the end of another chapter

Well, it has finally come to an end. By "it" I mean by Bible College career. I have written every paper, exam, and assignment and reached the end. I am graduating and so excited.

As I look to the future, I have no idea where God is going to take me but I know it will be a ride. I am planning on taking a year off from school and working and then possibly going back to school, but it is all in God's hands.

This is one of those times I wish my dad was here to celebrate with me. I know deep down he is celebrating in Heaven and saying, "yeah! that's my girl!"

I'm off for now.

Keep it real,

Jenn

You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be

You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be
By Max Lucado

I was so excited to receive this book from booksneeze. I opened it up and it was hardcover and a smaller book. It is a great book for graduates! I was impressed by the different topics in the book and how relevant it was to my life as a graduate. Some of the topics Lucaudo are: finding your uniqueness, your work matters, putting a smile on God’s face, Heaven’s custom design, studying your story, being the best you can be, relationships, purpose and taking risks for God.

This is an easy read but feel it is better used more like a devotional book. It is definitely a book you would give someone as a gift. There are some pictures in the book as backgrounds and they enforce the message of that particular chapter or devotion. Like I said, it is a great book for graduates and anyone that like Max Lucado.

How Should a Christian Live?

This is an incredible book for a personal or group setting. The topics covered in this devotional are: abundant life, promise by God, His people, Faith, how God gives, good things, humbleness, God’s truth, trust, goodness, living in His love, and enjoying expectant life. It also has definitions which help to get a better understanding on what is being discussed. The book also consists of a word search or crossword; fill in the blank assignments as well as a few pages at the end of each lesson for journaling.

I would suggest this book to anyone in ministry or looking for a book to help them grow spiritually. With the book comes an mp3 of Bible reading audio which is a great way to hear God’s word. It seems like in our lives there are so many “things” that can get in our way and lead us in a different way than where God calls us and the direction we should be going in as a Christian. I was given this book by booksneeze.com
