What I’m Into (July 2014 Edition)
Read and Reading:
July was a good month for reading in my house. I posted about the books that I read. There is also a nice stack of books on my nightstand that I started or continued reading. The Valley of Vision was introduced to me while we lived in British Columbia a few years ago. I’ve picked it back up and am reading/praying through part 1. The other books I either started or continued reading are “Where There Was No Church”, “Pursue the Intentional Life”, “Sheba’s Song”, “Fields of the Fatherless,” and “What He Must Be”.
TV: Not much TV this month. We did spend a few evenings watching Star Wars Episodes 1-3.
Music: Before going to the Newsboys concert this month I purchased their “God’s Not Dead” album off iTunes. We also enjoyed seeing 1GirlNation open that concert, had the pleasure of meeting them and we purchased their cd.
Big project: July has ended with a bang. Many bangs of the hammer that is. Our basement bathroom & 2 closets were demo-ed and also our kitchen and dining room…all the way to the studs. So I’m cooking in the backyard and washing dishes in the laundry room. It is all pretty exciting and I can hardly wait to see it all finished. The project is scheduled to take about 7 weeks so I am sure my anticipation for it to be finished will grow with all those trips up and down stairs to do dishes and out door cooking.

What I Love: Being home, having my family all around me.
I didn’t love this: Rain and very cool temperatures most likely cancelling our upcoming camping trip. That said, I am very thankful for the rain. Drought and fire brought loss of lives and many homes the past several years and I am so thankful for no fires and lots of rain.
On The Blog. While I bounce around and am not that great a writer, I am glad that I finally was able to put some words to paper and tell one of the dark parts of my story. It is with the hope that others may be encouraged to press on, despite the ugly hard places one may find herself.
In the blogosphere:
Poverty does not have the final say
