Happy Friday friends! Not only is it Friday but the first day of August. Oh boy is this year trucking along fast. Around these parts, I like to share a few favorite finds and then invite you to link up your favorite reads or writes for the week.
The winds of change or sudden loss can propel us into desolate places, which is not our favorite place to camp out. However, LaVonne, does a wonderful job of taking Matthew 14 in A Desolate Place and calling one’s eyes to look the four C’s when we find ourselves in the desolate place.
It’s no surprise I have some weary days as I’m sure most of you have, right? Then this week I come across Amy’s If You Are Weary of Doing Good and it’s just the reminder I need to get back in the saddle again.
Every time I stop by Jennifer’s place it’s like stepping into a land ablaze with the most wondrous colors and words that seep deep into your soul. The reflections she shares on rest in Tripping the Light Fantastic are beautiful.
I liked the Observant Nomad’s view of using fear as tool in With or Without Fear
It teaches us lessons, allows us to make good decisions, and let’s us know when it’s time to revaluate our current plan. But living with fear is not the same thing as letting fear live with you. – Observant Nomad
In my excitement to get away and enjoy some R & R time, I let all things slip right out my mind like sharing about my guest post, For Moments Life Feels Slippery, for Women Walking with Jesus yesterday.
Join The Friday Five Fellowship
Hi Wanda!
Thank you, for the new site links! August is here and I haven’t achieved all that I had planned, but that’s okay. I’m enjoying just being with my Father and drawing closer to Him, daily. Take care and much joy!
Hi Cynthia, that’s what we need to learn to do more of enjoy the Father. Have a wonderful weekend.
I’m particularly intrigued by the post from Observant Nomad – going to hop over and read it now!
Hope you’re doing well, Wanda!
GOD BLESS!
Hi Sharon, hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend.
I was so happy to see your post, Wanda! Five new reads for me this morning!!! Going to grab my second cup of coffee & sit here for a bit. Have a blessed Saturday!
Hi Joanne, Happy reading my dear. It’s been awhile since I shared some reads.
Hey there Wanda….thanks for sharing my post! All of the other links look so good. I’m hoping to do some reading here and then get some writing done this morning so that I can add to your link up! God bless!
You’re welcome Amy. I actually read it last week but didn’t get my Friday Five post together. Nevertheless, it was a great little kick in the pants I needed. Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh I will have to stop by and read those posts! Good stuff!
Happy Reading Barbie! Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks for the buffet you always spread;

And thank you for those kind words:)

Ahh thanks Jennifer!
Thank you, Wanda; and I pray you have a blessed week. I am finding “with or without fear” very relevant.
You’re welcome LaVonne. I’ve been enjoying a much needed vacation, which will be wrapping up soon.
Missed your wisdom, sister. What a heart. We need more like you, my friend.
Hi Wanda,
It’s been a crazy week. Hope to get over and read Amy’s piece. It fits where I’m at right now. Thank you for all of the links and excerpts you posted for each one.
Blessings,
Janis
I totally understand about the craziness a week can bring Janis. Hope your Monday is off to a better start. Happy reading!
