Hello, friends!✨
As per usual with my writing this year, I’m a bit later in getting this out, but…here it is. This June was a joy to revisit.🫶🏼
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
Frances Ridley Havergal
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take my self and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

What I’ve been reading…
A New Song – Jan Karon
Back to good old Mitford! This series is a comfort read for me.
The Words We Lost – Nicole Deese
One of my dear friends started a book club, and we’re reading through this one! I’ve really been enjoying this reread…Nicole Deese has such a lovely way of wording things.
Without a Trace – Colleen Coble
I found the plot intriguing and some of the characters endearing…the writing itself not so much.
The Gray Poet – Caitlin Miller
This is a short story, and Caitlin doesn’t waste a single word. This was a beautifully written and powerful read…plus it’s free for her newsletter subscribers!
The secret of joy is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.
Elisabeth Elliot
From the journal…
I think of how I have come to recognize the voices of singers…by repeated listening. May I repeatedly listen to and choose Your song, O Lord!
Don’t let me despise the small, weighty quietness of this season.
Deepen my trust in and remembrance of Your goodness and mercy, for they do pursue me each and every day of my life. I have exchanged vows with You that extend infinitely beyond the veil of death, and have covenanted with the God-Man whose Word has never returned void.
My deepest vocation is to be a witness to the glimpses of God I have been allowed to catch.
Henri Nouwen
What made your June memorable?
