So today I wanna give you this favorite thing. Reading. I know. I hear the groans. I have spent too many days being "too busy" to read. Now I try to keep 2 books going, usually one in the living room and one by the bed, one to nourish my mind and one to nourish my spirit.
One obvious choice for your spirit is the Bible. I highly recommend at least 5 minutes in your Bible every day because that's how God speaks to you. 4 pages a day would get you through the whole Bible in about a year. There are also a lot of great books and devotionals that help you dive in spiritual stuff. Max Lucado is one of my old favorites. Jennie Allen is a new good one. Joyce Meyer is not one of my faves but I know a lot of people love her!
To nourish the mind, personally I like to feed my old soul. Right now I'm reading Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis and Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (mind blowing really!) Some of my recent reads have been Becoming Mrs.Lewis by Patti Callahan which really set me on a Lewis binge, Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis and Flapdoodle Trust and Obey by Virginia Cary Hudson (such a cute book filled with letters from a mother to her adult daughter). But maybe you pick up a book about business or, oceanography, or learn a new language or just always mix it up.
The point is just to find something that interests you and feed your spirit and mind. Along the way you will find new ideas, revelations, dreams, conversation starters, gain confidence from your new increase of knowledge or just realize there's some really amazing people that have gone before us.
What are you reading?
