Sunday Matters: So Much Reading

7 Comments

Sunday Matters

I have been flying through books lately! It feels good to finally put a dent in my reading list. Not only that, but I’ve been turning right around and reviewing them too which is great since the details don’t stay with me all that long these days.

Right Now:

The high school students are back from camp so there is a student service today. Can’t wait to hear all their camp stories.

This Week:

Nothing huge planned for this upcoming week. Sticking close to home for Independence Day. We will probably grill something. Independence Day is really the only day I crave a hot dog. Mainly because of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest. This year, Joey Chestnut was banned due to an endorsement conflict of interest so he’s out of the running.

Reading:

Finishing up The Summer Club. Next up, possibly The Return of Ellie Black. The Summer Club

Grateful for:

Breakfast, out. It’s my favorite meal of the day and I just love going to breakfast.

Sunday Matters: And So It Goes

Sunday Matters

This past week I’ve noticed more progress in my recovery journey. It feels great but it always takes me by surprise. For instance, I hosted book club at my house this past week. We take turns and it was my turn this month. I was a little nervous, to be honest, because I had not hosted since my brain surgery and I was a little freaked out about it. 

BUT, it went swimmingly. The weather cooperated, we sat outside, had good food and a great discussion. As I sat there I thought about how far I’ve come since the surgery and it made me so happy! These types of milestones are  huge!

Right Now:

No student ministry today because they leave for camp. This means my weekend is wide open. I really need to do some purging. Things just piled up around me these last few months. 

This Week:

I don’t have anything planned for this week. I need to write-up a couple of reviews but that’s it. 

I’m finishing up King’s new one, You Like It Darker. Overall, I am enjoying it. It’s really fun to listen to on my commute. 

My next read is House of Cotton.

Grateful for:

Quiet moments. Sometimes, my head gets loud. Do you know what I mean? The constant self-chatter, the reminders to do this or that, the worries that sneak in, etc. So when I have a quiet moment I really sink into it. Especially now, post surgery. I force myself to slow down and it’s a good thing.
