Any suggestions for Christian Fiction or books with Biblical messages would be gladly received.
Summer is in full swing at our house and we are trying to number our days and live them purposefully. My husband and I are battling the almost constant fighting between our youngest children. I realized yesterday that when they start the day with cartoons that it really squelches any desire to play together and be on the same team. They have done B E A utifully today without the television. Yeah God!
Ryan has graduated, Praise God! He is struggling with OCD and all of the change that is happening around and within him. If you read this, please pray for Ryan. He is a wonderful young man. Pray for the demons within him to be bound up and removed from his life. He has a new job that is sending him exposure that he is struggling with. I am convinced that Satan is trying to manipulate him away from God. Katrina is moved in to her apartment and is thriving. She is working and going to school this summer. She will be done with classes in August. We are so thankful for her time and opportunity to go to TCU. It has been a wonderful experience for her. I struggle with it, with the cost. I so wish that I did not allow a foothold for Satan every time I worry about money. Read in The Utmost High the other day about worry being one big sin. I guess I did not realize that, that not relying on God in every detail was sinful. I have so much to learn. I never let that truth be revealed to me before. Satan allowed that veil to cloud my vision for over 40 years! Ryan is also on his way to TCU in the fall. When we went to help move Katrina in to her new apartment, we felt so strongly that Ryan would also thrive there. Please Lord, help me to see the wisdom in Your ways. Please Lord, help me KNOW that when You allowed his acceptance that we are to trust You to provide the means. You did not reveal his acceptance until we realized how much Ryan would benefit from the experience. Please help us to not get bogged down with worry. Help me trust You for every THING, Lord.
Hope all is well in your home. It is well here. Thanks be to God!

Family Driven Faith-by Voddie Baucham Jr.
I am reading it now! Its so good
Okay, I could list waaaay more books than you probably want - I am a book addict. For christian fiction I love anything by Francine Rivers, Karen Kingsbury, Lynn Austin or Michael Phillips (lots of others too but those are my current favorites).
I am reading lots of adoption books of course and my current ones are: The Strength of Mercy by Jan Beazly (who also stared and runs an adoption agency), Red Letters: Living a Faith that Bleeds by Tom Davis (I haven't actually read this one yet but have heard great things - the author also wrote Fields of the Fatherless), and Carried Safely Home by Kristin Swick Wong (also haven't started this one yet).
Let's see, other than that, I LOVE any books on motherhood by Sally Clarkson.
Sorry, I could keep going - I get way too excitied about books, even though I am a bit ADD in this area - I flit from one to the next and hardly ever finish them. Except fiction. :)
Thanks for the notes on the blog - we definitely need to get together soon! We are free Wednesday morning until about 1:00.
