So-- on Friday, after my boss took us out to lunch and a movie, I had the WHOLE afternoon to do whatever I wanted! Since I was already at the mall, I decided to do some much-needed shoe shopping (thanks Ryan!) and then I ventured into Barnes & Noble... Wow. That place is like a drug. With the smell of coffee, comfy chairs and stacks of books everywhere, that place makes anyone feel so happy!! I decided I needed a good devotional and a book about marriage. So, I ventured into the Christian Inspiration section and found 2 great-looking books (I do, in fact, judge books by their covers--can't help it). It didn't hurt that I had already heard some great things about them. And here they are:
This book has been incredible so far... It basically just lists, chapter by chapter, ways that I can pray for Ryan in every aspect of his life...I mean, I've always known that it's a good thing to pray for your husband, but this is a book that tells me what to specifically pray for in the most selfless way possible. It's been really cool to see how my attitude towards him has changed (as well as our relationship) since I've started praying for him in these ways... I'm loving it so far!!!
This is an awesome 40-day devotional journal by Beth Moore that is very interactive and concise for us "busy girls" on the go. There's a small passage filled with great verses, and then plenty of room for answering application questions and writing out your prayers for the day and lift up what you've just learned. So far, it's been great for me to just step out of my busy day and get some peaceful reflection on everything in my life. I can't wait to see everything that I learn in the next few weeks!P.S. I'll post pics soon of our awesome & fun trip to Waco this past weekend!
