Tidbits of Us

I am the wife of an amazing man, seeking hard after God's will for his family, and the mother of 3 beautiful little girls and a 4th baby lost in pregnancy, who all pull at my heartstrings continually. Life has been a whirlwind since our wedding in 2008, including seminary, adventures in camp ministry, missions in Kosovo, and countless moves and God's fingerprints are throughout it all. We are blessed and encouraged that He is equipping us continually for the ministry ahead and pray we are great stewards to all he has entrusted to us, in family, friends, ministry, finances, and of course, the gospel.

Hopeful Reading

The rule for my reading list is to rotate fiction and non-fiction. Sounds easy, but I enjoy fiction so much more, especially historical and good clean novels, as well as read them quicker then non-fiction. Hopefully the motivation to get lost in another good fiction book will keep me motivated to read through the non-fiction at a good pace!

Lists are in no real order and are added to, but started as of June 3, 2011. I also decided to number them when complete, along with the date I finished the book, just for my own liking...
