Kristin’s Favorites: Books

August 25, 2024August 25, 2024

In the past, I’ve created some posts with some of my favorite items, which you can check out HERE. I’ve had people ask me what I’ve enjoyed reading, products I’ve used, etc., and so I thought I would share some of my favs again!

I wanted to start with some of my favorite books that just so happen to be from the same author, Lysa TerKeurst. She is the president at Proverbs 31 Ministries, but has also walked a difficult road in life. All of these I have owned and/or given away because God has used them to help put some of the pieces of the puzzle of my life together, bringing clarity to some of the trials, both great and small. I feel ANY of these would be an encouragement to ANYONE! Check them out below:

Lessons From A Blankie

It was a typical day in our home. Until the blankies had to get washed. For the past couple weeks, I have been mulling over in my head how I was going to combat the tears, since we had been down this road before. Unfortunately, I came up with no clever solution. So after Mazy’s…

Treasuring Christ + GIVEAWAY!

Have you ever felt like you are just trying to keep your head above water as a mom? Do you ever wonder if what you are doing really matters? Within my “mom circles,” I have heard the book Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full by Gloria Furman mentioned a few times. I had…

Around The Home

We have welcomed some warmer weather to Minnesota this past week! We have been in the 30s the past few days, which has been so wonderful, considering Mazy wants to keep going outside. It is a whole lot more bearable for us all when it’s not so frigid out there. Granted it’s a sloppy mess,…

Solid Rock Mission Trip

Last Monday at 5:00AM, we headed out from Unity CRC in Prinsburg, MN, and drove the 11 hours to Stevensville, Michigan, for the Solid Rock Youth Group Mission Trip. Why our hometown? Because of the short amount of time we have been here and because most organizations need applications in at least by March, we…

Around The Home

Much of this past week was spent preparing for the garage sale that I had with a friend this weekend, but also just enjoying sweet Mazy of course! Did I mention how crazy funny she is these days? Never fails to entertain us! At Open Rock on Monday, Matt taught her to hoola hoop! She…

Grace-Full Goals

I call these “grace”-full goals because I need God’s grace everyday! Continuing thoughts on “Less Is More”… Aimlessly spending money is what you do when you’re confused about your life’s direction. I thnk that is a very insightful thought. When we randomly buy things, there really is no purpose behind the purchase (typically). I think…
