So Many Books



I used to be a voracious reader--like 100 books a year voracious. I don't have the time to read like that anymore but I still enjoy my bibliophile side when I can grab a few moments of time.

I have compiled a list of books I would recommend from both my past and present reading. Don't be afraid to check back as I plan on adding new titles with my reading progress as well as linking to reviews once I write them. Also, this is not an exhaustive list. If you want specific recommendations feel free to ask! :)

Non-Fiction  
(Biographies listed separately)
Do Hard Things -- Alex and Brett Harris
His Chosen Bride -- Jennifer Lamp
Mere Christianity -- C.S. Lewis
Set Apart Femininity -- Leslie Ludy
Authentic Beauty -- Leslie Ludy
The Cross Centered Life -- C.J. Mahaney




*Christian books are in black, secular are in blue.


So many books, so little time.

When I was thirteen my head conquered my heart long enough for me to pray a prayer-- "Lord, if I am to get married then I beg that you would only ever have one guy, the right one, be interested in me." God has seen fit to not answer that prayer with a "yes".

My Safety Line in Depression

Image
I've mentioned in my most recent posts that I struggle with depression. This problem is not unique to me but I do fight with it more than your average Christian young woman. It all started when I was thirteen. An acquaintance came to visit our family for a week and become a good friend. When he left it suddenly occurred to me that he would never be coming back. We would never see him again. We would never laugh with him again. We would never have the chance to tease him again. (He actually left with plans to return soon but my premonition turned out correct--we never saw him again). At these thoughts my world tilted. I began noticing just how many friends dropped out of my life, older relatives died, etc. and over and over a question came to mind, "Is God really good?" There is not a more terrifying thing to doubt.

Fireworks, Directing a Band, and Gomer

Image
I really love fireworks, even if the dust/fog they create makes me cough. The anticipation as a yellow comet squeals into the air, then it hangs for a tiny moment, silent and still before blossoming with a loud boom into an explosion outward of one color, often followed by a downward shower of another. Once the streaks of light have dissipated, the sky is left with charcoal scars and I find my mouth hanging slightly open in awe.  And I have the joy of knowing I will see it all over again just as amazing only a little different when the next firework is set off. Over and over again. Boom. Boom. Boom.
