I’ve been reading Made to Crave. Have you heard of it? It’s a devotional that was recommended to me by a friend through my YouVersion Bible app. (YouVersion is a great, free bible app. Just download it, create a profile, search ‘food’ and start the Made to Crave reading plan. This plan is adapted from the book written by Lysa TerKeurst wrote.) It’s a 21-day reading challenge and it is really great.
This devotional has given me my Ah-ha Moment #3 … (you can read about moments 1&2 here).

I’ve just recently come off of reading an a.m.a.z.i.n.g. book. It’s titled Humility: True Greatness, by C.J. Mahaney. I don’t read tons of books. I like to read, but finding time between, kids, house, working, friends, meetings and indulging in other guilty pleasures like Southern Living magazine, sometimes it’s hard!!! I love it when people talk about getting into bed at night and reading a chapter before they fall asleep. I think that’s awesome!!! Why, you ask? Because when my head hits the pillow and I take that first deep breath … I’m out like a light!!! It really is a gift and a curse!
When you come off a great book, don’t you just feel like it will be forever before you read another great one? Well, I follow this blog called Warrior Prayers. From what I’ve read on her blog and have seen in her posts, she, simply speaking, seems to be a mom who loves her boys beyond belief and is reconciled to the fact that the best thing she can do for them is be a prayer warrior for her young warriors. How great is that?! Well, right now, she is reading a book called A Praying Life, by Paul E. Miller. After reading this short excerpt from A Praying Life, I know I have to read this book. It’s on my next book order list

What are you currently reading that you love? What is God using right now to change your heart and life for the better?

So I’ve been doing some summer reading programs with the kids. There are a lot of them, actually. By far, my favorite one is thru Half-Price Books. Why?, you ask … well, let me tell you! They give your child gift cards for your child’s reading efforts! That way they can go in and get a book they actually like and will read again.
So today we went and I cashed in 3 weeks worth of reading cards. Look at what we got:
