It’s been awhile since I have shared a few lovely favorite Friday finds. This week I stumbled across these great reads.
Don’t Miss the Wonder {By Being Wrapped in Self} …is it surprising that I would be struck by a post on wonder? I want to be more open to seeing all the wonder around me every day.
YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY
WE FEEL THAT WE DESERVE TO BE HAPPY WHEN WHAT WE REALLY DESERVE IS THE FLAMES OF HELL. – Courtney Kirkland
Have you heard of faith journaling? I love these beautiful illustrations done by Kristin on Why Illustrate My Faith.
I don’t know about you but I have got too much clutter in my life so Sam’s 6 Way’s To De-Clutter Your Life & Breathe Again resonated with me. Especially like that it covers more than just physical clutter but financial, health, technology, and mental.

And I just love the wise advice about how to follow your passion might not be the wisest advice because there isn’t always light bulb moments in life.
So don’t ignore that gentle tug in favor of fretting over how to “follow your passion.” Stop trying to force that if it’s not obvious to you. Instead, get up, move, learn, and explore. –Kali Hawk
Happy Reading friends!
Hello Wanda! These are great~ I am in creative mode right now, but as I go I have two bags full-to take to the thrift shop-they donate to a children’s hospital and a bag for the Veterans Assoc. Clutter adds up quickly~ I will go look at these Fabulous
Friday posts-thank you, so much for sharing. I hope you have a lovely weekend!
You always inspire me-thank you!
Ella I can’t begin to imagine what all your creative genius mind is whipping up these days. You have such a knack for using ordinary things in unique ways. Enjoy your weekend.
Hi Wanda,
I’m always on the prowl on my home, de-cluttering nooks, crannies, closets, shelves…. It is amazing how much STUFF we acquire in short periods of time. Joy to you~
Cynthia, I need to do some weeding through all the stuff around my place. It seems like the older I get the harder it is to let things go for some reason.
Looks like some great reads! Thanks for sharing, Wanda. 🙂
Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend Cheryl!
I have always loved your Friday Finds, Wanda! Glad you have brought this ministry back to us. It is good to find blogs and sites I hadn’t come across before. Thanks!
Ahh thanks, Pam. I appreciate your kind words.
I’m entering a new phase of this life journey – and I don’t know what it will look like or feel like – and I’ve learned not to trust my “expectations” but instead take one faith-step at a time, living intentionally in that step – and letting God be in charge of the reveal. The line by Hawk, ” Stop trying to force that if it’s not obvious to you. ” – that resonated with me – right where I am! Thank you Wanda for this encouraging post! Shalom, friend!

It’s so much more freeing when we can rest in God trusting that He will direct our steps as needed, Maryleigh. So glad that you found one that resonated with you.
Thank you for bringing them back, Wanda. I often find myself reading blogs from others and being left with a deeper sense of gratitude and hopefulness. I pray you have a thanksgiving week filled with an abundance of God’s goodness.
Hope you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving as well LaVonne. I hope you know that I’m thankful your presence albeit online in my life. Many blessings to you.
Awesome reads Wanda! I especially am intrigued by art journaling and stumbled upon Kristin’s site a few weeks ago!
I remember reading your posts about you doing some art journaling of your own Barbie. When I stumbled upon Kristin’s post it was the first I had heard of it.
