Reading List Review: August 2015

I definitely tricked myself this month.  I thought I hardly read anything, when in fact I finished a whole bunch of books at the beginning of the month.  So now that I'm feeling a bit better about my reading for the last month... Here's what I read during the month of July: Not Even a Hint by Joshua Harris The Sexually Confident Wife by Shannon Ethridge Sheet Music by Dr. Kevin Leman Start: Punch Fear in the Face by Jonathan Acuff Just Courage: God's Great Expedition for the Restless Christian by Gary A.

Work-in-Progress Wednesday (8/19/15)

This week is a busy week as we prepare for school (yes, we start later than most).  We found out our teachers yesterday, and we're looking forward to Meet the Teacher Night later this week. I am babysitting for a few friends this week, so my house has been full!  We hope to go to the local water park tomorrow, maybe ride bikes, and possibly swing by the library.

Scripture Sunday: 1 Peter 5:8

"Stay alert!  Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.  He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8 This verse has come across my path a lot lately--even moreso in the last week or so.  So I felt it appropriate to share with you this week as a reminder that we are constantly under attack from Satan.  He is always seeking ways in which he can bring us down. Last week I asked how God is changing your heart to do what's right, and I think this goes along with that.  My mother-in-law…
