31 Days of Love & Hate :: Day 26 ~ Random Love

October 26, 2013 By Caroline TeSelle

love these two! Myquillyn & Angela

 

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Greenville, SC at the Allume Conference & it’s 12 hours before this post goes live & I have absolutely nothing written for Day 26.  Those of you that have stuck with us this long?  Thank you!  Greg and I have really enjoyed sharing with you this month.  I had planned to write about a few recipes that Greg & I love but since I am not at home & have no pictures to share of those yummy meals, I’ll save that post for another day.

I decided to write another Random Love post & ask a few of my friends that are hanging out in my hotel room things that they randomly love.  In a completely random and spontaneous order, here ya go:

really big rings
candles that smell like fall
big expansive sky
a single tree
fireworks with music to them
the smell of grapefruit
rosemary mint shampoo from Aveda
a hot shower then hopping in a cozy bed, with cozy pjs, hot tea & a good book!
dark chocolate {especially fair trade chocolate}

Since I’m here at the conference, I thought I would share a few quotes that I love that I’ve heard since the conference started last night:

“When the world strives – the wise still.”  Ann Voskamp

“Do not despise the days of small beginnings.” Melanie Shankle

“Your writing is your living room.” Sarah Markley

“Jesus has promised to give us something far more wonderful & terrifying than prosperity.” Edie Wadsworth

“Get ‘outside’ your blog. Be a blog reader & supporter.  Life is always more fun in community.”  Ryan & Emily Jones

“Informed people are cooperative people.” Chad & Myquillyn Smith

“The story is the living proof of an idea.  It convinces us of what we do believe in.” Phil Vischer

“Art is your soul outside your body.” Erika Morrison

“Where else is Jesus on this earth if not through you & me?” Emily Freeman

p.s. A shout out to Stacey for the quote love idea! {wink!}

Also, I love these two friends who I just happen to have the opportunity to be their Ad Manager for their individual websites.  Something about them that I know for sure ~ they are just as genuine in real life as they are online {with a side of hilarity!} Love you Myquillyn & Tsh!

You are the joy that was set before him. ⁣

Jesus endured the cross for us and considered it joy. ⁣
⁣
How can we experience true joy? Joy that outlasts the turmoil of 2020? Joy that surpasses all understanding? Joy that isn’t stolen by a diagnosis? One answer: Jesus. ⁣
⁣
May your true joy be made more complete this Christmas by remembering what Jesus has done for you.

Four days ago, I quoted the comforting words of @s Four days ago, I quoted the comforting words of @shellymillerwriter as I was contemplating the past three weeks of healing for Eden’s hip surgery. ⁣

Shelly passed away on Sunday night. Please click over to her profile and read her husband’s words about her passing...“As we grieve, we do so with hope.”⁣
⁣
Today, as I drive northwest to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for another round of follow-up appointments, Shelly’s words continue to be a balm to my soul...⁣
⁣
“When all the ways in which we find our identity have been stripped away, we stand like barren branches in a posture of surrender awaiting God’s next move.⁣
⁣
“Our purpose is to glorify God, not by doing more for him but simply being with him; trusting God rather than trusting in circumstances lining up.⁣
⁣
“Our greatest certainty in life is God’s presence and help.”⁣
⁣
I’m clinging to that certainty today. Thank you, Shelly. Rest well.
“It is when we are at rest that we hear the voic “It is when we are at rest that we hear the voice of God echoing over our worry.” @shellymillerwriter⁣
⁣
The echoes of God have been loud and clear during the past three weeks since Eden’s surgery. The echoes of prayers. The echoes of friendship. The echoes of healing. Worry has not held a place here and we are extremely thankful. 💛
