My Reading List for 2015

I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

I had some time this weekend to sit down with my planner and look over my spiritual priorities and think about what things I would like to accomplish in our home this year.  I love setting goals on closet cleanings, rooms to organize and cupboards to clean out.  Since I live in Wisconsin, the next three months we hibernate – really I'm not kidding.  We woke up today and it was minus 10.

I do love the winter months to wear comfy, warm clothes and cozy up by the fireplace with a good book (or my Kindle).  Part of my yearly planning is to set a goal of books I would like to read this year.  Sometimes they get carried over from last year because I never got to them or sometimes I get distracted by books I didn't think to put on my list and they become my next read.

Here is my hopeful list for 2015 and at the bottom I listed some of my favorite reads from last year's list (if you notice there were a lot of distractions).  We're currently reading Jesus Unmasked by Todd Friel as a family and loving every chapter!

Own Your Life by Sally Clarkson
Ordinary by Michael Horton
The Next Story by Tim Challies
The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis – We have tickets to see this through the Fellowship for Performing Arts so we may read this one together as a family.  
The Glory of Heaven by John MacArthur
40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible by Robert L. Plummer
Conversation Peace by Mary Kassian
Knowing God by J. I. Packer
The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs
Fool-Proofing Your Life by Jan Silvious
Surprised by Motherhood by Lisa-Jo Baker
For the Family's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
Some of my Favorites from 2014:

Evidence Not Seen by Darlene Diebler Rose
The Hardest Peace by Kara Tippetts
Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin
Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald Whitney
Crazy Busy by Kevin DeYoung
Big Girls Don't Whine by Jan Silvious
Desperate by Sarah Mae & Sally Clarkson
Guiltless Living by Ginger Hubbard
Pursue the Intentional Life by Jean Fleming
Missing Jesus by Charles & Janet Morris

Discipline: The Glad Surrender by Elisabeth Elliot

    My husband and I are reading The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment together right now and it has already been a blessing! It’s a very deep, rich, and thought provoking book so it’s nice to discuss it with someone lol. My husband is also reading The Glory of Heaven and highly recommends it.

Welcome to Thankful Homemaker

So thankful you’ve stopped by for a visit. Please grab a cup of coffee or tea and sit a bit. I hope to remind you that contentment in our role as homemakers begins with finding our satisfaction in Christ.

Contentment in our walk as believers is learned, j Contentment in our walk as believers is learned, just as Paul learned it, so do we as we walk this walk with the Lord. It does not come naturally to us. We know deep down the secret to contentment is to keep our eyes on the Lord in every situation. ⁣

What does it look like to live a fruitful life in What does it look like to live a fruitful life in the empty nest years?  What do I do now? What does my day-to-day life look like? Am I needed anymore? These are questions that raced through my mind as the empty nest season approached and was quickly upon me.⁣

"How much misery we would avoid if we permitted “the peace of Christ” to umpire in our hearts. How many words we would hold back if he were the arbitrator in our lives. How many sleepless nights we would forego if we did that. How the Church needs this too, “since as members of one body you were called to peace.”⁣

To be a peacemaker we need to be at peace with God. It starts here. We must no longer be God's enemy. God is the supreme peacemaker and now as his children, we should resemble our Father and be peacemakers.⁣
