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!!

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...

What's going on around here....

I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book. Link up and share yours and read the other links.... For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction. Outside my window....Snow. We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted. I can handle this. I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty. I am thinking...how nice to have the day off. Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it. I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days. I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :) I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...
