How does March already feel so far away??
Things worth remembering
- spending time with a cousin
- tacos and fun conversation with friends
- eating “maple foam”
- our first small group meetings!
- making significant progress in Project Redemption
- getting an internship I really wanted
- The Arm-Wrestling Night (if you know, you know)
- getting a box of Clarion Hope copies
- late night sibling talks
- getting posts prepped for the Clarion Hope release

What I’ve been reading
Chasing the White Lion – James R. Hannibal
This is the sequel to The Gryphon Heist, and I really enjoyed it! It did get a little bloodier than I like, but I really loved how the author dug into one character’s backstory…and the banter and suspense from the first book didn’t disappoint in the second!
By My Own Betrayal – Cydnie Trenholm
Okay, I loved this one so much!! The sibling relationships, the disguises, the plot twists, the dangling end that leaves you hungry for the sequel…it was just amazing. Put it on your TBR.
The Butterfly and the Violin – Kristy Cambron
I picked this up without realizing it was a romance (if you’ve been around the blog for a bit, you probably know how I feel about those XD), but it pleasantly surprised me! The storylines were gripping, and the descriptions of the death camp were heart-breaking and thought-provoking. I learned quite a bit from this book.
The goal is not to have unrestrained disclosure in every relationship, but to know at any level of communication that we are not holding back our voice out of fear.

From the journal…
God, thank You for the pain… Thank You for Your gracious “no”s and “not yet”s… Oh, You know best then, God, and You know best now.
Lord, I pray for unity in Your Church… Show us the art of dying on the hills You’ve told us to die on, and the art of being quiet when the hills aren’t big enough.
David refused to offer to the Lord that which would cost him nothing. Help me to have this heart, Father! May I never look for the easy way out…may I pay full price.
God, who am I to tell You how to write my story?
How was your March? Anything remarkable that you learned/read/did?
Stay the course!
