Typically, I'm reading a lot....really, a lot. Right now I'm reading Reclaiming Virtue by John Bradshaw...it's great because he begins with stories about people such as Ruby Bridges...inspiring readers right from the very first page. It also gives a good bit of background about the author, and his struggle through Seminary and why he left, etc. He also goes into a history of theology and definitions of virtue....
I think my favorite books lately have been Crazy Love and Forgotten God by Francis Chan. I thought I liked Crazy Love better (maybe because I read it first), but Forgotten God really touched my heart in a way that Crazy Love didn't....maybe because I don't feel like my friendship with Jesus was ever lacking or in question (though it might have been from His perspective)..but the Holy Spirit leading you on a daily basis is definitely something I want to continue to work on and perfect every day. It's a great thing to aspire to....if everyone could be lead by the Spirit just ONCE each day, well, let's just say the world would certainly be a lot more interesting (in a good way)!

I couldn't agree more with you about letting the Holy Spirit guide us through our day. It is an amazing thing that God is with us in this way and that I often lack sensitivity to the Spirit or the awareness that God is with us in this way. I love your new blog! Lisa T.
