Saturday Sips May 2022

Saturday Sips May 2022 is a short recollection of what I’ve learned this month. I’m following a format known as Share Four Somethings, and I hope it inspires your own reflections on what you’ve learned this May.

Something Loved

My oldest son Drake graduated from high school this month. I loved seeing him dress up for prom, and I’m so proud of his choices as a man of integrity. He is going straight into the workforce and plans to own his own custom woodworking shop within 5 years.

These are my favorite photos of the month, and I love his sweet girlfriend Lilly who also graduated with him. I loved every moment of her graduation party with her amazing family.

Something Gleaned

I learned many new truths in my journey of divorce recovery. I learned this lesson from my best friend, which applies in many different situations:

• It’s not that selfish, entitled people don’t SEE the truth – it’s that they choose not to AGREE, because they are heavily invested in their own narratives. So stop trying to make them SEE and go live your own life.

I also shared what I’m learning about forgiveness and reconciliation, which turned into a very popular post:

Something Braved or Saved

I saved some amazing things in my Facebook feed. Here’s a sampling.

I grew up in a liturgical tradition, and this blog post ministered to me.

I ordered this devotional after watching this inspiring video:

Something Achieved

This was a month of big achievements for me.

1. Completed my book edits for Hidden Manna on a Country Road: Seeing God’s Daily Provision All Around Us, to be published in the fall of 2022. Just saw the Amazon listing today, where you can preorder it! So excited to see my own photos on the cover and inside.
2. Finished coaching one client and signed another book launch client. Learn more about my services HERE.
3. Published a devotion for Proverbs 31 Ministries on mean girls, which you can see HERE.
