My Intentional Mondays

Spring is in full bloom. Beautiful trees blooming out with sweet smelling flowers and green is everywhere.
Loving it!

I have just been soaking up this amazing weather, the sun, the wind, the warmth. Clothes on the line - blowing in the breeze, dirt, flowers springing up everywhere.

I hope you are too!

I am also struggling to get used to this new time (you know the whole spring forward thing) Really?? What is the point of this again? I am a morning person, so honestly I don't care if it gets daylight at four am and then dark at seven. That would be fine with me. Do we have to keep messing with it? But I am sure for those who work a regular job that gets out at five or something, daylight savings probably helps them be able to get things done in the evenings.

The kids and I are finishing up Amon's Adventures - the book we are reading for lent this year. It has really kept their interest and they are eager every day to read that day's passage, as well as, always wanting to read more! I have really enjoyed the story also.

I just finished up Confessions of X.
I received this book in the mail randomly for review and honestly wasn't sure how I would feel about it. But it was incredible and kept my attention to the very end. Review coming soon.

Also coming up for review. I also finished up Healing the Wounded Heart. A very emotional book offering hope for those who have experienced sexual abuse.

Hope you'll join me this week for my reviews.

I just started reading The Newsmakers and so far, it has me hooked.

What are you reading?

Any fun Easter traditions you want to share? I would love to hear from you.
