RESCHEDULED: date TBD. I’m so sorry to reschedule my dear friends, but this month has been so hectic for us, between Easter, the baby shower, travels, and birth classes. I had hoped to still squeeze in my reading, but got more worn out than I expected (yay third trimester haha!) I hesitated to reschedule, but I cannot do the book justice if I were to present the book study for it right now. I would love to plan on doing this book in May, but of course am not sure when exactly baby will arrive. I’ll take a poll on my Instagram story to see if you’d rather I wait and schedule a live after having the baby, or if you’d rather I just post a video whenever I’m up to it, and we can chat in the comments section.

Hello, friends!
As we continue to dive into Carmelite spirituality and the lives and writings of Carmelite saints, our next read is this gem, 'I Believe in Love'! I am not kidding that I have half this book underlined or highlighted - it's THAT good!
With chapters on confidence, abandonment to God, peace, charity, and so many other topics, this book is a moving and beautiful read for every soul that seeks to deepen their relationship with God.
