Welcome back!
I desire to connect with other Christian women.
I desire to minister in some way even if it is a small one.
I desire to take care of my family.
I desire to raise my children in a Christ-filled home.
I desire to be a woman after God’s own heart.
I desire to make my husband proud to be my husband.
I desire to leave a legacy.
I desire to love my neighbor as myself, even when that’s difficult.
These are just a few of the things that I desire today. What about you my friend, what about you?
Some Favorites on my Shelf

Yesterday I posted asking for your book recommendations for my reading pleasure, so today I thought I’d recommend some to you, from my shelf that I have read and love. Many of these I have read more than one time, so you know they are really good.
If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat
Cure for the Common Life: Living in Your Sweet Spot
Visioneering: God’s Blueprint for Developing and Maintaining Vision
Speak Up with Confidence: A Step-by-Step Guide for Speakers and Leaders
Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind
You can see from this list the kinds of books I like to read. These have all been on my shelf for quite some time and most of them I have read more than one time, some of brought me through difficult times or decisions, others have helped me to grow closer to God. The good thing about all of these is that they are all written by Christians who write from a Biblical perspective. I believe all of them quote Scripture and I read them with my Bible in my other hand. This is my favorite type of read. What about you? What are some of your favorites?
This is the second in a series of posts on books I’ve read or want to read. See the first post here and make your recommendations.

My kids and I have been battling a stomach bug for several days now, therefore I am not going to be having a Live show of Faith Inspires tonight, but I am ready for next week with an awesome topic, “What Does It Mean to Be a Christian?” We’ll be talking salvation, convictions, and beliefs, next Thursday, 9 pm CST / 10 pm EST on Mom TV Live.
I hope that you’ll join us.
