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.

My Body's Mine by Kayla Marnach

My Body's Mine helps children learn they have the rights to their body.

It also gives clear instructions on what to do if they are approached in an unwanted manner. The questions at the end of the book provides an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion to prevent abuse or to further explore if abuse has occurred.

Congratulations to our Winner - Lynne In  Night Night , Farm by Amy Parker, parents and little ones will unwind as sweet farm animals in pj's say goodnight to their farm, their mommies and daddies, and to God.

The last page affirms how God made all these animals and "me too"! The child will learn about

A Challenging Perspective on Hospitality

  This book! Wow! What can I say? It's radical, convicting, and pushes you to live completely out of your comfort zone for the sake of the GOSPEL! Rosaria's personal story is a story of Grace - God's grace and a life transformed by the Gospel. She inspires us to practice true hospitality like the Bible commands. She talks about the importance of hospitality, how to use hospitality to share Jesus and the Gospel, and how our lives and those of others should be changed by it. She invites us to reach out, invite in, and love people of all different backgrounds, even those who don't particularly agree with us in lifestyle or otherwise. She propels us to love the sinner, while not condoning the sin. Hospitality - open arms, open table, a welcome to all.  I wish I could put into words how this book inspired me to take a good look at my own life and how I practice hospitality. It made me re-evaluate what I might think hospitality looks like and how to apply it to real life in c
