a place for your soul to breathe
May your weekend be filled with perspective as fresh as the late September air. May you find a good book, a thoughtful conversation and may your dishwasher clean your dishes the first time around. And if you don’t have a dishwasher? May you give a hearty eye-roll to those of us who complain about ours. Enjoy your weekend, friends.
There isn’t one great thing you were made to do. There's one great God you were made to glorify. When you embrace the unique shape of your soul and live as the person you most fully are, art comes out. (Coming Nov. 2013)
My first book encourages tired women to let go of the try-hard life. Instead of trying to grab on to grace, what would it mean to let grace grab on to you?
Written especially for teen girls encouraging them to give up on perfect and instead trust the One who is.
hahaha! That’s exactly what I was thinking, as my husband and I don’t have a dishwasher
have a blessed weekend!

The comment about the dishwasher made me laugh. Ours broke a few months back, and I decided it was good for me to suck it up and hand-wash dishes for my family of five until we could replace it. I kept hearing a conversation I would have as a kid, standing at the sink complaining when I had to wash dishes for my family of NINE!
Me: “WE NEED A DISHWASHER!!!”
Mom/Dad: “We do have a dishwasher…it’s YOU.”
heh, very funny.
Anyway, I vowed not to complain–and now I have my new dishwasher, which cleans beautifully and quietly…the first time. Amen.

I love your weekend posts! Thank you so much!
Oooh, Emily, are you reading Kate Morton’s “The Distant Hours”? You got me reading “The House at Riverton,” which I loved (thanks for the recommendation!), which then got me reading her other books too. What do you think about “The Distant Hours”?
I bought The Distant Hours at Goodwill last week. I can’t wait to dive in!

We bought a Bosch on deep discount and it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen! Can’t tell it’s running unless you open the door to check! Only had 1-2 still dirty dishes in the year and a half we’ve owned it. (I’m sure it was something legit as I don’t rinse and leave them in there till its full. A.maz.ing. Getting some knitting done n snuggling with hubby. Perfect.

the dishwasher part made me smile… for 15 yrs. of marriage i didn’t have one, and complained!
now.. we have one. and yes, i COMPLAIN!! cause it doesn’t clean them well. :/
that old saying, “the grass is always greener,” comes to mind.” except of course, when you use paper plates!!! : )
cause being able to THROW your dishes away, well it just doesn’t get any greener…
unless, they come up with the equivalent of paper plates in clothes~
can you imagine how that would cut our laundry time!!! ; )
happy sunday, emily!
