Weekend reading: April 9, 2016

First family ice cream date of 2016.

From Instagram:First family ice cream date of 2016.

This weekend I’m in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains at Winsome, where I’m speaking about moving from perfectionism and fear to authenticity and freedom in our relationships with one another, ourselves, and Christ. I’m not sure if the recordings will be available publicly, but if they are and I don’t make a complete fool of myself, I’ll share it!

As I was getting ready to leave this week, I couldn’t help but wonder how the calendar page that had looked so wide open last fall was suddenly so. very. full. It seems that every one of our kids’ friends has a spring birthday, all of our activities are ending with big celebrations, and—just for fun—we’re preparing our home for new landscaping as well.

Thankfully, the calendar wasn’t full then, and I blocked off this weekend for some time away because I sure need it!

What I’m reading: Bel Canto (P.S.) by Ann Patchett
