48 Books I Read in 2016 (And the 3 That Changed My Life!)

At the beginning of 2016/end of 2015, I announced that my goal for 2016 was to read 24 books--two books a month.  While I didn't blow my goal out of the water with 66 like last year, I still was able to get a lot of reading done and ended up doubling by goal by reading 48 books. As a recap, here are the books I completed in 2016: Animal Farm by George Orwell The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne Where Is God When It Hurts? by Philip Yancey Make It Happen: Surrender Your Fear.  Take the Leap.  Live on Purpose.…

2016 Goal Recap

Last year I set (a lot) of goals for myself.  Thankfully, we have goal tracker apps nowadays that help me keep track of what I'm doing and not doing and that can help me analyze the data.  As I look over the past year, some of the things I hoped to accomplish were a little inconsistent but present nonetheless.  That being said, if I completed the goal 75% of the time or more, I'm going to say that I accomplished it. Unfortunately, I failed in many areas.  Thank goodness for a new year to start over and try again. Anyway, here's…

If You Could Describe 2015 in One Word…

...what would it be? I ask this question every year.  I love to hear the answers that everyone has to give.  Some years are hard.  Others are wonderful.  I love to hear the stories that come with them. At the beginning of 2015, my one word was faith. I thought that maybe, by the end of the year, my ending word would be different, but I can't describe the year any differently than how I intended it to be.  It was faith that we relied on, and it was faith that grew each and every day, week, and month this year.…
