Crazy Love: Week One....

So I started reading this book called "Crazy Love" last week and I have fell in love with it! I am doing a study on this book with my small group starting tomorrow. I have already read all the way up to chapter 7. I couldn't stop reading it once I picked it up. I have learn alot about myself in the past 7 chapters and I am sure I will learn a ton more in study this week on the first chapter! I am excited to dive into this and figured out what God wants for me and what I need to do to have a better relationship with him. Francis Chan really puts it into prespective when he talks about an extra in a movie and that person tells all there friends and family and they all sit down to watch this movie to see the scene where for "two-fifths of a second when you can see the back of your head" then he goes onto to say: "Now consider the movie of life.... God creates the world. (Were you alive then? Was God talking to you when He proclaimed "It is good" about all He had just made?)" Haley and I were talking over this at dinner Saturday night and it just really does make you think "Hey it isn't all about me!" It's all about him and what I am doing with my two-fifths of a second that I call life! My challenge for myself is this: Live a life that is truly in deep pursuit of Christ! I pray that I can continue this throughout the rest of my life and that I can make something of my two-fifths of a second!

Wednesday

Today is a good day! A day filled with work, Bible study, Wonderful ladies, and Books, yes books! So today after work much like any usual Wednesday, I will go home and help hubby while he makes dinner or I make dinner (it really flip flops each week) and help Austin with his home work! Then we will rush to sit down and eat together before I must leave them and go out to Bible Study! 3 hours of wonderful fellowship with wonderful, God fearing, uplifting women! I very much enjoy my Wednesday evenings! We are in John 12. John has taught me a lot about understanding Jesus better and the man that he was and still very much is. I look forward to continuing this study and seeing what God has in store for me!
Today I have requested that my hubby makes a trip to the library on my behalf! I so enjoy going to the library and just sitting and reading there! I wish I could actually do it from time to time! I might try sometime soon! So getting back on track the hubs is going to the library for me today to get a book I have put on hold called "Blue Like Jazz" I have heard many wonderful things about this book so I am going to start reading it. Maybe it will give my life some more perspective or maybe not?? Who knows! But what I do know is that I need to get back in the reading saddle! After that book I will be moving onto "Pride and Prejudice" and then "Emma" I never got the privilege to read these last two books growing up! So I am going to try to relive my childhood a bit :) So far it has gone wonderfully!

Going back to yesterday's post, I still haven't been able to get some pictures of everything we have planted but hope to get those pictures taken thins weekend! I still have more planting and container hunting to do! My porch is going to be full of containers by the time I am done with it :) Happy reading/gardening!
