★★★★★ - A book I loved with strong writing and powerful content. One I'd keep on my bookshelf!
★★★★ - A book that is well-written and interesting or inspiring. Would likely reread.
★★★ - A book that I enjoyed but wouldn't necessarily read again.
★★ - A book I didn't enjoy but had some merit.
★ - A book I truly hated or couldn't finish.

How my recent medical tests brought bad news, but hidden blessings too

It's never a good sign when you get a personal call from your doctor.

“#11 Look for little ways to delight him. Be mindful of those small preferences of his. My husband likes his coffee cup warmed up before pouring. He has a certain way he likes his t-shirts folded (yes, I’m serious). He likes it when we go to bed at the same time. They might be tiny details, but they say something big to him. What about your guy?”

Lisa’s Quotes

“My figurative position of confidence before Him, as a daughter in whom He delighted, was one long exhalation of relief. I didn’t earn this position; I inherited it, and that made my safety all the more secure, no matter His response. The ability He gave me to ask started, first, with Him. From this angle, how could I not ask?”
