Mrs. Elliot

A few posts ago I shared this quote: "God never does anything to us that isn't for us." (Elisabeth Elliot)  It is from her book "Be Still, My Sou" that my sister got for her birthday.  Is there a reason for this post?  Nope.  I just wanted to share some inspiring quotes from an inspiring lady. :-)

This woman is one of many whom I greatly admire and esteem.










This last quote has to be one of my favorites!

I encourage you to read this and maybe even consider downloading it yourself here. They are great verses and I think it a great idea to memorize His Word.  Random, I know.  But oh, so worth it! :-)

Do you have a favorite Elisabeth Elliot book or quote?  If so, I'd love to know it. :-)

Blessings,
Sarah

    Elisabeth Elliot is the first author I read who discussed courtship versus dating, though she didn't title as such. Rather as a lifestyle committed to honoring God and one another, not defrauding. It is so easy for women to 'run' with thoughts of a man's interest and I appreciated Jim Elliot's commitment (and her's!) to not stir up thoughts or hopes in one another.

    I've read many of her books and haven't found one yet I didn't like, or agree with! She is an excellent role model of godly womanhood, she's suffered, yet continued to give God the glory. Thanks for the exhortation and encouragement to learn more about her.

      Thank you for the sweet comment! I'll never forget my mother encouraging her daughters to read more about EE; read her books and study her life. I can honestly say it's been an amazing journey. :-)

New moth, new verse

It is April (if you already haven't had a chance to take a glance at your calendar)!  This is random, but for some reason when each new moth rolls around I associate it with a color - weird, I know - and this is the list of months typed in the colors that I associate them with: January  February   March  April  May  June  July  August  September  October  November  December I know, it's really weird!  :p Back the post. :-) Part of my new year's resolution was to memorize a verse each month and reflect on it throughout the month. I am on my 4th memory verse of 2014!  :-) How did I decide which verses to memorize?  Well, my parents got my sisters and I a new, beautiful calender at the end of 2013 that was full of Psalm of praise. Each month has a verse, so I thought, "why not just memorize the verse that comes with each month?" That is what I am doing and it proves to be ...

Sunshine Award!

I was tagged in the Sunshine Award by the lovely  Heidi  over at her blog, Along the Brandywire: A Bit of All the Rest. I may sound like a real geek, but I love these kinds of things; the questions, the answers, every thing about them just makes me smile. :-) So, here are my questions and answers. :-) 1. If you could time travel, would you rather visit medieval England or 1800's Paris? I would have to say Paris in the 1800's.  I'd love to just walk around and observe the fashion and buildings. 2. For relaxation: G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, or neither? Well, seeing as how I've never read any of G.K. Chesterton's work, I'm gonna  go with C.S. Lewis.  I think even if I knew who G.K. Chesterton was, I'd still pick C.S. Lewis because he's one of my favorites.  3. Do you enjoy pie baking? Do you have a favorite kind (apple, cherry, etc.)? I love to bake, but I'm actually not a big fan of pies. ...
