I love books. Reading is my escape from the world to enjoy just a few minutes of solitude for myself. Granted, those minutes usually slip away into hours, but you know what I mean. I love the thought behind "get lost in a good book". I wish I could do that everyday, however, school life & homework do take precidence to pleasure reading.
Lucky for me, this is finals week, which means I have already done all the studying possible, soo . . . I can "get lost in a good book"! The list of books I want to read is endless & I do hope to get to them all, however, this reading escapade started with "Redefining Beau-ti-ful" by Jenna Lucado.
Though I am older than the targeted age-group, I have learned much from Jenna's thoughts. From personal appearance to my relationship status with Christ, the ideas found in her devotional were spiritually uplifting. I found myself encouraged on every page & sought to turn pages faster to see what else the Lord would have for me to learn. What did I learn most? That I am beautiful in the sight of God & that is all that matters. I don't have to be popular or physically gorgeous. My character & my ministry to the Lord is what truly defines my beauty.
