Okay, so I think you get how deep my obsession is with books. I just got two new ones today. I don't really have the money to buy stuff yet, but I thought these two books were something I should invest in for my own personal growth as a human. Normally, I'm all about going and renting from the library and then buying as a last resort (unless I really love it or it's on uber sale). And heck, these two books were $6.29 total. I picked up Procrastination: Preventing the Decay of Delay and Forgiveness: The Freedom to Let Go, both by June Hunt. I'm really having difficulty in the area of forgiving some of the betrayals I've felt in the last year, so I thought this book would be perfect. I often have a hard time with forgiving. And it's not the typical problem. You could hurt me a million times, but if you said sorry, I'd accept it and forgive you. I give so many second chances, I often get walked all over. I'm hoping this book can keep me forgiving like Jesus, but still drawing the boundaries to keep from being a door mat for others. The second is just because I love to put things off and then the next thing I know, I've run out of hours in the day! I'm so a list maker, so I'm hoping this will help me work through my lists in a timely manner and not always losing hours of sleep to get things done. I'll have to keep you updated on what I learn from these babies.
“knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” -1 Peter 1:18-19

Forgive like Jesus
I love books. Ask anyone who knows me, books are one of my giant obsessions. Give me hot chocolate, a cozy blanket, a good book, and a dog or two (or even three), and I'll be set for a day. You could probably leave me in one spot and return 12 hours later and I'd still be there reading away.
