After a children's literature class that I recently took this past semester, I can genuinely say that I have a new found love for children's books ... but these books are for children. ha ha. I can't say that I'm an avid reader, however, I do like engaging in self-help/advice/inspirational books during my free time. I'm working on branching out to new and different genres! :) These books here are a few that I've been loving, started and trying to finish up, and/or working through.

1. Made to Crave by Lysa TerKeurst: This book has convicted me many times about the choices I make when it comes to eating habits. To simply put it, I have a choice and either I can choose to use every opportunity to glorify God with what I put in my body or instead, choose whatever I want, whenever I want for my own benefit. (Currently borrowing this from Vic!)

2. What Every Woman Wishes Her Father Had Told Her by Bryon and Robin Yawn: My brother picked this up for me when he attended a conference about two or so months ago. I still have yet to get into the core of this thing!

3. Organized Simplicity by Tsh Oxenreider: I haven't always cared for an organized home; that's until I grew up a little and realized how much a home meant to a family and also how it can foster beautiful relationships with those who come in and out. It's become a passion of mine to create an hospitable atmosphere to those around me wherever we are. (Admittedly, I need to keep working on this area of my life).

4. Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George: This book has always been on my list of books to read! I was so excited when I saw that my sister owned a copy of it.

5. Make Up: Your Life Guide to Beauty, Style, and Success - Online and Off by Michelle Phan: Yes, I'm actually reading this one. Lots of good tips!

6. Born is The King Advent by She Reads Truth: I genuinely love everything about this one. It contains lots of pretty pictures, tons of scriptures for each day up to Christmas, and a place for responses. This year's advent focuses on finding Jesus in the Old Testament and how he is the truer and better of all the characters that we know of in the Old Testament.
