Oh girls. I have been doing some darn good reading here lately. So good, in fact, that I just can’t keep it all to myself!
Enjoy these powerful quotes and have a marvelous Monday, friends….
From More Than A Good Bible Study Girl by Lysa Terkeurst:
So I invite each of us into the possibility of seeing God. Not His actual physical form, but rather evidence of His activity. I want us to be women who lift our eyes up to God everyday and say, “Yes, God, there are some who seek you today! I understand it is possible to experience You; therefore, I want that more than anything else. I will seek to see You, hear You, know You, and follow hard after You in every part of my day.” (p.173-174)
From Fearless by Max Lucado:
Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? “I’ll take care of it in a moment.” Of course you don’t! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety. The moment a concern surfaces, deal with it. Don’t dwell on it……Be a doer, not a stewer. (p.49)
From Grace Based Parenting by Dr. Tim Kimmel:
Fear-based parenting is the surest way to create intimidated kids. (p.13)
From Autumn in the Country by Gooseberry Patch:
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. – Ralph Waldo Emerson (p. 24)
Oh! You quoted Grace-Based Parenting…are you enjoying it??

I love Lysa's new book!
And I love the quote you shared about being a doer and not a stewer! A good word for me!
Blessings, sweet Kate!
When someone allows me to borrow a GOOD book, I end up having to have my own copy 'cause I can not read without a writing utensil in my hand to mark it up! Thanks for sharing what you are learning!
Oh Kate, I get so excited when I see you've done a new post. I love the books you're reading. Lysa's book sounds especially good. I remember when she was asking for input on the title on her blog. I didn't vote for that title but I have to say …I was wrong. It turned out to be a great title.
I pray that you are doing well little mama. I'm sure there are challenges with your time but enjoy this season in your life as much as possible.
Thinking of you and praying for you,
Debbie
