August Reads

None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us by Jen Wilkin : I'm quickly becoming quite the fan of Mrs. Jen Wilkin. I've been working through her 1 Peter Bible Study this summer and I absolutely loved reading through this book on the attributes of God. I found myself reminded of so many things and almost felt a sense of relief as I contemplated what God is like. This book was a delight to read. I love that there is now a book on God's attributes written especially for women. Pure awesomeness! I highly recommend this book for both new believers and those with years of experience. I also think it would make a great book club book. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian: This book is one that I have been wanting to read for years and I just never got around to it. I am so glad that I finally took the time to read and pray through this book! What better gift could I give my husband the past month than to spend time earnestly praying for him through a

Earlier in June we embarked on a new adventure. TENT CAMPING! Two summers ago we enjoyed a wonderful time camping in a borrowed pop-up camper but this was our first experience sleeping in a tent as a family. We loaded up our very full van and headed to Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky for a new adventure. It was wonderful.

We had so much spending time with them. We stayed at Hillman Ferry Campground and I would definitely stay there again. Hillman Ferry Campground has a lovely beach with an area roped off for swimming. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and I even took them swimming in the lake. I have been swimming many times in a lake but I think this was my children's first real time swimming in a lake. (The closest lake to us no longer
