Sometimes, the simple act of naming truths about where we live helps us belong where we are.⁠
⁠
It helps us accept what is—and find the blessings in our belonging place today (even if our feelings struggle to receive the message).
⁠
I belong where the snow likes to visit frequently, but where the sun sees that it doesn't stick around for too long. ⁠
⁠
Where do you belong this January day?⁠

I'm almost done with this book, and I'm SO sad about it. I thought the same thing when I finished author Patti Callahan's book Becoming Mrs. Lewis, too. I adore her writing style and the way she unfolds a story.⁠ 💯
⁠
If you're looking to get lost in a dang good novel that's a cozy winter read to boot, then this is your book. And if you have an affinity for The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe and would relish a behind-the-scenes peek at how C.S. Lewis shaped that story, you'll love Once Upon a Wardrobe all the more.⁠
⁠
As a bonus, this book takes place in the winter, and I'm always a fan of reading books during the season in which they take place.⁠ ❄️
⁠
🤓Finally, what are you reading these days (fiction or otherwise)? You always give me the BEST🥇book recommends, and I'd love to know what story you've read recently(ish) that you were also sad to finish!⁠

I used to believe that unanticipated change was the obstacle in the middle of the road that put the kibosh on my contentment and happiness. ⁠If it surprised me, maybe it surprised God, too, and He was just shrugging His shoulders about the whole thing and saying, "Well, isn't this a bummer of a complication." ⁠
⁠
But God isn't working around the change, He's in the change.⁠ May we feel and know His love and care through the change rather than in spite of it.⁠
⁠
"Careful! I’ve put a huge stone on the road to Mount Zion,⁠
a stone you can’t get around.⁠
But the stone is me! If you’re looking for me,⁠
you’ll find me on the way, not in the way." (Romans 9:33 the Message)⁠
