- Mopping Haiti and My Heart is Hot by Jen Hatmaker
Here’s what I want to know? Is it possible to read a Jen Hatmaker post and NOT get teary? Both of these made me want to go to Haiti. Adopt from Haiti. Do something with Haiti. The least we can do is sponsor a child. And in case you doubt sponsoring a child does all that much, check out the second link.

What is the meaning of success? Perhaps it’s not what we think it is.
- Wow by Olivia Ryan
Olivia is a new friend from church and even though this post is a few weeks old, I have to share! Because oh my goodness, is it ever powerful! Especially if you are a woman who has ever or is struggling with infertility OR you believe you deserve something you don’t already have.
Here’s a snippet: “Oh how we long to be ‘happy’! We think we know what will make us happy too…but isn’t it so true that when you get what you want you soon become unsatisfied again?”
Can I get an Amen?
This post goes hand-in-hand with Wednesday’s post, It’s All Extra. God gave us everything on that cross, everything. Yet so often, He chooses to give us beyond everything. Is that not cause for rejoicing? Should we not dance and shout and celebrate this glorious, joy-giving God?

Jen Hatmaker DID. ME. IN.
Every. Single. Time.
I loved Melissa’s post. It was a big chin-grabber for me, too.
Thanks for sharing the great links, Katie! 🙂
Here’s one for the young ladies/newlyweds: http://ruthiedean.com/2012/10/10/how-to-keep-a-guy-in-10-ways/ I first started visiting Ruthie’s blog many months ago as she talked about her trip to China. Since our nieces are from there, naturally that captured my attention. Since then, I’ve come to enjoy her posts about life, love, and faith.
I’m continuing to lift you and your family up in prayer as God works behind the scenes in your lives. 🙂
I loved Mel and Jess’s blogs! Will have to read some of the others. 🙂
