2012 Book List

"Are you gonna do the 52 book challenge next year?"

My brother and sister casually asked me this question. I had no idea what they were talking about. So, they explained that Doug Phillips (founder of Vision Forum) had challenged his church to read 1 book a week for the entire year of 2012. I was reluctant at first, but now I'm so excited!!! I really think that this will help me to focus my spare moments in gaining more wisdom rather than wasting it idling about. 

That said, here is the beginning of my tenative book list for the upcoming year. I more than welcome any suggestions.

Worldly or Godly? You decide.

August for me was a month of purging myself from worldly entertainment.  I was trying to focus solely on the things of God for just one month.  Sounds easy enough, right? It's not like I was going to do this forever.  At least that's what I thought at the time.  I'm not so sure anymore though.

If I claim that Christ has saved my soul and is living inside of me, shouldn't I always be about the will of the Father, just as He was when He walked on this earth?  We are commanded in Colossians 3:1-3 to, "Seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."  Do we then have an excuse to turn our minds off to God, and on to the world by watching, reading and listening to things that are completely contrary to God's holy standards?  I don't believe so.  If I am truly bought by the blood of Jesus then I am going to constantly be, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (II Corinthians 10:5), not saturating myself in them.  I need to remember to invest my time in what truly matters, serving the Lord.  "Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting" (Galations 6:7-8).  

I don't have this thought studied out completely yet, but I am studying it.  Not just glorifying God in movies, music and books, but in my speech, health, relationships, etc.  Submitting every area of life to the One who gave me that life to use for His pleasure and His glory.

Shoe Fever.................and Books

So...................Tuesday I took my little friend to Wal-Mart. While we were there we happened to pass by the shoe section. Ok. So we didn't pass by. We stopped, looked, and tried on shoes for quite some time. I ended up buying 4 pairs of shoes and 1 pair of boots.

Wednesday I took my little friend to the library, where I ended up purchasing 10 books.

Thursday................I went with a different friend back to Wal-Mart. Where I found more shoes and ended up buying 4 pairs of flip-flops and 1 pair of flats.

Wanna guess what I payed for all of this???????????

$22.50 (tax included)

And now I will show you my happiness in photos.

Tuesday finds:

Black Boots- $6

Pink Flats- $3

Gray Shoes- $2

Red Flats-$3

Blue Flats-$1

All together :)

Wednesday Finds:

2 of the books were bought for my little friend and she had already taken them home.

Reson for a picture of 8 instead of 10.

Thursday Finds:

Clear Flip-Flops -$.50

Black Swim Shoes- $.50

Yellow Flip-Flops -$.50

Orange Flats -$3

Pink Flip-Flops -$.50

All together ;)

Can you sense my happiness?!?!?!?!

*sigh*

Books.............

I just spent a good deal of my money on new books. I'm very happy with this decision. A couple of the books I ordered have been on my book list for a very long while, some of the others were new ones that I've recently discovered and want to read, and some were really good books that I have already read, but do not own. And so, I have bought (or rather, ordered) new books and cannot wait to get them in and devour them!!!! My father has always taught me that books are our friends, and you should treat them with respect. I've loved books for as long as I can remember (probably because I've always been surrounded by them), and truly can't imagine life without them. I can imagine life without TV and movies, and don't think I would really miss it that much. However; God chose to speak to us in book form, does that not automatically make you love books? It does me.

Oh. Here is what I ordered:

To Have and To Hold
So Much More
The Beauty of Modesty
Verses of Virtue
Be Fruitful and Multiply
The Ministry of Marriage (CD)
Fathers and Daughters (CD)
What Our Father Taught Us About Boys (CD)
