Saturday Evening Blog Post with Elizabeth Esther

Please visit Elizabeth Esther for a unique gathering of bloggers! This month she invites you to link your most poignant, your favorite, or most thought-provoking articles from January and December on her website. I've chosen The Secret Life of Grief from January and a fresh look at John the Baptist, Emmanuel, from December. A close third would have been When Parental Obedience Brings Rejection. I look forward to reading yours!

Saturday Evening Blog Post

Visit Elizabeth Esther's blog for a weekend-ful of reading material! Be sure to choose a post of your own from October and link, too. :-) I've chosen The Alluring God (although I almost chose I Love Homeschooling, Quiverfull Families! because it covers a topic very important to me).

May your weekend bring lovely surprises of grace, and much joy. 

Saturday Evening Blog Post with Elizabeth Esther

Join us over at Elizabeth Esther's place for a gathering of friends, linky-links, and writers sharing what was on their hearts this past September. I submitted my post about perfectionism and holiness titled "Grace With a Floppy Face." What would you like to share?

It's Saturday Evening Blogpost Time!

I've met some awesome bloggers through Elizabeth Esther's monthly Saturday Evening Blogpost...and I think you will too! Find a favorite post you wrote in August, link it in her linky box and leave a comment, then create a post at your own site inviting readers to join, too! I am revisiting my post "Counterfeit Patriarchy" and hope that it bless you...
 

And don't forget, my own linky box is still open if you'd like to participate in our Journey to Grace. Have a lovely weekend, friends!!

SEBP at Elizabeth's!

Ready for some new friends and fascinating reading? Check out Elizabeth Esther's blog for her monthly Saturday Evening Blog Post ~ a plethora of links and new blog friends! You can participate too! Find your best, most inspirational, important, helpful, funny, interesting or simply your favorite post from last month and add it to her MrLinky list. Then compose a post at your own site linking back to it. I am highlighting February's archives at QD with my article, "Facing Abuse in the Christian Family." While we know our parents did their best and meant well while raising us, what do we do about our scars? Our broken hearts? Our pain?

Saturday Evening Blog Post

Join Elizabeth Esther for a new edition of the Saturday Evening Blog Post! Highlight your favorite / most interesting / inspired / thought-provoking post from the month of January by inserting its direct link into her list, then compose a post about it at your own site. This is a great way to meet new friends, be challenged, encouraged, or refreshed.

    Although it's recent, I chose White-Washed Idolatry because it is so prevalent within fundamentalist groups. I can't wait to see what you think! Back on Monday to share a review of Mary DeMuth's memoir, "Thin Places"  and tell you how to win a copy of your own. You won't want to miss it!
    Have a beautiful weekend!

Saturday Evening Blog Post | "Best of 2009"

I hope your fingers are curled around a fresh mug of steaming Sumatra because you are in for a treat! Elizabeth Esther, who hosts The Saturday Evening Blog Post on the first Saturday of every month, has graciously invited her readers to choose their favorite blog post from 2009 and submit it to her virtual party! Please visit her blog "Kids, Twins, and Laundry Bins" for an enormous bouquet of inspirational reading from this past year, and enter a beloved post of your own!

I chose "The Myth of Normal."  Many times when we discuss Quiverfull issues or fundamentalism, we think of those who wear dresses only, or headcoverings, or those who never go to college, or who live on a farm. Of course sometimes these apply, but what about those of us who look more mainstream? Those of us not raised as extreme as the ones we hear about? We face many of the same grave emotional and spiritual issues, but don't know why, and feel guilty because "we don't have it as bad as she does." If this sounds familiar, I hope this post encourages you. You might also like: "The Curse of Eve: When Free Will Isn't Free."

A Virtual Party with Elizabeth!

Are you lonely for new friends, inspirational reading, and encouragement? Once again Elizabeth Esther is hosting her Saturday Evening Blog Post. (And yes, it is Sunday as I write this. I am woefully behind ~ and WHERE oh where has November gone?!!?) Please visit her virtual home to share a link from your own November archives, meet new kindred spirits, challenge your thinking, and become uplifted by others making their way along the path of life. I chose to link my Praise post because it is so important to remember the good things, the lovely things, the things worthy of praise, and to give thanks for all. Have a lovely weekend!! :-)

Saturday Evening Blog Post

Join us once more for a gathering at Elizabeth Esther's! Link a blogpost of yours from October in her little McLinky and then write a new post and link to her blog, explaining why you chose the article you selected.

I am choosing to refresh the subject of Bounded Choice. It is a powerful tactic of control used by many within family, church, and culture ~ and we need to be aware of its forms and effects.

Enjoy making new blogger-friends and reading thought-provoking, inspiring material!

Saturday Evening Blog Post at Elizabeth Esther's!

Need inspiration? Hop over to Elizabeth Esther's blog "Kids, Twins, and Laundry Bins" for a wealth of lovely links. I chose to highlight my recent post "Quiverfull Daughters—Little Mothers, Little Sisters" since I am planning a short series on the topic—and I added a poignant bit from my journal as a young teenager to illustrate the feelings of stress and exhaustion inherent on daughters within a Quiverfull family. Check it out!

Elizabeth is a wife, mother, and author with a spunky sense of humor and lots of energy. You will love her!
