Still Reading......

Well today I finished another book.  This book makes 4 read out of 12 that I had set as my goal. 

I love when you get one of those books that you just can't put down.  The one I just finished I read in 3 days.  It was almost 400 pages and I just couldn't put it down.  I am very sad that it was the last of it's series and hope to find more like it to read.

I am learning that I am a very picky reader.  I love when friends recommend books to me but I very rarely can read them.  I will read the back and see if it interests me and then I will start to read a few pages.  I need the book to catch my attention in the first few pages or I am done. 

I never did well in my literature class for this reason.  They wanted me to read books about football and I hate football!  They always had boring books to read and so I cheated my way through that class sadly!

However, when you can read whenever and whatever, it makes a huge difference!  I love to read and love to find a new books.  I will keep searching for new ones and hope I can keep finding the ones that you just can't put down.

Church

Today started out as a normal day going to church.  We go and drop off the kids and then go sing and worship God, sit and listen to the sermon and then sing more.  We then go and get our kids and go home. 

Well today went a bit different.  After the end of service, we stayed and enjoyed some of the yummy pastries they had and I couldn't find Darren.  He was over talking to the pastor.  It was very strange because at the beginning of checking out this church he wasn't super excited to go.  So I see him talking to the pastor and then over to the band people and he talked to them for a while.

So on our way home I asked about him talking to the people and he said that if he is gonna go to this church he needs to get to know the people who go there.  That was interesting because it's becoming a side i haven't seen in him.  So then he was telling me that he really likes the church and he loves the music and loves the pastor.  He said that everything he hears has meaning to him and he often feels like he may cry while singing.  He said he has realized that he is a different person when we dont' go to church and he doesn't like the person he becomes during that time. 

This is a huge step!  I never thought I would hear any of these words come from him ever. 

It has been a great day at church and can't wait to go again and watch as God is growing my wonderful husband!
