4-to-Read–November 24

Each week, Everyday Servant links to 4 really great posts from Christian blogs…

4 to read

Some are from well-known writers and blogs…

Others are from blogs you might have missed…

All are posts posts that stir our thoughts and stretch our beliefs…

In this week’s 4-to-Read…

A theme develops… a theme about strength and worry and the condition of our hearts…

  1. Is courage just for big events? Or do we need it for everyday life?
  2. Where can we find the strength to just “keep on keeping on”?
  3. Worries… ever wake up in the middle of the night with a heart full of worry?
  4. How can we rid our hearts of envy?

Read posts from Leah Ness, Ronja Oksanen, Missy Aaker and Rosilind Junkic…

1. Courage…

We all know we need it when we face big events… the sudden medical diagnosis, the job loss, the death of a loved one…

But are those the only times we need courage?

Read Leah Ness’ post…  As with honesty about her own fears and daily need for courage, she explores whether it takes just as much courage to live our everyday lives…

2. Keeping on..

3. Ever have a middle of the night to an attack of the worries?

Missy Aaker says 3 A.M. is the time when her internal alarm clock wakes her to worry about whether God thinks she is good enough…

Read her thoughtful exploration of the trap of perfectionism…

4. One day Rosilind Junkic woke to find her heart filled with envy…

Then she prayed.  She prayed in a way drove the envy out of her heart.
