On my bookshelf...

I am still trying to figure this blogging thing out!!!  I keep trying to add a list of links to the side for this, but keep getting an error, so until then, I thought I would just post what is on my bookshelf.  I have dedicated to continually be reading a chapter a day in a book for myself, my marriage, and my parenting.  So, I am reading the book "Character Makeover" for myself.  It has been a real eyeopener, exposing me to humility, which I never really understood before.  I have discovered that I also have issues with pride, though not the boastful type.  I self-sabbatoge, but it is a type of pride, because I an cutting God down and not trusting him with the greatness of his power when I do this (ouch)!!!!  For marriage, I have been reading "The Power of a Praying Wife".  This has been an incredible book for opening my eyes to how my hubby sees some things and why he has an issue in some areas.  Men and women just look at things different!!!!  Prayer is the best way to allow God to work on you, your spouse, and your marriage!!!!!!  Pray continual for all aspects of your life that matter!!!!!  For my parenting, I am reading "Have a New Kid by Friday" (thanks Erin).  This is not so much about changing your kids, but changing the way you handle situations.  It has been really intriguing to see how this works!!  Just thought I would share!
