Coffee Mugs and Truth

Coffee Mugs and Truth

I love sipping a hot beverage in a mug. Anytime of day. Anytime of year. But, I do tend to be picky about what I drink and sometimes I have to drink what I'm offered.

In this their first book together, Rachel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams (authors and ministry partners behind the rapidly expanding She Reads Truth ministry), use the analogy of coffee mugs to represent our present circumstances - a new job, financial strain, singleness, miscarriages and so on.

We may not be alone in our burdens, but we feel them pressing down on us just the same.”

Nothing to Prove

On a Spring day in 2017, I had a small package waiting on my doorstep when I got home from work. The previous weekend I had been talking with a friend regarding my over-full calendar and the copious amount of stress I was putting on myself, trying to balance my very hectic life. She told me she was sending a copy of Jennie Allen’s new book Nothing to Prove. I thought, “Did you not hear me say that my calendar is already full? When will I have time to read?”
