What I am Reading

I decided I would read more this year and actually finish some books I tried to read last year but just couldn't get through. To start this year off I am reading the bible through with a one years reading plan.  Also, I am going to finish some books I started last year.

The Frieda C. White book that I shared last year, and have not finished, is for sure one I want to continue. Each time I start to read it there is so much there that the Holy Spirit begins to speak to me about that I barely get a few pages read and then spend days journaling it all out. It struck me as such a good book that I get a copy to two friends.

Another book I have been reading is "The Final Quest" by Rick Joyner.  So far I find it interesting but it is not normally something I would read.  Still I want to read it as a very good friend gave it to me and is anticipating a good talk about it.  I love talking books and so I am looking forward to this talk but I must get the book read first.

I got a large print book at the friends of the library sale and I am enjoying it a lot.  I like to end the day by reading from a novel just before I go to sleep.  "Stepping into the Sunlight" by Sharon Hinck is a book about a woman who closely witnesses a hold-up in a convenience store and ends up with panic attacks.  This book is a story about her journey back to normal functioning. 

And the last book I am starting the year 2019 off with is "50 Women Every Christian Should Know" by Michelle DeRusha.  It was a wonderful Christmas Gift from my son and DIL.  I have looked through it and read the introduction but tonight I read the first entry and learned of an amazing Catholic Nun, Hildegard of Bingen abbess, meaning the Mother Superior, of the Abby who was a very interesting lady.  She had visions and words of knowledge from God and wrote them down with the Pope's blessing in the 1100's.  I am looking forward to getting to know these ladies, some I already know of and many who are new to me. 

These four books are not all that I have started but not finished.  I have "The Carolina Heirlooms Collection" by Lisa Wingate on my tablet. I read it when I am out to lunch with my husband.  As we have done since we first got married we read at lunch.  He looks at websites on his tablet and I play games, look at Facebook, and/or read the books I have saved on my tablet. We talk a lot while doing this.  We have always done it and I assume since we are in our 60's that we always will. 

Usually I start the year by rereading a loved book I have read many times before.  This year I felt I had enough to read for now. I want to keep a record of the books I read this year and what better place than here to hopefully encourage someone else to read as well. 

Now for something I am not sure I understand but feel I must do as a way of complying with rules and that is to say "WHILE I AM NOT SURE IF THIS SITE DOES USE COOKIES IT IS A POSSIBILITY SO IF YOU DON'T WANT COOKIES PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE."

  On Fridays we post 5 things about the week that were a blessing. It is hosted by  Susanne at  Living to Tell the Story ~~~ This one, Titus, will be 10 soon.  He and I spend Wednesday afternoons together. He does homework, get a snack and we watch Sponge Bob or Phineas and Ferb, then we cook dinner before the rest of the family comes home.   He is so smart and cooks like he is much older. My Friday's Fave Five are: #1. See above.  I love that boy and I am so glad he is not interested yet in after school clubs.  We get to spend the time I never got when he was a baby.  His Mom worked while the two older ones were between birth and 5 years.  I got to love on them for her, but with Titus she stayed home.  I feel very blessed to have this time with him now. #2.  I had lunch with my son yesterday and he is doing so good.  God is healing him and he is now going to volunteer at the hospital.  This ...

Friday's Fave Five

  I love Fridays when I get to post my favorite five things or blessings about the week.  There are always more than five so it is sometimes hard to pick. To see others who participate go to Living to Tell the Story and click on the respondents in the comments.  Many of them participate. 1. From last Friday night to yesterday I was sick.  It was a flu and a sinus infection, but thankfully not the flu. Yesterday I got to go to my son's new house.  We were outside most of the time so I was not having to stay a long way away from my grands and son.  2.  Even though everything is shut down I am blessed to go to a church that has can post all services online.  I got to enjoy our Women Rock Bible Study online .  It was so good. 3.  I may have spent most of my vacation at home sick but I still have 4 more days that I can go do something now that I am feeling much, much better. 4.  I have some sewing to do and have been doing s...

Friday's Fave Five

  https://susannesspace.blogspot.com/   Click this link to see the host and others who participate in Friday's Fave Five.  This picture is of my dear friend Lucy who went to be with the Lord just a few days after Christmas.  In fact just a minute after learning my son was being air lifted to Loma Linda Hospital I received a call from one of the Reverends at our church telling me she has died.   Why such a sad memory on a day when I am to tell my Fave Fives of the week? 1. Friends.  I love my friends (sisters in Jesus) so much and have a wonderful week of zoom meetings where I have had the blessing of talking to many of them.  I have had text messages, phone calls, and chats on Face Book.  The best thing is that we talk of Jesus and how present He has been in our lives during this time.  Lucy was a wonderful sister in the Lord and I thought of her a bit this week.  I talked with her daughter by text and we cri...
