The Friends We Keep

Here's another book I got to read...

It is called the Friends We Keep by Sarah Zacharias Davis.

Sarah Zacharias Davis is the vice president of marketing and development for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, having joined the ministry after working in strategic marketing for CNN. The daughter of best-selling writer Ravi Zacharias, Davis is the author of the critically-acclaimed Confessions from an Honest Wife and Transparent. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia.


In all honesty I wasn't too sure about this book, I looked at the cover and thought, oh boy, a boring book here we come. But let me tell you, don't judge a book by its cover! (Have you ever heard that before?)

Davis talks about the different kinds of friends we have. We have friends that we go shopping with, others that we can really talk to, others that just need us to listen and keep our mouths shut, friends that are our kids friends and so we just tolerate them, etc... I never really thought about it that way.

Page 4 "For woman, the connection to friendship is innate and essential. It feels so vital to living that the desire for it seems part of our fabric being." Why is that? Davis does a wonderful job of explaining this and many other questions like "Do we need friends like we need air or food or water? Why do some friends last forever and others only a season?" And many more like these... In the process she delivers wisdom for navigating the challenges, mysteries, and delights of friendship. It also includes a discussion guide. I think this would be a GREAT book to read and have other mom's/ladies read it and use the discussion guide during a mom's group while your little munchkins are playing, or for the ladies who can't go to a mom's group, during coffee or tea.

I don't want to write anymore, you just have to get the book at Randomhouse.com or go to your local Family Christian Stores. This is truly an awesome book and I HIGHLY recommend it!! But before you go and by it, put a comment on here or FB or email me, and I will pick a name out on Aug 20th! Then if I don't pick your name, go buy it! :O)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
