On my shelf

Most of my blog posts (and life!) has been centered around Dan and wedding plans recently, (and I'm lovin' it!!) and in the midst of everything I have managed to continue reading...a little, anyway! It is taking me much longer to get through a book, but I'm still thoroughly enjoying reading. Currently in my book bag, I'm working through:


Set Apart Femininity by Leslie Ludy

The Complete Financial Guide for Young Couples by Larry Burkett

Trevor's Song by T. A. Beam

As I read, I keep a pen and paper handy to make notes of things that stand out to me, and maybe, just maybe, one of these days I'll get excerpts typed up of what I'm learning! [smile]

How about you? Reading any good books?

I hope it uploaded big enough for you to read!

One week from today...

Dan flies in to spend Thanksgiving weekend in Branson!!

And exactly one month from today is our wedding day!!

OH!

I couldn't really tell if she was getting the idea or not, until the other morning when we were having family prayer time. We start with the oldest and work our way down, everyone taking their turn to pray. When it came to Charissa's turn, I heard her say:

"Dear Lord, please help Dan and Bethany to get married,

and then after Bethany goes bye-bye,
please help me go see her..."
