Written on the Wall

The West family is considering a few MAJOR changes right now.  We (Justin and I) feel that these things are in God's plan, but would REALLY like a little assurance in some way.  I "coincidentally" came upon this song by Todd Agnew.  The chorus is like this:

I wish you still spoke through burning bushes,

And I wish you still wrote on blocks of stone,

'Cause the sound of this world's deafening

And I'm having a hard time listening

And I wish your will was still written on the wall.

And my favorite verse:

I can't seem to find you

I just need a little clue

It doesn't have to be the parting of the sea

If you'd just show me

your way.

I know you still want to speak to me

Cause I know your love

So if you are reading this, please take a second and pray that Justin and I would follow God's will and have a peace that we are following His will and not ours.  And look up Todd Agnew on youtube--he has some amazing songs that are so very honest about what he sometimes feels as a believer.

Speaking of writings, I am currently reading book 2 of the Inn Boonsboro series, written by Nora Roberts. I'm a HUGE Nora Roberts fan, and if you haven't read any of her books, this series is perfect. Book 2 is titled The Last Boyfriend-- a little romance, a little mystery, even a touch of the supernatural.   (If you're interested, book 1 is The Next Always.)

Also on my summer reading list are the following:

• Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life by Emily Freeman
• Harry Potter by JK Rowling (I actually want to read this entire series! Can't believe I'm an elementary librarian and haven't read them before now! Shhhh.... don't tell anyone!)
• One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
• Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus by Elyse Fitzpatrick
• The Yellow Sock: An Adoption Story by Angela Hunt
• Tamara's Child by BK Mayo

Just a bit of humor: I realized as I was making this list that all of these books, with the exception of Harry Potter, are faith-based novels. I guess after reading the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, God knew I needed to cover that trash up with some good, moral information. He DOES have a sense of humor :)

Have you read any of these books?  Have any great summer reads you would like to share?
