I enjoy reading them, looking at them, talking about them, reviewing them, and READING what others are reading. :)<br /><br />I have read Crazy Love and A Praying Life - both good and some of your other reads are on my wishlist. I really, really heart the Kindle (we live in South America so it is extra nice.)<br /><br />I am presently reading I am Hutterite, Reaching and Teaching (about missions), and finishing The Mission of Motherhood along with others I am dabbling in when I can not wait!<br /><br />Enjoy you reading,<br />Amy @ Missional MamaAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129398037777534964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-83103431490102555602011-01-04T17:14:51.716-06:002011-01-04T17:14:51.716-06:00Amy,

The Kindle book is Jerry Bridges, “Trusting God” (and the Bible—I didn’t count that one). <br /><br />Of my real books, some are re-reads: "Crazy Love" and "The Grace Awakening." The new ones are “In the President’s Secret Service” (very intriguing!), “The Shallows” (so-so), Switch (loving it). I finished “The Mysterious Benedict Society” today (a cute kids’ novel). Then my Amazon order came in yesterday with: “The Pleasure of God”, “A Praying Life,” and “Pure Pleasure”. I love books; can you tell? :-)Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-53646026929939052792011-01-04T16:56:58.317-06:002011-01-04T16:56:58.317-06:00Looks like you are thinking some of the same thing...Looks like you are thinking some of the same things that I am.

I love the quote you are pondering, and am so glad I had the chance to read it. I know that to be true in my head, but so often my heart forgets and begins to fret.

I am reeeeeally bad at this and it's when I try take control of things that I seem to be <i>less</i> in control. Probably because God is teaching my silly little heart to depend more to Him!<br /><br />Have a blessed week :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16561067160127910157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-67577472591548287882011-01-04T14:14:43.371-06:002011-01-04T14:14:43.371-06:00Hi Lisa!

I *know* it overall, but too often I let it slip in and out of the daily stuff.<br /><br />I feel it's also very connected with my pride--feeling that *I* would know what is best and can do it myself. Sigh. Crazy, huh? I have THE GOD of the universe who is for me, so why don't I rest ALL the time in him instead of feeling anxious or afraid? It definitely feels good and right when I do!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-7645832291937717152011-01-04T07:59:29.988-06:002011-01-04T07:59:29.988-06:00I love the freshness of January, too.
