    Yesterday was Telephone Tuesday.  It seems to me that everyday is telephone day since we have them on our person 24/7.  Regardless, we will phone a Friend today on Praying God’s Word Wednesday!

    Our Friend brought me to this verse today:

     

    The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. 

    Proverbs 11:25 NLT

     

    My prayer:

     

     

     

    Replace the pronouns with the appropriate ones for the person (or yourself) that you are praying for.

     

    Praying for you in this.  And don’t forget to share this on social media or with a friend who could benefit.  It would mean so much to me.  And if you don’t want to miss a Praying God’s Word Wednesday, subscribe over on the right hand side of this page.

    So I did a thing.  But before I tell you about it, I want to acknowledge that today is College Colors Day.  So to my fellow Baylor Bears, “fling your green and gold afar”!  And Sic ‘Em.  So ready for our first game tomorrow.  The rest of you can wear your school colors too.

     

    I got to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts.  I listen to Front Porch with the Fitzes every week.  And they asked me to join them!

    This podcasting family features three authors, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Jessica Thompson, and Joel Fitzpatrick.  I was so honored and excited and nervous.  But they were so welcoming and encouraging that they put me right at ease.  Plus I got to talk about Shelby – one of my favorite subjects.

     

    The topic:  Disability and the Church.  Straight talk…this is tough.  I’ve hurt feelings over this post on the topic.  So I prayed up and asked God to give me the words to say that would bring glory to Him and build up His church.  I hope that I have done that here.  The subject is serious but the hosts are a hoot, so I think you’ll enjoy listening.  And please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.  It would really help me for any future podcast opportunities.

     

    Thank you all so much!

    And now for this week’s featured post from the link up.

     

    I loved Joanne Viola’s cure for what ails us in Desperate.  It’s so simple, so heartfelt and yet so difficult at times.  Pretty messy, but that is just like life.  This short read is worth your time.

about me

Lauren Sparks

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here. Read More
