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

What about you?  What were some of your favorites from last year?  What's on your reading list for the year ahead?

    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.

How many times does Sunday morning roll around and How many times does Sunday morning roll around and you find your heart in a state of chaos instead of calm to worship the Lord?  How many Sundays do you arrive at church and realize you haven’t taken the time all week to pray for your pastor or your church family? ⁣

I want to share with you some simple steps we can take to prepare our hearts and the hearts of our families for Sunday morning worship to the Lord. ⁣

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣

Summer is a natural time for me to get off my rout Summer is a natural time for me to get off my routine of menu planning. In the winter, we're more apt to stick to a schedule, but summer brings about a more flexible and changing calendar. ⁣
⁣
I'm sharing some simple tips that have been a help to me and hopefully, they'll help you in planning your summertime meals. Menu planning is a time and money saver, and I don't know about you, but I would sure like to have more time to enjoy my summer months.⁣
