Jibber Jabber....

Not much to say today, but I feel like I'm going behind on my once a week post and I feel like its time to post.

Book Review:
I just read my So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife by Sara Horn. I highly suggest it. ESPECIALLY if you're trying to be a homemaker. It does get slow at points but its still a great read. She does many different ministries for military wives (I'm hopefully going to one of her retreats in May!!). But when you see these people up there you seem to think they have some kind of super powers. Okay maybe not super powers, but it just seems like they have it all, and they can do it all. I mean I know nothing is perfect but seeing the people preach about their lives and how they've been touched by God. I mean I can't really help to think that their lives must be pretty smooth. Well, deep down I know better (I don't want anyone reading to take offense) but really, its easy to think like that. But in this book Sara has a husband who had been laid off, and she had never been a 'homemaker'. In the beginning she decides that she's going to try to be like the wife mentioned in Psalms 31. She talks of all their struggles, and her struggles with juggling her ministries, her writings, her husband's joblessness, being a mom, AND taking on Proverbs. I kind of went into reading is skeptically thinking that she was going to make this miraculous turn around and become this wonderful homemaker (predictable). But it wasn't like that at all. You have to read it. There is a turn around, but not as predictable as you would originally think. And this makes me even MORE excited to see her at the retreat. I can hear her preach about how wonderful God is and then KNOW that she has had hardships, she has struggled to juggle God, job, and a family. I cannot wait. So yes READ IT.


Whats going on with my resolution:

Mind: Read 3 of my 52 books so far. Doing good in school, too, but its just an intro class so nothing is too stressful so far!

Body: Ummm..... Stay Tuned :-)

Soul: Yes, the only thing that REALLY matters. A radio station here called K-Love is having a 30-Day Challenge, only listen to Christian music for 30 days. So far I'm doing pretty good. If you have Direct TV the channel 826 "The Praise" is a more contemporary Christian music station, I leave it playing pretty much all day!
As for my volunteering, I filled out another application and emailed a lady on Camp Lejeune but still no replies. I'm going to have to find more resources!
I'm still reading my Bible every night. I'm doing the 'moment with scripture' plan that is on my phone. I wish it was more of a study, so after I read it I can read something that can explain it better. But I get most of it. And I think I've pretty much read it every night (right now I can't think of a time I skipped) so YAY ME!
