Thank you for so many book recommendations!

I am starting a must read pile. I am currently reading A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving at the recommendation of a friend, and on deck is Beth Moore's new book So Long Insecurity. I can't wait to hear what she has to say about this life-long nemesis.

  1. That new one by Beth Moore sounds great. I'm going to have to add it to my "to-be-read" list!

  2. My favorite book of all time (prayer for owen meany) and my new favorite book (so long insecurity) How fun to find a commonality with someone who inspires me and blesses me with her gift as you do!

  3. I just heard your radio program today on Focus on the Family and I was SO BLESSED - I was crying in my car on the way home from the YMCA!! I had no intention of listening to the program and so I had no idea you and your husband were going to be on --- I LOVE HOW GOD WORKS! When you were talking about your marriage and how during your pre-marriage counseling you took a compatibility test that made the counselor say --- "here's my card" THAT STRUCK A CHORD... my husband and I are so different and we knew that, but now almost 11 years later and with a 2 year old and 3 year old things are just more complicated and we so easily lose sight that those things we thought endearing and "complimentary" to each other are now somehow just rubbing us the wrong way with so much less real quality time together. Thank you for your honest words today (or whenever it was aired - thank your husband for stepping out of his comfort zone) and thank you for your continued pursuit of authenticity in this life - it is so missed and so needed in our christian circles. You are a blessing!

  4. Hello my friend. Got super excited when I saw this. Before we were married, Corrie recommended A Prayer for Owen Meany to me and I devoured it. Glad you were able to enjoy it as well. Hope you and the fam are doing great...
