Coffee Shop Chats: Interactive Reflection of the Week!

Pin This!

About Coffee Shop Chats:

I love blogging, but sometimes I wish there was a way that I could connect with each of you. Personally. Perhaps over a cup of coffee. 

We could share the highlights of our week, discuss the books we've been reading, what God is doing in our lives, and even share any prayer requests we may have. 

So, I came up with the idea of Coffee Shop Chats.

Instead of my Currently posts, I now post this reflection of the week (or month, or season). You are welcome to participate as well! I want this to be a way to learn more about each of you and how I can pray for you. Maybe this will help you meet other blogger friends as well. =) 

You may post your Coffee Shop Chat whenever you'd like! Just be sure to add your link to the latest Coffee Shop Chat link-up at the end of this post. (That way, we can all interact with one another.)

Rules & Guidelines:

1. No, you don't have to be a coffee fan to participate. =) 
2. Add the link to your Coffee Shop Chat post in the latest link-up (which will be listed on the latest Coffee Shop Chat post).
3. Include the link to this post so your readers can understand the rules.
4. Before you post, make sure that you comment on at least one other blogger's post. (The point of this is to begin forming relationships and interacting with one another, as if we were in an actual coffee shop. ;) )
5. Include the below image on your post. 
6. Be nice and have fun!

How to post: 

1. Use any of the LISTS PROMPTS located at the end of this post. Feel free to add your own!
2. Everyone who participates must answer at least 2 questions listed under CONVO STARTERS posted by myself or another participant.
3. At the end of your post, include 2 - 5 questions/convo starters for your readers to answer as well!

Questions? Let me know! It sounds complicated, but it's actually pretty simple. ;)

What I did this week:

Recently, I've been on the set of A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, a Christian short film about healing, hope, and the true purpose of life. I've also been hard at work on the sequel to Purple Moon!

Pictures Taken:

Here are a few pics I've taken the past few months . . .

Looking Forward To:

• Seeing my best friend, Caroline, in a few days!
• Visiting my sister and her husband this weekend for Easter.
• Attending the Karen Kingsbury Tour! (Ahhh!!! Fan-freak-out-alert.)
• Going to NYC soon to visit my sister, her husband, and attend a Christian conference.
• The Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writer's Conference in May. =) 

Grateful For:

• Spring! =D<3 comment-3--="">
• The support I've received surrounding the launch of PURSUEMagazine.net. Thanks to everyone who has contributed in helping to spread love, inspiration, and encouragement through this magazine.
• Progress in the sequel to Purple Moon. 
• Coffee. Coffee's always something to be grateful about.
• Dark chocolate.
• Herbal tea. I've recently had about two cups every evening, and ohmygoodness. I've discovered the best varieties of blends (or whatever they call it in Tea Land). It's the perfect drink to sip on when winding down and reading a good book.
• Speaking of good books, I'm currently on the fourth book I've read since January that's written by Jim Rubart. I can't get enough of his stories and writing style. He's an amazing person as well.
• Scrivener. Seriously, how did I ever write a book without this program?! 
• Bethel. I've had the chance to visit the Bethel campus in Atlanta a few times recently, and wow, the atmosphere was filled with God's love and His presence. Their music is probably one of my favorite worship bands as well. 
• Pump Peelz. It makes living with Type 1 Diabetes a lot less ugly.

Books I'm Reading:

• The Five Times I Met Myself by James L. Rubart

• The Lies About Truth by Courtney C. Stevens

Music I'm Enjoying:

• Bethel Worship Music

• House Fires

• WorshipMob

Scriptures I'm Enjoying:
