At the first of the year I made a post on my Facebook page asking for book suggestions to add to my reading list for 2014. This came about as a result of recognizing my need to spend more time reading, challenging my mind and stretching me out of my comfort zone. I received many good suggestions and I am pleased to say that by the time you read this article I will have finished my first book of the new year. I know, some of you have already read several books this year, but for me this is a big deal!!

                The book title is "God Is Able" by Priscilla Shirer. Vickie was reading the book and said she thought I should read it along with her because it was focusing on one of my favorite Bible verses, Ephesians 3:20-21..."Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen." (Note to the guys....it's a good idea to listen to your wife--- God did give her to you as a helper) The book was a great reminder that no matter what you are facing, what you are going through, what decision you have to make---- God can handle it-- He IS Able!

                Why do I share that with you? It has to do with me committing myself to Him to make the biggest impact I can for Him with the days He gives me. It has to do with growing. For me growing in my relationship with the Lord included adding more reading. It also includes spending more time with Him in prayer, more time in community with others- developing relationships, and sharing Christ more faithfully among other things.

                Here's to growing - will you join me on your own personal journey of growing in Christ? I am  starting book number 2, "Love Does" by Bob Goff, and I can't wait to see what God has to teach me this week!

God is Good All The Time!
