Reading... finally!

I'm a huge reader. Well, okay, I used to be a huge reader. In college I kinda lost the habit (and missed it!) because I was so busy with classes, work and dating my wonderful Tim. After we were married, I was very sick (story for another day) and began a rather time-consuming job as a nanny. While I loved my life, I did miss the feeling of curling up on the couch with a good book. Now that Tim and I have a baby boy, I'm home again. This is such a blessing to our lives! And I have discovered tiny bits of time to read again.

Recently I finished "A Mom after God's Own Heart" by Elizabeth George. I'll be honest, this is my absolute favorite of her books (not that I've read all of them...)! It was a huge encouragement to me, and has helped me to begin implementing things into my routine that I knew "in theory" but just hadn't started doing yet. The book really made me realize that habits such as praying with your children (and especially praying FOR them), can never be started too soon.

I thank the Lord for the ability (and those tiny bits of time!) to read again. I'm praying that as I choose my books, His Spirit will guide me to topics and authors that will help me in my walk with Him, and teach this young woman how to love my husband and my child better each day.
