Are you looking forward to 2015?!?!?

 

In preparation of the new year, I decided to ignite my love of reading. I found the book 'Write it down, make it happen'. I saw this on one of my favorite YouTuber's Favorites video. I searched the library and found that they did in fact have the book. My goal is to finish reading it before 2015. I plan on writing down a clear, concise plan for the new year. Goal I want to accomplish, places I want to go, things that I want to see, but most importantly putting them into action! 

I am excited and looking forward to the new year! Please join me in reading and reviewing this book. If there are enough people interested, I will start a Google hangout so we can discuss, share, and encourage our plans for the future!

You're Made for a God-Sized Dream: Opening the Door to All God Has for You

Thinking about reading this book: You're Made for a God-Sized Dream: Opening the Door to All God Has for You. I need something that will help bring my dreams to fruition.  This may be exactly what I need.

I am still reading Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working by Craig Groeschel and as I stated in a previous Spiritual Sunday post, I will be doing a review on it. I'm about half way through it and I found the Time chapters of the book a bit dry, but the relationship chapters...whoa! More to come =)

In my random spending, I went to the Chrisitian Family Store and browsed some of the books there. The store was also having a half off sale. I came across a book called Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working by Craig Groeschel. I flipped through it and to my surprise there were some parts that really stood out to me.

Book Description:

Normal people are stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Many of their relationships are, at best, strained and, in most cases, just surviving. Even though we live in one of the most prosperous places on earth, normal is still living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. In our oversexed world, lust, premarital sex, guilt, and shame are far more common than purity, virginity, and a healthy married sex life. And when it comes to God, the majority believe in him, but the teachings of scripture rarely make it into their everyday lives. Simply put, normal isn't working. Groeschel's WEIRD views will help you break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life.

I brought the book and plan to read a chapter a night until I am done. If anyone is interested in having a discussion about the book, just comment below. I'll do a book review on it when I finish.

So good, I saw it twice!

This week I went to see The Help twice! Each time it just got better and better! My co-workers called me weird, but I can't help it. I loved the book and I love the movie! The reason that I went to go and see it twice was because I did have the heart to tell my friends that I had already seen it two days prior, or that I had already make happy hour and movies plans with my other friend. Either way, it was a really good movie. I laughed, cried, felt a twinge of anger...I was really emotional.


If you seen it, share your thoughts!!

My Beloved Borders...

I thought that I had seen it on the news, but until I rode pass and seen the 'Store Closing' signs, that is the only way that I knew it was true: Borders is going out of business. Since moving to this side of town, I had the pleasure of living near a Borders and over this pass year I've grown accustomed to taking an hour out of my hectic day to just browse the selves. I loved the fact that I could get the greatest hot chocolate, ever, and relax...now its gone! All gone! Darn this recession!

Why let a good thing go to waste? I went to the store with the intentions of just browsing and not really buying. Well, one cookbook lead to another, and another, and a book on Calligraphy and a super cute address book. Sigh. I didn't mean to spend $21, but it just happened some how. There wasn't really sales going on, per say, 20% isn't that much, but I felt like if I waited then I would miss out. I mean, the place was already a mess from people riffling through, so its just a matter of time before there is nothing left on the shelves but The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. Which by the way, is a real book there.
