A Good Read

For months I have been struggling to just read even one of the MANY books I own. I can't just pick one up and go. I have to feel it. It has to be something I'm interested in or on a topic I am struggling with or needs to reach into my heart and grab a hold.
And since nursing school has been over this past July have I have not been able to find that one book that I just can't put down. Until now.......

I am so excited to finally get to read this. I had been wanting it for awhile but just wouldn't send the money to get it. But
now I am glad I did. Just got started and I so can connect to it.

So I now you are probly waiting for the title, right?

"Women Living Well"

And here is just a sneak peak...

"The Bible is revolutionary, life-changing, extraordinary, eye-opening, jaw-dropping, and downright amazing. It is filled with romance, tragedy, heroes, good, and evil. There is suspense, drama, wisdom, and comfort. As you read, you will weep and you will jump for joy. Yet we women are too often drawn away by novels, self-help books, cookbooks, magazines, and social media. These are a poor substitute for the Bible and a relationship with God. Other reading materials steal our time away from the one book that is most extraordinary on the planet—the Bible. Those books and magazines are inviting and enjoyable—and don’t get me wrong: you may just see me reading one on the beach—but they lack the power of God’s voice. It’s only in the Bible that we find direct words from God. There is no other place in this world where we can get a direct message from God, so why do we neglect reading Scripture? Don’t we want to hear God’s voice?"

So I encourage you to read it and share it and I would love to hear what you think about it, how it may touch you and your life as a women, mother, wife, friend, child of God.

Off here I go,  to pick it back up,
just had to share
"a good read"
   with you!

All my love and prayers sweet ones,

Katie
