't I sound wise, when actually I have had that exact same type of cryfest too. All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.
ReplyDeleteYou should read it, Suzanne! If you love her show, you'll love the book. Thanks for the encouragement! You're exactly right, it'll all work out and be just fine. ❤️
