As some of you know, my precious mama and I are embarking on a new adventure starting this week.
We are moving back to Tennessee after 5 years away! There will be more details to come, but for now we appreciate your prayers for us.
There are tons of details we are finishing up and I find myself in lots of tears often as we say goodbye to a place that is incredibly dear to our hearts.
Thank you for your prayers as we prepare in these final days to move, for our safety as we travel, for our hearts as we return to Tennessee after all of these years away (for the first time) without my precious daddy, and for our transition... thank you for all of your love and support.
Happy Tuesday friends! Today I am so excited to share this Maine travel book guide from Moon Guides! I was so honored to be contacted and asked to contribute a picture/quote and see hold this book in my hand is so very exciting!! (You can find the book HERE!)
I was SHOCKED when I opened the book and found that they had placed the picture and the quote on the inside back cover!!
I have loved exploring different parts of Maine over the years and the articles on Maine have remained some of my all time read posts on the blog (click HERE to find the all!)! I love hearing about trips that have been taken (and those that are being planned) from this beautiful part of the world and love that I have been a small part of that! This book from Moon Guides is full of amazing ideas and already has me preparing for another trip back to Maine very soon!
I know so many of you are missing traveling in this season (ME TOO!). One of the things that I am doing is dreaming and planning future trips with my loved ones and friends and this book is a great place to start! I am so honored to be a little part of it! Thank you again Moon Guides for the honor of being part of your project!! The final project is incredible!
You can find the book where books are sold and on Amazon by clicking HERE! Let me know what you think!
Happy Tuesday! I hope that you have a wonderful day with loved ones!
Thank you so much to Moon Guides again for letting me part of this incredible project!!

Happy Monday friends! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!
I wanted to give an update as Zoey and Preston left yesterday for Germany! I have been in contact with Zoey and we are rejoicing that the first flight was smooth and peaceful! Thank you so much to all of y'all that were praying!

As Zoey and Preston begin this new adventure and season, I am so excited for the people of Kandern, Germany to get to live and do life with these two incredible human beings. Their love for God and others is a courageous inspiration, especially with all that is going on in our world.
If you didn't get to read my original post (click HERE) about how I know Zoey and Preston then you may not understand how grateful I am for these two people. I can personally attest to the beauty and love that they will be bringing to the BFA community and Kandern, as a whole.

I have full confidence that these two and can't even imagine how they will change the course of children's lives, staff members, and the people of Kandern in the coming two years. Thank you so much for partnering with them, for your love and support each year of the different campaigns and fundraising we do here at Caravan Sonnet, and for investing in the lives of people you will never even meet here on earth.
Even though Zoey and Preston are at 100% fundraising for their goal to go to BFA, anyone who has been involved in missions understands that there are still hundreds of expenses that are not part of the fundraising goals. These include travel expenses, food during travel (and before and after), obtaining certain visas/licenses/passport items, storage space, doctors visits and appropriate shots, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. Each of these things add up so I am leaving the Go Fund Me Page Up for another month.
NO donation amount is to small (seriously y'all- EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR is a help!) and it is tax deductible! Please consider donating right now to help us meet our original goal of raising $4000 (click HERE!)
PS- PLEASE share this with everyone you know so that we can spread the word!
THANK YOU AGAIN for helping Zoey and Preston get to 100% of their goal and continuing to pray for them as they begin this new journey!! Please continue to pray for them as they continue to travel to BFA, their first few weeks (which will be in quarantine), and the beginning of their new jobs and adjusting to different time zones and a different country. Thank you again for all of your support for them!!
There are some HUGE changes coming about in the next month (will be sharing more soon, but in the meantime we appreciate prayers!). I have been finding such peace, comfort, and encouragement in the following verses. If you are staring at these next weeks and months as a time of change like we are, I hope they encourage you too...
The people who survived the wars have found favor in the desert. The LORD appeared to me in a faraway place and said, “I love you with an everlasting love. So I will continue to show you my kindness. Once again I will build you up, and you will be rebuilt, my dear people Israel. Once again you will take your tambourines, and you will go dancing with happy people. Once again you will plant...

Happy Wednesday friends! It is hard to believe that we have started the first day of July! The days feel like they are flying by!! Today I am so excited to share my book, movie, and TV review with y'all for June! Before I start though- if you have any suggestions for me for July please let me know! I am constantly looking for new ideas so please pass on your suggestions! A full disclaimer: I definitely chose to go with really easy-reading and non-serious books this month. It was a full month of learning about heavy subjects and dealing with some personal things so I was looking forward to reading "lighter" things in my reading.
Books
{one}Being Known
I have shared so many times here on the blog about my love of Robin Jones Gunn's writings and so when her newest book was released this Spring I was so excited to save up my pennies and read it. I really enjoyed it and it had some things to really think through that I think are so relatable to lots of people (especially if you are married) with the concept of "emotional affairs". I haven't seen another Christian book address this in a tender way like this one did and so I would whole heartedly recommend it.
Similar book recommendations that I have read by Robin Jones Gunn that I would recommend to this book:
This was the first book in the series (but you could read them as stand alone books too) that I have talked about this book SO much on the blog - but it truly was something that I feel was her best book ever written! I took away so many precious nuggets from the story, cried and laughed through it and was completely encouraged. You can find it to purchase HERE.
Also by Robin Jones Gunn, this series (not written in first person *smiles*) is incredibly sweet and encouraging. You can read the books in any order but they do loosely follow and build on each other if you want to read them in order. And guess what? Hallmark is releasing the first book in the series (Secrets) as a Christmas movie this December! I am SO excited!
{two} Finding Stephanie
Years ago I discovered Susan May Warren as a writer and had read her 3 book series, "The Team Hope" collection (you can find it HERE). I found this book (the third in another series that she wrote in 2009 and thought I would try it. Honestly... I was bored. It felt like a bad Hallmark movie and I was bored reading it. I appreciated the message that was being conveyed, but it just didn't hold my attention and felt that the story was incredibly drawn out and dramatic. I hate to say it but I really can't recommend this unless you are looking for a very cheesy book.
{three} Dark Ambitions
Discovering Irene Hannon's books years ago was such a delightful treat. I enjoy her mysteries a lot and over the years there have been different ones that I have thought were really great. They are clean (not graphic) and have great character development along with an interesting story and plot line. I was excited to read her newest one, Dark Ambitions that came out this past year. It was interesting and had a twist that I didn't see coming. I would definitely recommend it.
Another thing that I enjoyed was the way that she brought in characters from one of my other favorite series (Private Justice Series) by her and it felt like you were being reunited with old friends. *smiles* I would definitely recommend this one!

Movies & TV
Life is so busy at the cabin that we haven't watched any TV or Movies this month so I will definitely share more in the coming months! In the meantime we are loving the opportunity to read and talk and hang out!
