Today, we’re celebrating the fact that our oldest is turning 3….three trips around the sun for our little ‘why’ girl. Today, I’m thanking God for the many blessings He’s brought our way through her and asking Him to grant her a heart that loves Jesus above else.
Here are a few links for your weekend reading:
Why Suffering?-If you’re like me, sometimes you hesitate to bring up Jesus or faith or whatever because you know your audience might have questions for you that you don’t know how to answer. Well, you know the answer, but you don’t know how to say it, exactly. In this post, John Piper deals with a question about suffering in a very succinct way that could easily be translated into your everyday conversations.
5 Reasons to be Silent-I definitely struggle with talking too much. And, Ann at Holy Experience recently went on a silent retreat. She tells of some of things God taught her during that time and then lays out 5 incredible reasons to be quiet more often. I’m so challenged by these thoughts and praying God will enable me to shut my mouth more often than I open it.
The Importance of the Gospel Community-I want to live in a community like this-full of individuals speaking truth to one another (me included)
