Share Four Somethings-July 2022

Where has July gone??? Each month seems to fly by faster!! Welcome back to share four somethings, a monthly link-up hosted by Heather Gerwing (thank you Heather!) where you literally share four somethings on the fourth Saturday of the month. The categories are Something Loved, Something Gleaned, Something Braved (or saved), and Something Achieved. Even if you do not participate in the link-up, I would love to hear your four somethings from the last month.

 Something Loved

I love the blogging community! A while back, Kimmie from travelerswife4life, offered to send me Undistracted by Bob Goff. I hemmed and hawed a little bit from this unexpected gift and felt bad about receiving it, so made sure she was sure about her offer, she was! I got the box on Monday with ALL of these lovely books (plus 2 not shown that I already had!). It was such a sweet gesture and totally made my week! Plus, Tuesday was my birthday, so it really did feel like an expected gift!

 Something Gleaned

This month I read Everybody Always by Bob Goff. This book was/is AMAZING!!! Here are a few things that spoke to me:

Love isn't something we fall into; love is someone we become.

We're supposed to love the people in front of us. We're the ones who tell them who they are. We don't need to spend as much time as we do telling people what we think about what they're doing. Loving people doesn't mean we need to control their conduct. There's a big difference between the two. Loving people means caring without an agenda.

It's this simple: I want people to meet you and me and feel like they've just met everyone in heaven.

Sometimes we make loving people a lot more complicated than Jesus did.

I could go on but I recommend you read the book for yourself and find the things that speak to you!

Something Braved or Saved

I can't think of anything to share for this category this month 🤷

Something Achieved

I made a list of wishes/dreams for my birthday that was this month. You can see it here, if you are interested. One of the things that I decided to "wish" for was to learn to crochet. I have wanted to learn for years. I tried a few years ago and it didn't go well, so I quit. I went out on my birthday (July 19) and bought a few things of yarn, some crochet hooks, and sat down with YouTube in front of me, and I started to learn to crochet. I have finished two coasters (that's what I am calling them because of the size 😉), but it is something. They are not perfect, but I am learning the beginning steps of crochet.

I also posted a few posts from our trip! I hope to finish the posts this week...we'll see, LOL. Click on the title if you are interested in reading about them:

So, what about you? What is something that you have loved in this month? Something you have gleaned? Something achieved and something brave? I would love to hear from you!
