Reading Challenge: update





As a review, I am working on the Light Reader section in the reading challenge. 

Books one and two: 
  • A biography: Hillbilly Elegy -highly recommend
  • A book with at least 400 pages -All the Light We Cannot See -also highly recommend




Book three:

  • A book about Christian living: Love into Light -good, challenging, convicting. Go read it.



Book four: 
  • A book for teens or young adults: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl -currently reading. I already don't love it. I did love The Fault in Our Starts. And I didn't love The Catcher in the Rye. This book is kind of reminding me of a mix of those two. Kind of.

nothing new [under the sun]

I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much.   a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me.  that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more  places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough?  because i found myself seeking for attention  or acceptance  or satisfaction anywhere other than fro...

[also, i think i fell in love with asparagus this year] this is how we be social.  i forgot how much i love walks in the fields at sunset.  #ilovenebraska my littlest of little sibs turned 13! !!! help! i have this thing for daisies.  seriously. give me a brother and a late night and we will have an adventure. CREW kids.... summer CREW is my fav. Yes, we are learning about Jesus on the playground! Don't judge us. or our ice cream.  the benefits of having my job. location location location. tradition: biking adventure with The Don.

[yeah, I totally stole this picture from my computer] I'm feeling rather wordy today. (make that inspired) Maybe it's because of the amounts of coffee I consumed, or the random sound track I'm listening to, or the breakfast that I got to eat at 10ish after dealing with a puking patient, or um, yeah, really don't know... BUT. I have an idea. And I'm excited. It will be 26 Days of Thankfulness. You know, like Project 365, except not. Stay tuned. I actually dreamed about the same meal two nights this week. [hobo dinners] I think it's a sign. Saturday Meal here we come! YUM. I am thinking about this question: "How should one spend their life and...what experiences (personal and observed) in your life support your ideas?" Maybe I will blog my answer. Some day. Halloween suddenly struck me as odd. Maybe it was the severed limbs hanging from door frames. Or the um, well, the darkness that is associated with it. Don't get me wrong, I like dressing up, a...
