Attention Bookworms!


Hey all you bookworms out there. I need some help.


As you know, I'm in a bookclub and I've been assigned to pick the July book. I have no idea what to pick. I love to read, but in the past few years my booklist has been quite short.


It is a bookclub with some ladies from my church so keep that in mind when you make suggestions. It doens't have to be a Christian book, by any means, but I would like to keep it appropriate.


These are the books we've already read or plan on reading:


The Persian Pickle Club

Plainsong

Sisterchicks on the Loose

A Bride Most Begrudging

Peace Like a River

My Sister's Keeper


If you know of any great books out there, I would love to hear about them.


Thanks!

Ahhhh, to be His Bride!

I would like to just take a moment to say how blessed I feel today! I realize, on this Sabbath day that I do belong to Christ. He is my bridegroom and I am His bride! How remarkable and special is our relationship with our Savior!

Most of you know, I am on leadership at my church. We have been discussing some new changes that will soon be put into place within the church. I, along with many others on leadership are ready to start these new changes, yesterday! Now after reading "Fivefold Ministry Made Practical", and realizing exactly what it means to be a part of a Fivefold Ministry; I can honestly say, as the Apostle that I am...........I am not scared of change!

I want more than ever to see others excited and amazed at God's glory! He is such an AWESOME God! To see others using their giftings, that God alone imparted to them; and using those giftings to spread His Word and advance His Kingdom!!!! What else, but Him alone, do we need! He is all we need! He can provide our comfort....He can provide our strength.....He can provide our love......He can provide our peace! He can do it all, folks! Lean on Him!!!!

Today, during worship I was so blown away at God and all that He is for me! I felt so loved and so blessed! I was also so excited to see others feeling that same way! So many of us, just lost in Him. Lost in His glory, lifting up our praises to Him, as a body. It was beautiful! As the tears flowed down my cheeks, and as I sang praises to my Father I was swept away in His wonderful presence! Oh, how I love my Savior!!!
