Downloaded the 7-Day Challenge on John 15:1-13 and look forward to learning from you, Michele--just as soon as our Women's Bible Study of Acts 1-12 wraps up at church in a few weeks. That Ann Voskamp book you recommended also intrigues me; I recorded the title on my TBR list. So glad that opportunities are opening up for you to minister to women in person--and that you're making good progress on your knitting project. Won't the grands look cute all wearing their Christmas mittens!
Love the gardening analogy! I am cleaning mine out right now and am always thankful that the Lord gave me the love of dirt between my fingers. Praying for a growing greedy faith is a morning ritual and God has not failed to answer me in the positive! It is just one of the ways we can stay focused.. He will not refuse that particular cry of the heart.
I love the way you're presenting your book reviews here, Michele. Beautifully done and certainly eye-catching. Sometimes all we need is a brief glimpse to know that book is calling our name.
Michele, I had not heard that Wendell Barry quote before. So much truth there and in your words. I also welcome seeing name in my inbox.
Wendell Berry’s fictional characters are beautifully drawn and some of them are so wise that I wish I could meet them in real life!😊
"If we don’t begin somewhere, we’ll never see growth." Yes!
I'm sure you run into this all the time with your art.
We just have to take one step in God's direction, and he meets us with so much generosity.
I always appreciate your thoughtful posts, Michele, and your "Book Briefs" are so beautifully done. Cheering you on as we move into November.
Oh, Maggie, you are such a cheerleader. Thank you for seeing and saying goodness.

Thank you for letting me know. I feel so blessed to teach AND learn from my online friends.

Love the term “growing greedy faith!" And I am sure that the prayer brings a smile to God’s face!

Exactly! And I hope readers realize (maybe I should tell them 😜) that they can always read a more detailed review on the blog.
Thank you, Michele!
Thank YOU!
And how is everything going with your book?
Well, thank you - and interesting. I've met wonderful people, who share their stories with me! Encouragement in faith both ways.
