When writers give you books, read 'em! :)

With all do exceptions, of course!

I have been reading A LOT lately. And tho life never slows down, I find time.
Have any of you heard of the lamplighter book, The Wide Wide World? (there are two vlms.) That book(more like novel) was a good read! It took me two months to read it, but only because I was soooo busy. Usually only takes me two days to read a good sized book. I won't tell you what its about , or what happens (just encase you haven't read the book, but if you have, lets elaborate together:)) But what I will say is that this book really shows and teaches you how to deal with trials and losses and whom to go to when you are(God). its a really good book. I only cried once, but it was a satisfactory cry. haha!

Read "Seeing the invisible~Being aware of Gods presence" Uhm, can I just say that book was absolutely a blessing and soo good! By Mari Irwin.

Then I read A Walk To Remember.Emily let me barrow that one, I got it from her Tues. afternoon, and finished it last night(wed. the 3rd) She was so surprised to hear I had finished it so fast! haha it was just so good. Sad, happy, and at times made me so vexed, but in the end it was really good.

Working on Hines feet for high places and So Much More right now.
Rest your little hearts, I am reading my bible everyday more then my books aswell! ;)

And its that time of year again! I love the holidays, baking, social gatherings with all your loved ones, baking parties, thanksgiving, going up to the rim to pick out a Christmas tree, ornaments exchanges with family, AND friends. Remembering and esp, taking time to thank God for all the wonderful things He blesses us with in life. I just love it! :)

Well, I won't bore y'all anymore. Hope your all doing well.

Random Fact: I am absolutely obsessed with Kyle Landry's piano covers/songs he writes himself. I have printed off several of his songs to learn for myself! haha If your curious enough, here is link to his youtube....http://www.youtube.com/user/kylelandry

Verse:Ecclesiastes 10:12
"Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious,
but a fool is consumed by his own lips."

God Bless,
