My Life By a Snapshot

Hi there, It isn't even the end of March and I am writing my blog post for my March book... or shall I say books!? That's right, I read two books this month and I already started my first book for April. So, quick recap/ update for those who don't know what's going on. In January I made a new year's resolution to read a book every month of 2019. For January I read Marriage Takes More Than Love by Jack and Carole Mayhall and for February I read Do More Better by Tim Challies. The links to each corresponding blog post are below if you'd like to catch up.  1. The Art of Resolutions 2. Month One: Marriage Take More Than Love 3. Month Two: Do More Better To be honest, month one and two were a struggle. I finished the books at the very last minute and wrote their blog posts a week into the next month. I wasn't excited about the challenge and wasn't super motivated. I was just doing it because I made a resolution and I also knew it would get bet

Hi there, I've told all you about my hope and desire to attend His Hill Bible school in the fall and a little while ago I actually got to go for a day. Here's a little update on that.

I had seen many pictures and was excited to see it in person.  On my way to Texas As we pulled into the driveway it all became so real. It set in that this would be my home for a while. We arrived right at 9:00 as the students were gathering for chapel. we shook a few people's hands an

Hi there, February is officially over now and March has begun. For month two of this year, I read Do More Better by Tim Challies. I actually procrastinated and read it over the past week and a half. It has 108 pages and ten chapters plus 11 pages of bonus content. So, it's really not a very long or large book. But, it was pretty good and here's why. The book is 'a practical guide to productivity' . It gives you a Christ centred perspective and guidance on productivity. the first few chapters are about what it means to be productive and why we should be and why?  "Productivity is effectively stewarding your gifts, talents, time, energy and enthusiam for the good of others and the glory of God."   -Tim Challies The next few chapters are about defining your responsibilities and your mission. This is super helpful because it helped me to see exactly what I have on my plate which really helps in knowing how to be productive in my specific life. We all
