I could seriously just spend my days reading and writing. I enjoy both so much, and when I have time to myself to do this, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the many possibilities - What to read? What to write?
·
To Read?
o Do I
continue in my Inca novel, following the journey of Cusi and McKay as they
navigate the decline of that great South American empire? At page 832, I'm getting so close to
completion! I might even be able to
finish before the next time it's due back at the library!
o Do I
read my book on Prayer by Timothy Keller, in which I am learning about the
different forms of meditation and how it guides and directs our prayer lives.
o Do I
continue reading with Derek our "Talk thru the Bible" book, that is
helping us gain a better understanding of the content, themes, purposes,
authors, dates, etc. of each book of the Bible.
o Do I
keep reading "A Case for Amillennialism," a book that feeds my
curiosity about one perspective on the end times prophecy in scripture.
o Or do I
read any number of articles that have peaked my interest on the subjects of
Covenant Theology, Infant Baptism, and Festival Typology.

To Write?
o About any
of the above things that I am learning.
o About
the awesome way in which God is teaching from his word and helping me to
memorize scripture through learning verses in Spanish (all while slowly
improving my Español!)
o About
how amazing it is being Finn's mom. Watching
him learn and grow brings so much delight to my life, and I wish I had more
time to chronicle it all!
o About
the recent ways God has shown me glimpses of Himself and His purpose for having
us here right now (and not in Peru yet).
o About
how necessary, helpful, and cathartic I find writing.
o About my
need and desire to find or start a small group of women to study the Bible,
practice honesty, share prayer concerns, and hold each other accountable.
o About
Derek's and my new scripture memory plan
o About my
new work out routine/battle/nuisance.
o About my
chronic habit of reading too many different books at once.
o About
how much I HATE seasonal allergies. Amen???
What's a mom with only a few precious evening
hours to herself to do? :) What a lovely problem to have!
