Yarn Along

I have wanted to link to Ginny's blog for a long time but have never gotten around to actually doing it before! Her blog is one of my favorites. She takes gorgeous pictures and writes about life homeschooling six children, knitting, being outdoors, and chickens. 

I am not going to go into any details about my above knitting project because it is a gift. There are many other projects on my mind that I would like to cast on but have been restraining myself until this one is finished. It seems to be taking much much too long!! 

I received Dishes, Diapers, and Dominion as a Christmas gift and am about half-way through it. The book's focus is encouraging women to actively glorify God as moms. I seem to need such encouragement continually, so I have been enjoying it. Since becoming a wife and mother, my reading has gone from consisting mostly of classics and fiction to mostly "practical theology" books. I used to read voraciously but have much less of late. That needs to change. 

At the beginning of this year, I started a read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year plan. I have been reading it on my phone. At first I resisted this idea, because I love the feel of an open book and I wanted my children to see me reading the Bible instead of thinking, "There's mom on her phone some more!" Practicality won out however and so far the pop up reminders have helped me to remember and stay on track! I am very happy to be reading God's Word regularly again.
