Reading List Review: July 2015
This month went very well for my book appetite. Not only did I read a lot, but also learned a lot, which changed the way I see my prayer life and my marriage. I'd have to say that The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson and For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn were the most transformational, so I highly recommend you take the time to read those two. (And if you're a man, read For Men Only by Shaunti Feldhahn.) I look forward to reading more books this month to improve the intimacy in my marriage this month as well as some more books…
July’s Monthly Menu (2015 Version)

If some of the recipes from this month's menu sound like something you'd like to try, just let me know and I'll send you the link. Enjoy!

Going into last week, I had no idea what I was in for. I thought I was entering a growth opportunity for myself, but instead I found many more resources to help grow my daughters into the young women God intends them to be. For two hours a day, I entered into the world of the "tween." Since Rapunzel turned eight, I've been slowly seeking out resources that would help her grow as a Christian, but it's been difficult to find Christian music, tv, and books that compare to what Disney and Nickelodeon have to offer for that age group.…
