On reading...

Yesterday I was working on a paper for grad school and started looking through our book shelf to find some resources for the paper. As I was looking through them I realized that there are a ton of books on my shelf that I have bought and never read. You see, I like to think of myself as a learner, and really, I do enjoy learning. However sometimes my intentions and actions do not line up. As I looked through the books I realized there were so many good things I could learn and got excited about being more intentional about reading things.
SO, here I go… I am going to start being more intentional! The first book I am going through is Praise Habit by David Crowder. My Mom gave it to my a while ago, and I have just not made it a priority, but that’s going to change! The book is about how our whole lives are praise, not just our worship or “set aside times.” In the first chapter he talks about how he as a kid would “find” God in different things, church, bible study, camp ect. Then as a junior in high school went through a traumatic time and felt lost in “finding” God. To hear how he started living a life of praise from this is really cool. I am looking forward to reading the rest and sharing what I am learning!

What books have you read latley that you enjoyed?

Job Update: Phil has a few different options from his company; it looks likely that he will start on Monday again. We are very thankful for Gods provision through this all. I feel like every time we are in this situation we grown and learn more about who God is. It is just amazing how God takes care of his children, he sure it taking care of us!

Bathroom Update: We have taken the last few days “off” since we were fairly burned out from the weekend! However that is about to change! Tonight we are going to finish the plumbing to the bathtub and get the cement board up on the walls so we can tile! My hope it to be able to have a working shower by next week! Phil is at Home Depot right now getting a few more things including a toilet that we are going to install temporarily until we are ready to tile the floors.

Thanks for your comments yesterday, its so great to know I am not the only one!
