Give me sweet cider, cozy blankets, white pumpkins, burnt orange leaves, cologne scented candles, SEC football, and bonfires with best friends. I love everything about Autumn season and I have collected a few of my favorite finds for to pick up this month to get you feelin’ the change of seasons.
- First Love (Live) by Kari Jobe– With a new full album releasing October 23rd this three song EP recorded live at The Belonging Co. are masterpiece sneak peek for The Blessing to come. One of my favorites rhythms have been playing these tracks in my office space to keep my heart and mind aligned with one thing JESUS.
2. Dear Reader Book Club hosted by Patience Randle – This year I added a new rhythm to monthly routine, reading along with Patience Randle host of Dear Reader Book Club. In January of 2019 she launched this group that exists online under the hashtag #dearreaderbookclub. Prior to COVID-19 the club had an in person meet up component with monthly gatherings rotating at various local bookstores in Kansas City. As safer option Patience is allowing friends to continue reading together through online discussion via Zoom.
Patience shares her heart for this club on her blog Ink & Fable,
My two favorite #DearReaderbookclub picks have been “Transcendent Kingdom” by Yaa Gyasi and “The Vanishing Half” by Brit Bennett.
