“Praying for deliverance from fear is a crucial step for spiritual perfectionists. But before we can see freedom, we must recognize we are bound. That’s often a harder step. Fear is a sneaky demon; it wears many disguises. And sometimes the religious voices we turn to for clarity and support only make us feel more afraid, embarrassed, and alone.” — Colleen Carroll Campbell The Heart of Perfection 📖❤️😳 This book is, not surprisingly, slaying me. It’s forcing me to think deeply, in a way I both appreciate and fear. 🔹 #thewayofperfection #colleencarrollcampbell #catholicbookstagram #readingwithaview #horseview #bookview #summerreading

Sometimes, the big deal is that there is no big deal. Also, a four-lead clover (and don’t you dare tell him it’s not because he was SO PROUD OF IT). #boymom #lifewithkids #summerbreak #thingsinouryard #alongwithdandelions #andthisistotallyhowinfluencersgram
The #bookview with one of my current reads. A cover in barn red is never wrong. (Do not attempt to correct me on the color. We have the can of paint that anointed our table. Clearly, this lovely book matches. And this makes me happy, even as my confession to you is that I did not love Confessions my first time through. It keeps bugging me though, showing up and almost #saintstalking. So here I am. Here it is.)
