Thank you for joining me for Sunday Afternoon Pause. You're invited to find a quiet place to be renewed and refreshed and to spend time in His presence. Few things nourish us more than time set apart to follow the thoughts of our hearts.
It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is at the end of the journey, He is also at every stopping place.

Summer Travels For Your Faith
While traveling and planning your summer remember what your thirsty soul really needs, refreshment from the deep well of His Word. Scripture will be the compass to navigate your summer. I don't know a better roadmap than what can be found in the Bible. So let’s dive in and soak up as much of Him as we can!

Mixing Bowl: Recipes! Berries & Chocolate Cake
A party or gathering is an opportunity to give. It is an offering, an act of creativity.
- Linda T.
It had been so long since we gathered that it was a delight to receive an invitation to our Summer Neighborhood BBQ. Mike and Sally have been hosting for years and continue to go the extra mile in hospitality. We were delighted to move to this neighborhood 5 years ago. It is one of warmth and caring, where everyone waves hello and lingers in their front yards to visit.
Here's what I made for the bbq, it would be perfect to make as you celebrate America's birthday. Can't wait for you to try it! Click here for my Berries & Chocolate Cake.

I have 2 book recommendations, for you, my armchair readers - no gas required! They will help you navigate uncharted waters and the open roads.
Prayer the Great Adventure by David Jeremiah. "From the beginning of the Bible to its conclusion, we see absolute evidence that God answers prayer."
Bend in the Road by David Jeremiah, "When we feel we’re at one of life’s dead ends, these are only bends in the road, disruptive moments sent to develop our faith and to prove God’s faithfulness."
The scenery is nice... but it's the company that matters. As you embark on the greatest adventure of your life may you know His companionship.
- David Jeremiah
May this summer be filled with inspiring experiences.
Thank you for taking this journey with me.
From my house to yours, Linda
Thank you so much my friend, neighbor and sister in the Lord. You always bring my wandering heart back to solid ground. As we prepare for our big adventure ahead I will hold all the things you've written about close inside. My prayer as we travel will be that I carry a little boldness with me and to be able to share the love of God along the way. Folks who will read my comments must know that I have been delighted twice with Linda's cake and it's dreamy good!!
