A Life in Ruins

As my friends and family, I thought I should let you all know that Jen Hatmaker and Katie Davis are ruining my life.

                It's true.

                              Two little books.

                                               Easy reads.

Kisses from Katie

My life as I know it will never be the same.

Jesus said, "Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." In fact, those words are recorded in three of the four Gospels (Matthew 16:24-28, Mark 8:34-38, and Luke 9:23-27). Perhaps that means they're important.

So yes...Jen & Katie, you're ruining my life. But turns out that life wasn't really worth saving after all. I'm learning more and more that the only life really worth living is the one given in reckless abandon to the One whose plans for me are far greater, more terrifying, and more wonderful than I could ever have imagined.

If you're curious, stay tuned. Details to follow...

    I have Katie's book. I've been contemplating Jen's. Maybe I should take the plunge.
