Books I Love Right Now

I LOVE To Read!!

The one thing I always make time for is reading. I am also a speed reader so I move myself through an insane amount of books when I am in the mood. A day on my deck in my lounge chair with a diet coke or coffee and a good book is my absolute favorite. When reading I am a fan of Christian books on self improvement, prayer, etc. as well as fiction. Here are a few things I have just finished up and highly recommend.

I also do a lot of Bible studies, Beth Moore and Elizabeth George are two of my favorites. However, I realize that reading the Bible as it is written is just as important but being able to do this has always been a struggle for me. I recently began reading a Bible in One Year using the Message. It has really made a difference in my comprehension and concentration. This is the one I am using and highly recommend it.

I started reading books on Kindle last Christmas. I was not sure I would like it, but actually am loving that I can read several different books at the same time easier than before, and because I love to read so much it has cut down on the stacks of book I have sitting around.

My job is being a Children's Literacy Specialist for Child Care Providers. I get to share my passion with small children everyday. My dream job would be a librarian. Maybe someday......

Happy Reading Everyone!!

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with The Simple Woman's Blog for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow. Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important. We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off. Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again. I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects. My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap? Someone who drinks perfume? This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening? Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood? I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods? Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night? Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested? I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me. It is hosted by Living to Tell the Story . My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night. My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations. Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen. They were talking about casual and personal things. I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well. It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee. My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2. I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week. I am ready to shut the books on this we...
