Reading Challenge 2014

Every year I like to participate in Goodreads reading challenge. I found this to be an excellent way to keep track of the books I have read and the books I hope to read in the future. Last year I failed miserably at my goal, but I am well on my way to completing mine for this year so I think I may increase it. This is also a great way to connect with your friends to see what they are reading.

So far I have read:

The Early and Later Delaware Baptists

Biblical Principles for Parenting by Pastor Larry Youngblood

The Burden Bearer by Paul Chappell

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

It's not too late to jump on the bandwagon! What are your reading goals for this year?

Highlights of 2013: Part 1

This last year has flown by and brought with it many adventures and changes in my life. I thought I would just share the highlights of 2013 and a few pictures with you...

In March, I began courting James Kyte (which is part of my excuse for my long absence here on my blog :).

In April, I flew home for a week to be with my sister while my parents flew down to Mexico for cancer treatment for my dad. Thankfully, he is now cancer free and we pray that it stays that way. 

On May 18th, I graduated from Baptist Bible Translators Institute. Mom, my sister, Joanna and James all came down to celebrate this event. Dad was still recovering from surgery so was not able to make it. 

 

During the month of June, James and I took a missions trip to the Bahamas with his church for a week. And yes, it was a missions trip. :) During the week we helped missionaries Jason and Heather Lowe with a Vacation Bible School. I worked with the preschoolers which was a fun and challenging group.
