Steps (ok...leaps) of faith

Reader,

I've recently had the privilege of sharing the story behind my book, The Pursuit of Holy Leisure, at a couple of women's events.

I'm kinda an introvert, and standing in front of a crowd was something I never thought I'd do.

But God made a way, and I said, "Yes!"

In today's post, I'm sharing a brief summary and the full audio file for my talk, "The One Thing Necessary."

I hope you'll listen and consider what your "one thing" is, and how the pursuit of holy leisure positions you to REST in Christ.

I'm also taking another step of faith and making myself available for speaking opportunities. If you're planning a women's event, retreat, or gathering and think I might be a good fit, let's have a conversation.

My prayer is that this message will help you find REST in Christ,

Cara

They say a diamond is forever 💍

Let their adventure begin 💍 Reader, There's something especially sweet about new love, isn't there? All the anticipation and excitement of forging a new life together seem to be bottled up in one life-changing question. "Will you marry me?"

Beautiful Writing and the Pull Toward God

This will change the way you see beauty 🌹

Have you been late in loving beauty? Reader, That might seem like an odd question, especially since our culture is obsessed with beauty. Beauty stops us, and sells us. But there's a world of difference between noticing beauty and seeing God in beauty. When Augustine connected his love of beauty to God, he proclaimed of his discovery, "Late have I loved you, Beauty so old and so new: late have I loved you." He had admired beauty his whole life, but he was late in truly seeing it. Once he...

When Life Gets Busy, Keep Abiding

When Life Gets Busy, Keep Abiding Reader, Do you ever say to yourself, "I'll read my Bible, after I ____ (fill in the blank)."

Before you know it, those good intentions are lost to an endless list of to-dos and interruptions. I've often wondered if Martha had similar intentions. Maybe she had planned to sit at Jesus' feet, but...
