Thanks for sharing your favourites, Bethany! I will need to check some of these out – especially the songs! I loved Laura Story’s first book so I’d like to read I Give Up as well. Thanks for including my post here – I enjoyed writing that one so I’m glad you liked it. Hope you have a happy New Year!
Sorry I missed your comment! I think you’ll love Laura Story’s new book as much as the other! I’m so blessed by your words and wisdom, Lesley! Looking forward to more in this new year. Happy New Year to you too!
I always love your end-of-year post, Bethany! I enjoyed listening to your song list on the treadmill the other day … it’s always interesting to hear what kind of music other people like. I’ve recently discovered Andrew Peterson’s music (where have I been) and have found it really resonates with me too. Thanks for including my post on your list … you have been such a faithful encourager these last several years and I am grateful for your friendship. 🙂
Lois, I’m sorry I missed your comment! You are such a blessing to me, I’m thankful for your words and friendship! So glad to get share in these online spaces 🙂 I only discovered Andrew Peterson in recent years, but wow, so good!! Hope my eclectic mix didn’t wreck your workout haha!
