That hard thing in your life? You never know how it might actually end up bringing hope and light to others…

Those things that are hard, might be the very things that have a powerful impact on others

I got this little oil lamp in Nazareth and it has been on our mantle ever since I got back home from Israel.

Yesterday, the kids asked if we could please light it. So we did… And I wondered why I had waited until now to do so.

That little tiny light brought so much joy to our hearts. The kids were fascinated with how the oil lamp worked and I was so inspired by remembering the olive press in Nazareth Village.

In Bible times, the oil used in lamps was the third press. The first press was given to God. The second press was used for your household (baking, etc.). And the third press was what was used for the oil in the lamps.

There was so much spiritual significance in this for me. Life is full of things that press in, squeeze, and bruise us. We can feel stressed, frustrated, and broken by these things.

Without the pressing, we would never have oil for lamps. Those things that press in on us, they are part of our story, part of our refining. And the things that crush and overwhelm us can be what God uses to bring light and hope to others.

So today, when you face the hard things that come up, remember that this might be the very thing that is going to be used in a powerful way in someone else’s life.

    
 

5 Things I’m Loving This Week: Doughnuts, Dollar Shave Club, Water Slides, + more!

5 Things I'm Loving This Week

1. Doughnuts

I may have completely forgotten my birthday this past year, but you’d better believe I didn’t forget National Doughnut Day! I may have had, um, 3 to celebrate. Okay, so it was over the course of two days. Does that make it any better? 😉

2. Water Slides

We went to a waterpark and had a blast on the water slides this weekend. Oh my goodness! I felt like a little kid again. You can watch the video I posted here for proof. (Yes, that’s me going down the waterslide and squealing.)

3. This Post on Instagram

A reader shared this post on Instagram from The Alaskan Wife sporting one of our Choose Joy shirts and I just absolutely loved it. Go read it and I bet you’ll be encouraged, too!

4. Freezer Cooking

I can’t believe I fell off the freezer cooking bandwagon for so long. It’s the BEST. THING. EVAH. {Read all about the recipes I made and the kitchen adventures I had last week here.}

5 Things I'm Loving This Week

5. Dollar Shave Club

After a bunch of you highly, highly recommended Dollar Shave Club, I caved and signed up. Mostly because I couldn’t believe how many people raved about it and also because it was only $6/month and I figured that if I don’t like it, I can cancel after a month or two and not be out much out of pocket.

For those who are curious, here’s what came in my first box: 1 razor handle, 4 razor blades, and a shave butter sample. For $6 shipped, I was pretty impressed — especially because the quality of the razor seems pretty good.

I’m going to test it out for the next two months and then plan to write a Completely Honest Review post on my blog of my experience with Dollar Shave Club. Stay tuned!

I did an unboxing video and talked more about it here, if you’re interested.

What are YOU loving right now?
