The Saturday Six

One.
I talk about Ivanhoe's ALL THE TIME on here, and some of you have asked me what it is...if it's a chain...what to get if you go...all that kind of stuff. Well, fortunately for all of us, the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel recently ran an article on them, so check it out! Fifty years of goodness wrapped up in this family owned operation!

Two.
Just learned about this website this week...which is actually inspired by a new book coming out! It's a site where you can share the story of your wedding dress, how you found it, what it meant to you, and even pictures from your wedding day! It's like the TV shows without the drama!

Three.
Can't get enough of Fixer Upper even in the off season. LOVED this Q and A with JoJo! Especially loved the question about whether or not the homeowners keep all the furniture!

Four.
Oh....how I struggle to sit quietly and listen! I should have known, when I wasn't so great at it way back in Kindergarten, that it would be a lifelong struggle in every facet. Appreciated Holley Gerth's words here.

Five.


You know how it is when you read an article about rest and listening, and then the very NEXT one you find is also about rest and sitting still...and even through the thick skull you've been accused of having, you realize God MIGHT be trying to teach you something? Pretty much what I felt when after reading Holley's post above...I read this gem by Andrea Lucado.

Six.
I've talked to a few of you this week who are in a HARD season of waiting. Oh man. Waiting is not something I excel in at all...and while I'm in some waiting periods of my own, they're not life-rocking for me right now, like they are for some of you. But my own times with that, like waiting for a  husband or waiting for that house to sell a few months ago...remind me that waiting is just entirely exhausting. This article is about waiting for a husband, and I know for many of you who read here, that's the struggle of your own heart. If that's you...read!!! But even if your wait is for something else entirely, this article is a great reminder of what God does IN us in seasons of waiting!

Is that the place that you get the Strawberry Shortcake from? (Is it sad I remember your food??) If so I may have to make a little road trip! google maps has it under 2 hours from my house!!
