Snatch Reading in Spare Moments
On my nightstand, in my work bag, in my kitchen, in my purse, on my shelves, in my closet, in totes, in boxes, in my Kindle, in my computer... I've got books everywhere! What are you reading?
The Post I've Been Avoiding... The Diagnosis
Hello my dear readers and friends, You've no doubt noticed a change in my blog over the last few weeks and seen hints of health troubles and tests. This is the post I've been avoiding. I just haven't been ready to identify with the problem nor am I sure I want to now. After all, God is the God of miracles. I need miracles, I'll bet you do, too. Here goes. I found a lump on April 22nd. It's been an earth shaker to me and my family for the last few weeks. This was the cause of the exhausting rounds of tests and appointments. Yes. It is breast cancer. It's in all the lumps in my left breast and in a lymph node. My mother and maternal aunt both had breast cancer many years ago. To answer a few questions you might have: The CT scan showed no cancer in the rest of my body. Praise God! The oncologist scheduled me for chemo first because it is an aggressive cancer. They want to shrink it first before surgery. I will also have mas...
I love to read..
ReplyDeleteI read my bible first thing in the morning [So nothing will come up and make me not do it. I use to try it at night..But , would get busy..]
This past couple weeks, I haven't read any books.. I have been spring cleaning and getting our house ready to sale ?? SO.. no time.. but hope to read soon. Have a great week.
I understand, Judy. Glad you're getting things done and getting your Bible read first!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Laura
Hi Laura. I agree. I adore reading and yet confine myself to a reading marathon when on holidays. I'm taking your advice and leaving a book here and there, including in the car, to see if I can rectify that. Thankyou for sharing this at Five Star Frugal. Hopefully others will be similarly inspired. Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteLet's see, by my bed I have "God and Kings" by Lynn Austin, as well as "Good Poems", for when I'm in-between books.
ReplyDeleteIn my living room I have my bible and
"Faith" by Reinhard Bonnke
In the loo I have "The Domes Day Book" and "All in a Word" by Vivian Cook,
in my work bag I have "Interweave Knits"
My book club book this month is "Still Life with Bread Crumbs" by Anna Quindlen.
Hmmmm.... seems like a short list!
I hope you find it works for you Mimi.
ReplyDeleteI am still reading Matt. 4, and have been for over 2 yrs, every day. Something I felt I was supposed to do, on the temptation of the Lord. I am still working on it, I believe I will know when I am finished. I'm also going through the book of Acts, I'm in chapter 12 right now.
ReplyDeleteAt the library I checked out Trim, Healthy Mama, and Taste of Home Cake Mix Creations, (that sounds ridicules, but I found the cook book when my order for the THM came in. I am also reading Clear The Clutter, Find Happiness. I found 3 - 25 cent books also, On The Way to The Future, Daniel's Visions and the Believer's Hope by Ray Stedman, WW Complete Food Companion, Points Values, and last but not least, Love Finds You in Sugar Creek Ohio. I read novels, and the Stedman book, front to finish, but everything else in bits and pieces as I go along. My Bible study goes from the beginning of the book until the end, except for the long read on Matt. 4
Now I want to go read Matthew 4 just to see what's there! You've got several books going, too. Do you read a bit of all or do you read them one at a time? I read like some folks watch tv episodes, a little here a little there.
ReplyDeleteI've had so little time for reading lately! I set aside time early each morning to read my Bible, but after that I pretty much just read children's books.
ReplyDeleteI hope to get into a good book soon, though, as this is refreshing to me.
I absolutely understand Shannon. That's why I snatch a few minutes here and there!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge pile of books right by my bed waiting to be read. I always read late into the night while laying on my side in bed with my reading light...it's something I look forward to each evening :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
I so enjoy reading too Laura and I appreciate the fact that you have books all over the place. I am especially grateful for the kindle on my phone so that I can take it with me easily and read here and there, otherwise there seems no time. Thanks for sharing with us at Good Morning Mondays. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed books on my Ipod's Kindle app as well Terri.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteSo many great reads so little time. I hope I'd find the time for these. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Hi, these are great ideas. I also have to snatch time reading between blogging and writing. :)

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'll do that. Be healed in Jesus' Name!
I do snatch reading when I am waiting in the Dr's office. Rarely go to the Dr. so don't do it often enough. I've got to snatch a little more! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
