The Year of Living Biblically...

So I finished The Year of Living Biblically a few days ago and was surprised by it. While I disagree with his actual beliefs, his insight is somewhat astounding. I am not sure how to explain it but I was entertained the entire book and enjoyed reading it. His is brutally honest with what he does not understand and comes away with some awesome realizations about gratitude, prayer, and perspective on life. I recommend this book to expand anyone's ideas on God.

On other news, not much is happening. Cory has switched squadrons but isn't actually working there yet so he is still posting to the field 5 days on 5 days off. The receptionist at work starts on Tuesday the 26th and I will move into my new office that is currently full of crap from our moldy office that construction had to be done. GOOD NEWS: I have a half day on Friday! YEAH!!

Finally a Bible Study!!



To be brutally honest, my quiet times lately have not been happening. I use the excuse that I did not know what to read or am bored. Honestly though, all excuses that God will definitely ask me about some day.

Good news though, my base Bible Study again and I am a daily study to do. I host/sort of lead it at my house. I love Beth Moore studies. We have already done "A Heart Like His" and "Believing God." We have just started "Jesus the One and Only" and I am stoked. I haven't been in the gospels much since I was saved 8 years agoa and it is about time!! I will have to let you all know how it goes!

The women in the study are awesome and most are my neighbors which is even better! I have neighbors that love God and want to learn more about Him! I can't wait to see what God is going to do with this study! I will stop rambling now.

2. Cory and I won 3 for 3 Euchre games against Matt and Jason/Jess.
3. Dinner with the neighbors and the best chicken cordon blue I have ever had!
4. A group at church that is willing to work out and hold me accountable!
5. Dinner with the Kings and Gilbos tonight.
6. Lunch with Melissa tomorrow.
7. No work tomorrow but still getting paid because construction needs to be done to alleviate the mold issue we are having.
8. Gearing up to go to Jamaica next summer.
9. Hanging with the girls on Saturday.
10. I can't think of 10 right now but I have to a number 10!! :)
