First Book in 2012

I have made it my personal goal this year to read more books. I love reading and always have. As a kid, teenager and single adult, I was the person that would read a book and pull an all-nighter if the book required it and refused to let me put it down. There is something very satisfying about completing a book and learning something new.

So, without further ado. My first book completed this year is:

While browsing in the Christian section of the library, this jumped out at me and after skimming through the first chapter, I had to check it out. It became my reading material for the treadmill and it is a devotional of sorts with one story, lesson and prayer per day. However, she is an excellent writer and I identified in a lot of areas and therefore, I read more than one a day. I read until my time on the treadmill was complete and I discovered two things:  A) I am not the only mom in the world that feels like I do and has the emotions and hang-ups that I do, and yet God still loves me and still chose for me to be exactly where I am.  B) I enjoy reading while running/walking on the treadmill and having a good book encourages me to get on the treadmill if nothing else, for an opportunity to read. :) 

I highly recommend the book if you are looking for light content with hard-hitting reminders that are backed up by Scripture. It's a cute little book to give you a little motivation and encouragement each day if that's all you have time for. She is funny, an excellent writer and I am now also following her blog.
