Almost to the day, one year ago, I picked up this book at the library. Since then, Ted Dekker has taken me on a crazy amazing journey. Someday I hope to meet him and thank him for his stories that have changed me. This day was his birthday. :)

So...I went away for two days and...I failed to take any pictures... >.< I regret not pulling it out of my bag because there were so many beautiful photo opportunities on that trip. :P I shall try to not let it happen again.

{Day 39/365}

Apple day! Baked apples, dried apples, applesauce, apple butter...

Missed two more days... I don't remember what my excuse was. :P

{Day 42/365}

The first snow!! It was a perfect beautiful day!

Since I missed so many days this week I'll put in some more pictures from this day. ;)

What I'm...

What I'm reading...

Not A Fan by Kyle Idleman We're studying this in our small group and I'm learning SO much. It's very challenging and convicting.
Love Wins by Rob Bell I know, I know!! It's that bad controversial book that everyone's talking about. :P But I've always liked Rob Bell's Nooma videos and I wanted to find out for myself what exactly is so terrible about this book. I have heard plenty about the book so I am going at it already skeptical and almost against anything he says. So far though it has been a great way for me to really dig into God's Word while I'm reading and see if what he's saying is the truth and to find the answers to the questions he asks.
House by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti
His Chosen Bride by Jennifer Lamp I'm doing a Skype Bible study with some of my CP! sisters and we're reading this book. I'm REALLY excited to be able to chat with them every week and the book looks perfect for this point in my life. :)

What I'm listening to...

Coldplay - Every Teardrop is a Waterfall This song. It makes me smile. :) So excited for the new album!!
Sky Sailing - An Airplane Carried Me to Bed My current study music ;)
Switchfoot - Vice Verses It totally took me 10 minutes to decide which song to link to. They're all so good! I finally just chose this one but go listen to them all!! Every song is simply amazing, musically and spiritually.

What I'm watching...
