Do you read multiple books at a time? Do you forget where you left off sometimes because your little LO pulls bookmarks out of your books? Do you end up reading parts of your book 3-4 times before you realize you already read that part 3-4 times? This is the story of my life for March, but I have made progress! To update those who haven’t been following my blog from the beginning: I am reading a variety of books although lately it is mostly Christian material. I am also making my way through the NIV Bible (from beginning to end).
I have to be honest, The Horse And His Boy (C.S. Lewis) is going super slow. I’m finding it difficult to read because the interest is just not there. I’ve got it by the side of my bed and it is just going painfully slow. I kind of want it to be over already but I am sticking it out. It just may take some time, but I WILL finish it because I am determined to start finishing books. In previous years I had a bad habit of starting books and not finishing them. I would delve here and there and get about half way and then just ditch the rest only to do the same with every other book I came into contact with. I’m done with that! I will finish The Horse and His Boy on principle!
I also started reading The Confident Mom by Joyce Meyer. One thing that I have taken away with it so far that I really appreciated her bringing up was the topic of worrying. It was so interesting to read how worrying about our kids has almost become a badge of honour in our society. The question she raises is “Does worrying about our kids accomplish anything?” and “What does it take away from us?” Definitely some food for thought there. I’m eager to keep reading this one.
My daily Bible reading is going well. Now in 2 Chronicles, I can see how it reflects back on 1 and 2 Kings. There is a clear pattern of doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and punishment followed by those who walk in the ways of the Lord and do what is right. There is also the idea of humility leading to forgiveness by God no matter how much wrong is committed. That gives me hope and encouragement in my walk of faith.
See and Wait,
