no place like home...

This is the view I see when I walk out onto my front porch at home. Is this not beautiful? This is one of the reasons why my favorite place when it is warm at home is on the front porch. It is where I can relax and take all the world in. I miss this when I am gone, but it makes it that much sweeter when I get back. I have a few weeks here at home before I go off to camp for the summer. I am taking that time to spend with my family, see friends, cook yummy food, and READ!!!! What is my favorite way to kick back and dive into a book? Well that would have to be in my hammock :) This thing is awesome I have to say. I can hang it up on the front porch and just lose myself in another world. I have just recently finished a series entitled the Hunger Games. It is a three book young adult series that is quite gripping and enthralling. I would recommend it. I mentioned way back in an earlier post that I was trying to read all of the Sparks books. I still am but I received these books as a birthday present and they were such an easy and quick read that I had to take a slight break from my goal. No worries though. I am back to reading another Sparks book and enjoying every moment!

I also have still been keeping up with my Bible reading. Since my last post I have finished reading Romans, Ruth, and Ephesians. All of the books were very humbling and eye opening. I fall in love with this daily Bible reading challenge more and more every day that I continue doing it. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who is looking to dive into their faith a little deeper. Tomorrow I start 1 Samuel. It should be fun!

I hope everybody is enjoying their weekend. I know I sure am. Whether it is a stroll down to the Farmer's Market, or a look in the Library, or a nice quiet chunk of time on the front porch, home is where I feel the best. It feels so great to be here for a while and I am so lucky to have my home in a beautiful piece of land that God created. He is so awesome!!!! Thank you to everybody who has been praying for me as well as everybody who has been finishing up school. It was much appreciated!!! I pray that everybody is doing well and that you are enjoying your warm weather before the rain begins. And of course I pray that your journey is blessed!!!!
