So, I really wish I was a more consistent Blogger. What a great way to record the thoughts and pictures in your life. I love being able to get all my thoughts written down. I just feel I never have much to write about. But now, today, I am starting a book. Reading one that is, not writing. My bestie and I are reading "7 - An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess" by Jen Hatmaker. I love her blog. The bestie and I decided to do a book study together and she recommended this one. I guess I should use a different word than recommended. She had heard of it, but was a little weary to read it. I felt the same way. Do I really want to read a book that is going to point out how 'wealthy' I am compared to the rest of the word. Do I really want to be challenged to give up certain comforts while reading this book? We were both intrigued by the book, but like I said, unsure we wanted to do it. So I bit the bullet and ordered my book before we could change our mind. Now it's time to get started. I think this is going to be a hard book to follow through on. That is why I have told myself I am going to blog about reading/doing the book. Here's the book in a nutshell: Seven months, seven areas, reduced to seven simple choices. The areas are food, clothes, possessions, media, waste, spending and stress. I love in the introduction that Jen says, "I'm ready to adopt Jesus' version of rich, blessed and generous."
That's as far as I have gotten, the Introduction. Pray for me.
