2026 Summer Reading Challenge is a Wrap :)!
Congrats! We made it to the end of the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge! Technically you have until August 14th at midnight to read and until Sunday night to leave a comment, but I wanted to get this to you now. As I sat down to work on the list of books I read this summer, I am so proud of us. Thanks to this challenge, I read several books that I would not have read without it; and I’m a bit disappo

“It is tempting to measure how much you have meant to someone by the size of their reaction to your departure, but this reduces relationships to a scorecard. 1 Corinthians 13 is about as clear as you can get when it comes to love and scorekeeping: don’t do it. You matter, others matter; how this is expressed shouldn’t be the gauge of how much.”

“If you’ve lived abroad, I imagine you’d agree with me when I say, what could be more foundational than fostering love in the first month on the field? In my case, it meant a newfound “love” for sharing a home with rats and finding out my apartment’s hot water pipes were broken and I would need to bathe at my teammate’s apartment. I bet you have your own version of “Oh, okay, so this is real life and not the fantasy I imagined.”

“I want a fertile soul. I want to be the kind of person who is able to let roles or locations or seasons of life die so there is space for the new to grow. You’re on this journey too or you probably wouldn’t be reading this. When a transition is looming, part of keeping your soul fertile is awareness. Awareness of the kind of person you want to be. Awareness that it is possible to let certain parts die and plant new ones. Awareness that fertile can look fallow on the surface. Awareness that it is hard to let parts of yourself die, but it is necessary. Awareness that you may need to leave to stay you. Awareness that while a fertile soul may not be the heart cry of the world, it is the heart cry of God. He loves you and cares more about being with you in this journey than where you are going.”

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you.”
